Awesome Loft and Location

My husband and I came for a short two-night stay in Birmingham, en route to home. Loved this convenient location. One of the best appointed properties in which I've ever stayed. Is there anything the owner didn't think of?! Loved it!

Lovely place!

This city condo was in a very convenient location with many restaurants within walking distance. Nice parking lot right outside the door. Felt very safe. Was very nice inside the condo with great bed / furniture / appliances. Communication with property manager was very easy, especially when we forgot one of our pillows and she made it easy to run by and pick it up a few days later!

Fabulous Stay

I chose this location for myself and my cousin (38F and 40F) to stay in a good spot downtown Birmingham so we could be centrally located to a comedy show at the Alabama Theatre. The theatre was a 13 min walk and we got there safely. After the show we were able to walk to multiple local restaurants and bars that were fantastic! The parking in the lot behind the space was very clean, safe and affordable. The pictures are super accurate and the space showcases the original beams, exposed brick, and beauty of the building. The train truly is not a disturbance as the horn doesn’t blow, but the sound machine is a great option on hand. Highly recommend Pizza Grace (Less than a block away on the same street) and East West (2nd avenue about 2 blocks away). There were several other options we didn’t get to try due to the hour wait for dinner. Phenomenal host and experience! We hope to get to stay there again.
