Nice house and host

The house was great inside, very clean and had all the amenities. Host was easy to communicate with and attentive to any needs. We felt safe in the house with the security system and lighting around the property. However, we felt cautious about the surrounding area including the nearby public housing and Kings discount grocery.

Lovely stay, would stay again!

We stayed one night for a local event. Our amazing host was very accommodating, communicating quickly, with clear details. Everything was clean, smelled lovely, just as advertised. I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The common theme of noise is unfortunately accurate with this home being in the heart of town, trains and local street noise was heard but it did not prevent me or my friend from getting a good night sleep. We felt very safe and welcome here. Give this home a chance, you won't be disappointed!!

Genesis House

The property was very nice. I love the charm of older homes. We were going to Barber motorsports track and the house is about 20 minuets away so it worked out well. Laura reached out a couple times to see if there was anything we need. She also had a snack basket for us which was a nice touch. If I go back to Birmingham I would stay there again.

Genesis Bungalow!!!

We loved our stay in this Birmingham Bungalow! Our host went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for our time spent in Alabama! A thoughtful welcome basket was waiting for us full of snacks and treats for our toddlers. This place was perfect for our little family. Fenced in back yard for the kiddos to run off some energy. Fully equipped kitchen ready with whatever you’d need…even a grill in the backyard! Living area was cozy, bedrooms were spacious and the home was minutes away from a few amazing concert venues. Will definitely try and stay again if we’re ever back in town.

The host was magnificent. Very clear and helpful communication from the time of booking through to checkout. Host was accommodating and helpful. Property is conveniently located near airport, easy access to downtown and interstate. Property was clean, spacious and secure. Beds were very comfortable. Driveway to accommodate rental so that we did not have to park on the street. Nice, spacious backyard with a charcoal grill. Fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer made the stay easy and feel like home. There was a basket of snacks available and a note with nearby things of interest. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends/family traveling in the area.
