6/10 Okay

Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was nice but there were several things that need to be looked after.1. The filter coffee machine had no container to put the coffee in - so was useless.2. The sink in the shared bathroom (not Master Bathroom) would not drain.3. Sheets, towels, etc were in the dryer when we arrived. I had to fold them, otherwise we could not use the washer-dryer.4. There was a woman's underwear in the master bathroom on the folded towel rack!! Really bad to have to come to a house that does this and one is suppose to use the towels!5. No coat hangers - which was quickly resolved but only for 3 guest capacity and we were 6 people. So in conclusion - disappointed on how the property was presented and managed for our stay.

The house is beautiful and was well stocked for our stay. Coffee supplies and other necessities were provided by the host. Ample towels for the number of guests. The street parking was good and the ability to park in the back inside the gated yard was great. The screened in porch is so nice - we used it quite a bit! Definitely recommend choosing this home for your Birmingham stay!

We went down for my brother’s surgery at UAB and this place was easy driving to hospital. House was clean and had plenty of toilet paper and towels in bathrooms. Messaged with a question and she was very fast to reply. Nice screened in back porch to sit and drink my coffee. Enjoyed the place .

Host profile image
Hi there!
I’m the owner and operator of a short-term rental business built around one simple goal: making guests feel right at home. I absolutely love what I do — especially designing spaces that are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked for a five-star stay.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me spending time with my family, hanging out with my dogs, experimenting in the kitchen, or unwinding with a good video game. I’m all about the little details and genuinely enjoy helping people have the best stay possible.

Travel plays a big part in my life, too — from honeymooning in Iceland, to exploring Mexico, to visiting family in Orlando and Gulf Shores. I know what it feels like to have an amazing stay, and that’s exactly the experience I aim to deliver to every guest.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help and excited to host you!
