Nice size space but questionable neighborhood
Walls are thin and we were woke up by some domestic fighting in middle of night. Pluses are property manager was super helpful with maintenance issues…minuses were the maintenance problem - fridge was broken for our stay. Dryer wouldn’t shut off unless you open the door. The unit had plenty of towels and bed linens. Shower was roomy. Mattress was pretty firm so boyfriend loved and I thought it was too hard. No TV in bedroom and there was stains on carpet in bedroom as well as throw rug in living room. It smelled amazing in there and seemed to be pretty clean. I would recommend if you need a place to crash and do not plan on hanging out there much. We will probably rent a house next time as we were there to visit family and didn’t like having all the noise from other people coming through walls. Hope this honest review helps you decide!

Great place!
We had a great time staying here. It was charming inside and a great place for my son and I. We stayed 4 nights and have no complaints. The street was quiet and the neighborhood is a quiet, older neighborhood. I had a few questions while we were there and the owner responded quickly each time. I would stay here again!

Furnace Fest weekend
The property was very clean and smelled great when we walked in! The owners made it very easy to check in and find everything around the house. The location was great with nearby restaurants and a well stocked convenience store two blocks away. We had a great stay and would recommend this property to anyone. Thanks for the hospitality.

The place had character
Bare in mind that this was only our second experience with HomeAway, and we were not happy before our arrival since the race we had come to town to run a race that was postponed due to weather so we thought we were going to spend the whole time watching TV since it was non-refundable. As it turned out, we have some nice weather. Parking on street wasn't a problem. It's an old building that could use some sprucing up, but that apartment was clean with lots of character. It was a challenge to open the lockbox on the door because of the dark hallway and woodwork. I loved the cats pictures on the wall, and the bed was quite comfortable, but the apartment didn't get very dark at night. With the streetlights and lack of curtains on all the windows it was quite bright. The building itself seemed to be quiet, but there was quite a bit of street noise and creaky floor to keep me awake. The bathroom was an experience. There's not much room for anything and we had to use the toilet sitting sideways because we couldn't fit between the commode and the tub. The location was fair. There's a few eateries close by with a few others that are walkable as well as Railroad Park. Beware of that hill by Quinlan Castle, it's a workout. lol

Very clean and cute!
I didn’t get to explore the area around the apartment, because we were doing college registration for my daughter. However, the inside looks exactly as pictured and is very clean. I enjoyed my stay, but didn’t cook or watch tv- so hard to comment on those.

Comfortable, convenient apartment.
The apartment is in a great location with great restaurants within easy walking distance. We were able to comfortably walk to museums. This apartment was clean and nicely decorated. The washer and dryer were a plus. We were able to park on the street without difficulty.

Great apartment in a great location
We were visiting family for the holiday and came across this home. We loved the place from the moment we walked in. It was comfortable and clean. There were plenty of towels and sheets but the addition of having a washer and dryer was quite nice. The bed was extremely comfortable. The owners directions were clear and easy to understand. Overall we enjoyed the home and we will stay here on future visits.

Cute and chic apartment in fun part of town!
I stayed at this apartment for a week while in town for the high school National Speech and Debate Championships. The apartment was clean, had all the things I was looking for like air conditioning, washer/dryer and character. The bed was very comfortable and I loved the hip decor. It is only a short walk from Starbucks, Jimmy Johns, Waffle House, Pancake House, and my favorite restaurant to visit when I come to Birmingham, Highlands Bar and Grill! There are also some cool shops and bars in the neighborhood. The price for this apartment and it's location was a great deal and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Birmingham. Also, the owner was very attentive and answered all my questions via text.

Perfect near UAB hospital and Kirklin Clinic.
This one bedroom beautifully decorated and clean is very close to UAB hospital. It was a quiet apartment. Very little noise from neighbors. Very little street noise. It had everything a hotel room would have and more! Free parking was on the street in front of the apartment. I was able to park there each night. Owner was very nice and helpful when I had a question. Walking distance to popular restaurants.
