Guests can enter the house using a digital keypad. Once inside, to the left is the living room, and to the right is the first bedroom with a queen bed.
Straight ahead from the front door leads to the kitchen and dining table. You will also find a hallway leading to the first bathroom with a shower/tub, master suite, laundry area, a door to the patio, and a staircase.
Upstairs goes to the half bathroom and the two remaining bedrooms. Outside, our backyard has a table with four chairs and a BBQ grill.

East Lake Park is a 100-acre city park anchoring Birmingham 's North East Lake neighborhood, between 1st Avenue North and 3rd Court North and between 80th and 84th Street North. It adjoins Lynn Park across 4th Avenue North . The park was first developed in 1886 as a private attraction for the East Lake Land Company. This is a transitioning neighborhood.

We had techs working in Alabama and Patriot homes worked with us to extend our stay repeatedly when we had to stay longer than we anticipated. They will work with you to get you what you need and usually are great at responding and answering when you call.

House was comfortable, neighborhood was in a rough part of town.
The property was clean, and large. Across from a park, but the neighborhood is the getto. It was the coldest part of the year, one day was 16 degrees. So no one was coming out of their houses. The security could be better, window a/c units, unlocked windows. Can see where the house would be hot in the summer. Little to no insulation. Water heater was not working, called/sent maintenance out to fix it. Power went out twice, blown transformer, toilet ran all the time, couple soft spots in flooring. At one point the house was 30 degrees inside. We still had a good time, I have a concern carry permit, recommended.

Highland dr instead
The tub didnt turn completely off so it was rough sleeping at night with the constant sound of water and i feel the cleanliness was not great. The front of the stove looked like toddlers used it to draw with food. We also had to figure a seperate way to get in(the backdoor) due to front door being chained when the family and i showed up in the dark with full hands after climbing the hill. We also couldn't park infront of the house upon arrival without having to ask the neighbors to move their vehicles. Overall for the price, last minute switch and it being a holiday not impressed.

Great Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay on this property. The house is really pleasant, modern and had enough room for our 3 families that stayed here for a basketball tournament. The ease of unlocking the property and communicating with the hosts were excellent. The house was clean...loved the working washer/dryer, kitchen items, the a/c unit, etc... Even though the neighborhood looks a little rough, the neighbors were kind and friendly.
