A home away from home!

Absolutely the cleanest VRBO ive ever stayed in! Everything top to bottom was clean and the rental was well stocked. Bed was comfortable and all the amenities were available. The kitchen, pantry, cabinets etc were all stocked thoughtfully with items you would have at home. I havent got a single complaint and tons of praise! Check in was quick and easy too! I was extremely happy with this VRBO and will definitely be staying here again on my next visit.

Wonderful stay in Hoover!

We booked a week stay in Hoover to visit friends & check out the area. This condo was perfect for our needs. Very centrally located & comfortable. It was never far from anything we wanted to check out. The owners went above & behind when we carelessly left some items behind to get it back to us. Totally recommend!!

Midweek Stay for Baseball

The property was very close to The Met in a very nice area of town. We checked in after dark and felt safe while the check-in worked seamlessly. The Condo was clean and well furnished and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay as it was easy and quick to get back and forth to the SEC Baseball Tournament. There were also good restaurants nearby from fast food to steak and seafood.

Golf Getaway

Cozy residence with very thoughtful amenities. Quiet, safe and secure property in a lovely rural setting close to many upscale restaurants and close to a very nice state park. Public golf courses in the area are very nice which was the motivation for our visit to Alabama. We had a wonderful experience with this property and the surrounding area.

A Little Gem in a Good Location

My wife and I stayed for a somewhat extended period to visit in the Birmingham area. The unit was well appointed and clean. The neighbors were friendly. The location was very good, for us. We participated in some downtown events, and downtown was only 15 minutes, or so, away. Shopping and restaurants are nearby. Really.....quite nice.

Nice Clean apartment

The property description is very accurate. It is a nice clean little place to stay. The property manager was very quick and helpful to answer any questions I had. My only complaint would be not being able to use a Discover card to pay for the booking. Other than that it is a great place to stay.

Perfect for My Purposes

I was only in town for less than 72 hours and needed a place that accepted dogs, convenient to my son and his family in Vestavia Hills. This really filled the bill. My only issue was my own ignorance of not being tech-savvy on operating a live stream TV (cable is my friend!). But I was actually in the condo for just a relatively short amount of time, so this wasn't a huge issue (and likely no issue for most folks!). Everything I needed was there, and the layout and amenities were at my fingertips. The condo was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure . . . those were my three most important features! I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others. Very helpful host, too! Thanks much!
