Great place to stay
We stayed the weekend for our son's University of Alabama graduation and found our stay to be convenient to Tuscaloosa and airport plus more reasonable than staying in Tuscaloosa for graduation. House was perfect for a couple and we even had the extra bedroom for larger families. I would recommend this house to others for trips to Alabama.

Not bad for price
Was a pleasant spot, old house but had the new amenities which was a nice change, if the twin beds in the room were at least full beds it would have been perfect stay, would stay again.

We love staying at Britt's houses. Her houses are so homey and comfortable. The house is clean and the bed is comfortable. Lots of items in the kitchen if you need to cook. We love the neighborhood, too! Britt's houses are our go to rentals when we are in Birmingham!

Just as described this was a charming bungalow home in a nice Avondale neighborhood. We were in town for a quick night stay to catch a show at the Avondale Brewery and it was an easy 14 minute walk to get there. The amenities were fine, water was hot, owners provided free streaming services on the tv and the bed was comfortable. We would def rent again when we come back to BHam!!

Great house in a great location
Had to be in town for a few days for work with the family. We enjoyed our stay and the location was great. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was the house was not as clean as we are accustomed to with VRBO, a lot of dirt and dust on the floors and some surfaces. Other than that, great stay!

Great Place
We needed a quiet, comfortable house while our son recovered from knee surgery in Birmingham.The house was perfect. In a very nice, safe neighborhood. Due to weather, we needed to extend our stay. The owners were so easy to work and communicate with to make this happen. If you looking for a “home” for a short stay or even an extended stay I would highly recommend it!!

Great house, perfect location
The house is very nice. The neighborhood is great. The location is spectacular, you can walk to restaurants, breweries, music. It is a short drive to Barber Motorsports Park, we went there for motorcycle races. Downtown isn't far. The house itself is very nice, everything was clean, it has TV (Apple Tv). Overall great place.

Great neighborhood. Enjoyed it.
Great property. Old house with charm. Slept well. Quiet neighborhood. Beautiful homes everywhere. Great access to Avondale restaurants. Enjoyed the porch swing in the front and the privacy of the backyard. Had trouble with the appletv but enjoyed reading instead. Bathroom could use a vent fan, but an all around solid house. Would stay again.

Cottage in beautiful neighborhood
Well appointed cottage a couple of blocks off a busy street with easy access to the hospitals, downtown & clubs. Home is nicely decorated with a welcoming swing on the front porch. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe & fantastic for walking with a park 2 blocks away. Options for breakfast, lunch and dinner are also close by. The General is a quaint coffee shop with good breakfasts and a lovely gift shop. Communication with the owner was easy and swift. Washcloths and bath/shower soap were in short supply but the onsite washer & dryer accommodated that. We’ll be back!

It’s a lovely home built in 1922. Original hardwood floors and glass knobs on bedrooms and bathroom doors. Brought back memories of my Grandmother’s house in my childhood. Very comfortable and quiet neighborhood.
