Family reunion
This was a clean, safe quiet neighborhood. It was perfect for 7 adults to use as a base for a family get together in Birmingham.

Nice Place, fabulous location.
The location was amazing. Close to Samford University, and downtown Homewood and Mountain Brook. Not well appointed… very small table for four and not enough dishes. Some maintenance issues poor lighting getting up to the house at night and we had an older aunt and uncle with us.. just a few things would’ve made it an excellent stay!

Wonderful, cozy home
This home had everything our family needed to rest while we moved our daughter into her dorm. The neighborhood is beautiful with beautiful trees. We all slept well in comfortable beds. It's also close to shopping, parks and coffee spots. We hope to revisit this place when we visit Homewood again. Danny made sure we had what we needed, too.

Fantastic stay!
The property was clean, spacious and perfect for our family. Slight hiccup with check-in process in that the door code was not sent to us by VRBO, but our host was responsive and apologetic. He even refunded us a night's stay immediately as a gesture of goodwill and without us asking. Highly recommend to anybody looking to stay in a wonderful spot in Birmingham.

Peaceful neighborhood access to Birmingham sites
Comfortable home, would easily accommodate six. Clean and well appointed. Easy drive to museums, restaurants, beautiful neighborhoods. Charming city, presenting honest history. Impressive Civil Rights Museum. Sloss Furnaces provided great historic background of the economic development of Birmingham.

Comfortable older home with eclectic vibe!
Comfortable and cool home that our family would stay in again. Comfy beds with extra towels, nice deck and chairs out back, great location with close proximity to interstate. Plenty of things provided, like shampoo and conditioner, extra garbage bags and dishwasher pods which was helpful. Good communication with owner. Some cosmetic attention to things like peeling paint on windows would make this an all-around stellar place to stay!

Enjoyed this well outfitted home with easy access to Avondale, Edgewood, and all the good food Birmingham has to offer. There was coffee in the pantry, coffee maker, and extra toilet paper. The beds were comfortable and the home owner was responsive.

Terrific location in a great neighborhood.
The house was ideal for my girlfriend getaway. The location was great. We toured Volcan Park , Botanical Gardens, and ate at SoHo Social , which has a great happy hour starting at 3. All these were very close to the house. It was a short ride into Birmingham to visit the multiple breweries. The beds and house are very comfortable for the four of us. I would recommend this house but be aware there are multiple steps leading up to the front door. Not a problem for my group but may be difficult for someone with mobility issues.

Wedding stay
We came to town for a wedding and were within minutes of all the dinner and wedding venues. We were close to Vulcan Park, the botanical gardens, good coffee and restaurants. Also it was just a quick trip to the airport. The location could not have been better! There was some confusion about cleaning after a previous guest, but the owner made it right in a convenient way for us, so all was well!

Great location in Birmingham. Within walking distance of Vulcan Park and a few minutes of driving to great shopping and dining. Our group enjoyed the location and space for visiting. Not a suitable property for anyone with mobility issues, stair climbing required.

Great Location on a Quiet Street
This house is located on a quiet street in the Redmond section of Birmingham. It has 3 bedrooms that can accommodate 2 people per room. There's also a couch on an enclosed side porch where a 7th guest could stay. The house is on the smaller side, so I don't recommend that. Also, the kitchen is spacious but basically is set up for 4 diners. Overall, we were pleased with the home and recommend it.

Perfect home away from home
This is the perfect home away from home. We rented this home for family coming in town for Samford graduation. This was so much better than being in hotel rooms. We had great family time cooking in the well equipped kitchen, playing cards at the kitchen table, sleeping comfortably in the spacious rooms and touring Vulcan Park. It’s in a great location to so many areas of Birmingham. Highly recommend this lovely home and working with Danny.
