This historic home is very tastefully updated and was extremely clean. The location is great, a short walk from Whole Foods and about a mile from downtown Birmingham. There is a large furnished deck, and the garden is lovely. I would recommend planning to eat out while in town, as the kitchen is not really set up for actual cooking (no dish towels, and the cooking equipment consists of four nonstick fry pans, one 1.5 quart nonstick sauce pan, and two disposable cookie sheets that appear to have been used a lot already). Also, the property would not be appropriate for people who have scent allergies/sensitivities, as there are a lot of air fresheners and scent diffusers all over. There is also no shower gel, only shampoo and conditioner, in the shower so you should bring your own shower supplies.
