Perfect place

The property was good, clean and interesting and it was in a great location. The best part of the stay were they owners. They were extremely helpful and always available via cell phone. The book they created in the loft was especially helpful and we took some of their recommendations.

Great location, great amenities, and comfortable

I'll just start this review by saying I have stayed in alot of VRBOs and other short-term rentals, and this may have been the best rental I have stayed in. Location was great...right downtown, near amazing restaurants, and within walking distance of B'ham's rail trail. I ran every morning from the apartment to the rail trail. The apartment is very clean and comfortable...in particular the bed and bed pillows. The apartment has many cool features (e.g., old elevator that is now a closet), soaker tub, and great windows facing the street. We had the windows open every day to bring in the breeze. Parking was easy and close. Don't hesitate to rent this place, you'll love it. Keep in mind that this is downtown B'ham, so like many downtowns, it's a bit loud. But next time I visit B'ham, I would hope this place is available to rent again.

High School Reunion

Four of us planned to travel to B'ham for our 50th High School Reunion. Our original plans fell through at the last minute and we found the loft just a few days before arriving. We really lucked out! The loft was more than we expected and Joey was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!!!!

It was simply amazing! The owner actually met us at the property and was not only hospitable that offered information in regards to dining. The pictures do not do it justice! Everything was exactly as was described. It was immaculate and very comfortable! There are excellent establishments within walking distance to dine. I was concerned about safety issues, but it is a friendly environment and walking whether during the day or evening was not an issue at all! Would highly recommend this home!.

Perfectly located city hideaway

In this charming and spacious apartment right in the middle of downtown Birmingham, we had a wonderful time. We walked to dinner at a lovely French restaurant right across the street and were comfortable after dinner to enjoy space to relax and spread out. Nice comfy beds too.

Beautiful loft with cool furnishings. Lots of restaurants, museums and other fun things within walking distance. Highly recommended but only caveat is loft requires climbing long staircase. Not a problem unless you have mobility issues.

Great stay in unique Birmingham loft

We had a great stay at Joey's renovated loft in downtown Birmingham, a true piece of history. Walking distance to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and many historic places, directly across the street from a fabulous restaurant (Bistro 218). We appreciated the nearby parking and were grateful for the washer/dryer in the apartment. My husband loved working at the desk by the full-length windows. Note that there is an impressive set of stairs up to the loft, so be prepared to cart your belongings. This wasn't a problem for us, but could affect those who need an ADA-compliant space.
