This is a lovely pet friendly apartment with a beautiful view of the city and trees. The hosts are very friendly and responsive to all messages. I found it easier to drive my dog down the hillside to take walks in the beautiful Highland Avenue area where there are three lovely parks. Walking down the steep hillside is not easy. I hope to keep staying at this VRBO whenever I visit Birmingham. It’s a great apartment!
