Liked: Cleanliness
Everything was as described and very clean. All instructions were clear. The kitchen and linen closet in the hall bath were well stocked, beds comfortable and there were plenty of outlets, closet space and hangers. Main TV and remote worked well (didn’t use the one in the bedroom with an en-suite). No maintenance issues at all. Location is VERY central, though houses are close together, so we kept most blinds/curtains closed at night. Some road noise at night on the street the house faces (it’s on a corner), but nothing our sound machine didn’t help filter out.

Perfect location

The house was well kept and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Was within 20 min of the 3main locations we had to travel. Easy on and off interstate and close to Homewood where there are excellent places to eat and interesting shops. Would recommend.

Visiting Family in Birmingham Area

The property was as listed and was a clean, really nice house in a location central to the Birmingham area. The only issue was that the host did not cross-check our booking with another made on a different platform, and the property was double-booked for the first night of our stay. Upon contacting the host, she quickly apologized and resolved the issue. Other than that, it was a delightful stay for our family of 4 (including 2 adult children), and I would recommend this property to anyone traveling to Birmingham.

Perfect place for families wanting to expect Birmingham in a safe neighborhood

Location was outstanding! Everything is within a 2-10 minute drive from this home. Several yummy places to eat within 2 blocks. This is great for families. We never felt unsafe in the home or neighborhood. The home was very clean and welcoming. We had a 1 yr old , 3 teenagers, and 3 adults and I worried about the size of the home in the pictures, however, we fit comfortably in this home. The pictures of the bedroom with 2 beds appear to be twin size, that is not the case. They are full or queen. Teenage boys fit perfectly. I love that they donate soaps and health products to community nonprofits if you leave them. We bought some extra items to share with the community. What a great idea! We would most definitely stay here again.

UAB Graduation

Perfect location for the UAB graduation. We rented a car, however walked a fair amount as well. Believe a car is a must. Kitchen appeared to be sufficiently stocked, however we didn't cook any meals. House size was perfect. Spent majority of time in the LR/BR. LR furniture is uncomfortable. Television basically useless, so purchased an antenna (less than $30) at Walmart to watch local stations. Master bathroom really small but workable for short period. Guest bath was very sufficient. Overall, enjoyed the house and our stay in Birmingham. Thank you.

Wonderful place to stay

The house is cozy, located near downtown, hospitals, 5 points, and less than 15 minutes from airport. The house allowed for family to gather in one location rather than separate hotel rooms and be able to really enjoy each other’s company. Only great things to say about this house and the host Suzy. Made for an enjoyable weekend for all!

Wonderful!

Five Points South is a comfortable, clean, cutely decorated home in a great location. We came for a family wedding, and were able to take quick Uber rides to every venue, restaurant and attraction that wanted to visit. Check in was easy and we had everything we needed (we did not cook anything, but the kitchen seemed to have needed supplies for that). We went to the local market and got coffee/snacks, and the nearby Dreamland BBQ was great! My mother has trouble getting around, and there are a number of steps leading to the front door, but we were able to go through the back entrance without any problems! Great stay!

A Christmas Welcome

The house was cozy and warm during very cold (down to 11 degrees) days and nights. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the kitchen served our needs. Our host even had set up a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations since we were there on Christmas Eve and Day. We appreciate her thoughtfulness.
