-ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD (Please Read Before Booking)
- The home is located in Bessemer, an older residential neighborhood in southwest of downtown Birmingham. The area became a key producer of railroad cars, pipe and steel throughout the late 19th and early 20th century.
- Like many historic working-class neighborhoods, parts of the area show signs of age and redevelopment, and it is not a tourist or entertainment district. Guests should not expect walkable restaurants, nightlife, or a resort-style neighborhood environment
- Most guests choose this property because it offers: a clean, renovated interior, affordable pricing compared with hotels, quick access to downtown and major highways, and a private fenced yard
- Some surrounding homes may appear older or less maintained than homes in newer suburbs.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire property via keyless entry

5/5 Stars – Fantastic Stay! We had a wonderful stay. The space was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and exactly as pictured. The location was perfect—quiet yet close to great restaurants. Communication with the host was great from start to finish, with lightning-fast responses and crystal-clear check-in instructions. Highly recommended! We would love to stay here again

The stay was fine, but definitely needed more water pressure and a box spring in the guess room!

This property is as described but not in a great area of town. We were willing to overlook that but the neighbors were drinking and playing loud music all night through the late morning on both Friday and Saturday into Sunday. The entire property is gated, yet someone found a way to get through and walk around the yard. It was really weird. The house itself was very nice despite the location and neighbors.
