Shanna is an excellent host! We enjoyed our stay at Big Al’s Bungalow. It was absolutely perfect for what my family needed. One highlight from the weekend was preparing a family meal together in the kitchen. We didn’t want for anything in the fully stocked kitchen. The house is located in a sweet, quiet neighborhood, yet it’s very convenient to downtown. Absolutely enjoyed everything about our stay!

We are UGA fans and this was our first time to Tuscaloosa. This house was darling!! The hosts were awesome and made it so easy to get in and out. It was a short Uber ride (less than 10 minutes) to all of the restaurants and campus and stadium. Bathrooms were super cute with nice living rooms to all hang out and watch the other games!! We lost the game, but the house was a comfy way to forget about it for a few minutes….would absolutely recommend!!! - Christine (a sad Dawg fan)
