It was a lovely place with a well-supplied kitchen. The extra bathroom was handy so that spouse and I had one and our son had his own. Location in surrounding woods was nice.

Nice Clean apartment
The property description is very accurate. It is a nice clean little place to stay. The property manager was very quick and helpful to answer any questions I had. My only complaint would be not being able to use a Discover card to pay for the booking. Other than that it is a great place to stay.

Perfect for My Purposes
I was only in town for less than 72 hours and needed a place that accepted dogs, convenient to my son and his family in Vestavia Hills. This really filled the bill. My only issue was my own ignorance of not being tech-savvy on operating a live stream TV (cable is my friend!). But I was actually in the condo for just a relatively short amount of time, so this wasn't a huge issue (and likely no issue for most folks!). Everything I needed was there, and the layout and amenities were at my fingertips. The condo was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure . . . those were my three most important features! I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others. Very helpful host, too! Thanks much!

Quiet Setting
Quiet, 1 BR, 1-1/2 bath, with roll away mattress and pull out couch for extra sleeping if needed. Located in a quiet, forested neighborhood, apartment community, near major highways. Very clean. Host is very communicative. We visited our son at UA, and we found the drive to be very doable.
