Property was in a beautiful area and very clean. Karin responded to messages quickly. Only complaint was no hair dryer. I’m used to there being one, but I guess this is not to be expected.

The space was just as pictured. We stayed for 4 nights and were very comfortable. It’s the perfect size for a couple with 1.5 bathrooms and a good sized bedroom and living room. The actual complex that the condo is in was very quiet. No loud traffic or parties or disturbances of any kind. There were sidewalks bordering grassy areas for walking our dog. Locally, we visited a few state parks and preserves for hiking and outdoor activity. Definitely check out the Birmingham Botanical Gardens for a beautiful afternoon. The complex is located just a few minutes from main highways and the interstate, so getting around the area was very easy.
