Property wasn’t far from the airport which was a plus, especially since we had a late flight. Check in was easy as well. From the pictures I thought we were closer to top golf and the stadium than we were but that didn’t take away from the convenience. I would stay again if I ever came back to Birmingham. Thank you Nina.

The house was filled with dead bugs and the shower had ants crawling out of it. We had to leave and get a hotel. Do not recommend. House is also very old.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug 2026
We are sorry to hear this guest was disappointed with her stay. Unfortunately, we were not contacted during the reservation, so we were not given the opportunity to address or resolve her concerns before she chose to leave. After her departure, both I and my housekeeper inspected the property. Our inspection did not support the claim that the home was “filled with dead bugs.” As with any home in the South, an occasional insect can enter during periods of extreme heat or heavy rain despite regular cleaning and preventative pest control. However if ir when they do they expire. This guest was in the home during over 95 degree heat and the home was maintained at under 72 degrees. Our home is accurately advertised as a historic home in Historic Norwood, and many guests specifically choose it for its character and charm. We remain committed to providing a clean, comfortable home and responsive service to every guest.

Check in was actually really bad. Communication up to that afternoon was great but then something happened. After customer service got involved to get check in instructions all was well. A few bugs wanted to make entry but to be expected with the rain and host was very quick to offer remedies. She gave lists of places to see snd eat. Besides that first few hours not able to get in, everything else was great! Location is a bit sketchy with beautiful remodeled homes next door to homes that are boarded up and vacant. Heard from neighbors homes re being bought and renovated to support the tourism that is expected with the new arena in the area.

A wonderful stay in Birmingham! Everything inside the house was exactly as expected — updated amenities, powerful HVAC, hot water, and even complimentary snacks. Our only snag was that a next-door neighbor has a very loud dog chained up outside who barks at just about everything he sees, so we didn’t kick it on the porch like I was hoping.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jul 2025
Hi Gloria. Thank you for the review. To state the home is 20 minutes from any of the listed attractions is untrue. I walk the area often. However I do understand sometime people think walkable means at your doorstep. If it’s less than a 5 minute Uber ride it’s definately walkable. As for the dogs. The dogs mentioned belong to the neighboring home and are fenced in at the very back of the property. They aren’t roaming free nor do they impede and activities of the home or property. I implore anyone renting the home to read all the reviews and look at the map of the home relative to the attractions. Other than the Westin or Sheraton Hotel there are no other properties closer than Finer Rental. Actually the Sheraton is a longer walk to the new Coca Cola amphitheater and uphill.

Unfortunately the dogs next door barked until 3 in the morning and my girls were awoken by 4 gunshots. I inquired as to the safety of the neighborhood and I was told that there were white people nearby even though that was not a concern or anything I brought up. While I appreciate the proximity to TopGolf, we ended up leaving a day early because we didn’t feel comfortable and we didn’t get much sleep the night before. Safety was definitely a major factor
