Summary:
This charming historical home is part of a 6plex located in fantastic Midtown Mobile on Old Shell Rd. At this beautifully restored 1906 home, you’re right in the middle of the action. Mobile Infirmary is right across the street making this a popular spot with traveling nurses and families. Downtown Mobile is 10 mins away with all of the great history of this shipping city. We're 40 minutes away from the white sandy beaches of both Gulf Shores and Dauphin Island.

We hope you enjoy your stay!

The Space:
This is the biggest unit in the house. You will enter through the side where the key pad is but you also have access to the front door and to the main front porch. There is a fenced in back patio that is on a concrete slab with a grill and picnic table. The yard is not completely fenced but you are welcome to walk your dogs out there or let kids play.

The Neighborhood:
This house is located in a highly sought after historic district two miles from downtown Mobile known as “Old DauphinWay”. You will see neighbors walking their dogs and riding their bikes. String lights adorn the neighborhood at night! You can walk to a few restaurants and shops!

Getting Around:
This is a great neighborhood for walking and bike riding if you bring your own bikes. Uber and Lyft are available and scooters are available to rent all over the place downtown, which is just two miles away!

Other Things to Note:
Pets: No cats allowed! Dogs are allowed with a $75 fee per dog. There is a maximum of two dogs no larger than 75 pounds each. Dogs who are categorized as "dangerous" or "aggressive" according the ASPCA are not allowed. Please let us know if you're bringing your furry friend so we can add the appropriate pet fee, as the Airbnb website does not have a spot for us to add the fee.

Short stay for South Game

We came down for Thanksgiving weekend to watch our daughter in the JMB at the South game. The property was a short dive from Hancock Whitney Stadium. Property was in excellent condition, clean and neighborhood was great. Will definitely stay here again.

Good Time In Mobile

Overall, the place was solid for the price point.Its a solid place to stay for the price and the location. 2 min from downtown -- 20 min straight shot to South Alabama campus.It could use a little TLC - especially in the shower area.My other feedback would be to upgrade the couches to something more comfortable to sit on -- was just not great - the cushions slide off and sit low to the floor.Some noise from upstairs but it is an older home so not much can be done there.I would stay again for the same price for what i needed and what I got !

Updated and Modern historic home

The unit was super cute, very modernized and came stocked with anything we could've needed and then some. On our first night we had some drainage issues with the shower and our hosts were very prompt in sending a plumber out less than 12hrs later. Property was clean - the outside could use some updating but perfect for our needs. I still rated this a 5 star because the only complaint I have is the noise level - which is of no fault of the property manager. The floors and walls are paper thin and this being an old house, well you could hear just about everything your neighbors said and did.... I'm only mentioning it because it did detract from our enjoyment (though wouldn't prevent us from renting again).

We enjoyed our stay.

The location is very conveniently located to downtown. We enjoyed great restaurants and walking around these beautiful historical neighborhoods. The unit was very spacious and had everything one would need. So so much better than staying in a hotel room. Will most likely stay here again.

We rented this for 3 weeks during February and it was perfect for our group of 2 adults and 2 kids. The house had most things we needed and made it easy getting back and forth from downtown each night.

Vacationing in Mobile

The house was located in Old Mobile. The neighborhood and house were beautiful. The old homes and moss and fern-covered live oaks line the street, with branches arching over the road. There was some late night noisy traffic outside, maybe due to it being the weekend. The floors and light fixtures were very nice. The shower could have been cleaned better.

Our Sweet Short Stay

My husband and I loved staying at this sweet home! It was perfect for what we needed it for. This apartment was so beautiful ❤️ we were impressed with the spacious layout. Loved the tree lined streets in the area and ate at the local restaurants near by which were delicious! Never been to Mobile before, hope to come back!

Overall the unit was acceptable. All units had the numbers except the one I rented so that made it a little confusing but I was finally able to locate it after walking around the building and finally emailing the rental company. The ice maker in the refrigerator did not work. I would recommend darker drapes on the master bedroom windows, it is very bright and the outside spot light (which could not be controlled from the unit) shines in making the room very bright at night. I would also recommend hand soap in the bathroom so you don’t have to go to the kitchen to was with dish soap. The host was very accommodating when I requested my pet refund back since I decided not to bring my dog. With the minor changes mentioned I would rent again.

Dirty, and had to be cleaned again. Didn’t get check in info.

We couldn’t get in because we never got our check in instructions. Had to contact the manager about that. The people next to us got there and it was the same thing. The house was filthy, smelled like dope, full of black flies everywhere. Q-tips on the floor, chip in the bed, dirt and hair everywhere, wood chips on the couches, and a ROACH in the master bedroom. The comforter was still wet like they didn’t let it dry long enough. The bedroom with the bunk beds was HOT! We had to set a fan up in the living room to blow cold air in it the whole time. There was a big knife in the grass right by the entrance that anyone could have stepped on. Went to make coffee and the coffee pot still had coffee in it, it was never cleaned, and the coffee grinds were still in it, growing Mold!! I had to sanitize it before we could use it. The whole thing was a mess. I have never been so disappointed in a rental. I usually can let small things go but this was a disaster. Also, the walls are thin so sleep sucked because the people above us were running around like crazy so it sounded like a zoo so if you are wanting a quiet and peaceful place, this may not be it if you are a light sleeper. I was so disappointed because the place looked so cute in the pictures.
