Unfortunately this property is not as pictured. Sofa is stained, bathroom very dirty, smells like moth balls. We arrived and had to leave to go get a hotel. We had not received check in instructions, so the homeowner texted it after a few attempts at communication.

I had the most peaceful night of sleep. The neighborhood felt safe, warm, and inviting. I loved the back yard, and the picture window at the dining table. The home was equipped with all appliances that I needed, and then some. The provided coffee was perfect to start off my morning. Thank you for everything!

Perfect for a family with 1 toddler and a dog

We stayed overnight as a midway stop to our final destination and it was perfect. Plenty of room in the backyard for our dog to roam around. A crib and a few toys that our toddler enjoyed. Clean house with necessities provided (trash bags, towels, laundry detergent, etc). Quiet neighborhood. Small issue getting into the house at first but I don’t know if that was user error or a technical issue. They were quick to respond to this issue. We’d stay here again.

Cute house/Decent stay

House is in a great location and quaint. It served our purpose of being in town for a week for a baseball tournament. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of some things in the house. For example, the kitchen left things to be desired: coffee maker was filthy and had a dirty filter left in it, a baking sheet had food baked on it and had not been cleaned, and the previous guests’ linens were left in the dryer for me to deal with as most items had not been restocked in the bathroom (towels, toilet paper). Overall, our stay was good, though, and the host was very responsive.

UAB Visit

We came to Birmingham for a hospital visit at UAB. The home was perfect, quiet, and just enough space for 4 adults and 1 infant. There were no pot holders for taking things out of the oven and there was a used washcloth handing on the shower from the previous guest, but it was overall a great stay. Definitely would consider this home again if it’s available!

Awesome stay!

The Butterfly House is a beautiful home that is well appointed with lots of little details that make you smile. We loved our stay and enjoyed the proximity to the Avondale entertainment district. Great too to have off street parking and a super large back yard for the pooch… Will be back for sure…

Adorable and Cozy Home

my wife and I stayed here for a night when we were on a long trip and needed a break. The overall house was very nice and very warm. Spacious with three bedrooms and a huge yard for dogs to run if you’re traveling with Dogs. Would return for sure. The people were also very nice that owned it and we’re very in communication with us the whole time. Overall would return five stars.

Great place

We needed a temporary place to stay while we had work done on our house. This place was perfect. It had all of the amenities we needed and we felt right at home. We would stay again in the future should the need arise and would recommend to anyone needing a pet-friendly house with off street parking in a convenient location.

Cute, Affordable Spot in Birmingham

We had a nice stay at Britt and George's place. The rate was very affordable. The house is a cute 1950s bungalow with 3 beds and 1 bathroom. We traveled with 2 kids and the space worked perfectly for us. There was a crib which we utilized along with multiple toys for our kids. The fenced in backyard which was great for our kids to run around. The neighborhood was very quiet at night. We had a snafu with checkin which was quickly remedied. Hosts are much quicker to respond over text rather than app. Thanks for a great stay!
