The "Welcome to T-Town" home is a perfect place to stay on any visit to Tuscaloosa. Approx a 15 minute drive to downtown Tuscaloosa it was easy to run into town for activities and equally easy to uber. The home is immaculate and very clean. Phil, our host was super helpful and communicative. We had tons of space for our two grown children, their significant others and our good friend from CO to enjoy the weekend together. I highly recommend this VRBO!

Gameday Weekend

Stayed here for a gameday weekend, reuniting with our college friends. We had 7 adults and 2 infants and all had plenty of room to have our own space. The house was exceptionally clean and the location was perfect to be close enough to campus without having to stay in the middle of the crowds. We have stayed in many rentals for gameday weekends throughout the years and everyone remarked this was their favorite so far.

About the host

Hosted by Philip Gruwell

Host profile image
Grew up in Iowa, moved to Alabama and never looked back. I love living close to the University and following Alabama sports.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is perfectly situated just 2 minutes off a major interstate on the Birmingham side of T'town. Exit 77 while on I-20. It feels like you're out in the country but really not cause it's only a 15 minute drive to downtown and the campus of the University of Alabama.

What makes this property unique

My home is truly your home away from home. I live here ,nothing is "staged".
