I’ve been visiting Tuscaloosa a few times a year since 2018 to visit my kids in school. This is by far the best place I have ever stayed! It is an adorable old house that has been beautifully updated. Everything is top notch . . . High end linens and furnishings, comfortable king beds, beautiful bathrooms, big stocked kitchen with adorable coffee bar. The front and back porches are delightful. We walked to dinner, shops, bakery, and Mark’s mart. The host is super kind and helpful when needed. The home is on a busy road so you do hear traffic, but there are wonderful noise machines in each bedroom. I did not hear the traffic at all with those noise machines on when I went to bed. We visited over an away football game weekend. The police escorted football team drove right by the house after the team flew home . . . A great surprise! Roll Tide!
