Birmingham’s downtown has gone through quite the revitalization in the last decade or so. There’s still a lot of potential for growth but Birmingham has some world class restaurants, important history and cool opportunities for urban exploring, as well as some beautiful nature not far from the city! You’ll be in the heart of it all staying at Mercantile on Morris! The rotary trail runs from Railroad Park to Avondale and is a fun way to explore the city on bikes or by foot. The Civil Rights Institute, Birmingham Museum of Art and many restaurants, breweries and bars are also just a short distance from the condo.

Depending on where you’re heading during the day, you may or may not need a car. Public transportation in Birmingham isn’t the best but we do have buses that run downtown, Uber and Lyft are easy to use and scooters and bikes are available for rent all around downtown. Parking is either street parking or parking in a gated lot behind the building which costs $4/day.

Parking is usually very easy- we’ll send you photos and detailed instructions the morning of your stay! There is street parking on both sides of the building on 1st Ave N and Morris Avenue, as well as on 23rd St. There are some metered and some unmetered spots. Unmetered spots are always free and the metered spots are free nights after 5pm and weekends. There is also a parking lot with a gated arm behind the building off of Morris with parking for $8/day.
