UAB APT. w. 5 min a piedi per shopping e pranzo

Property was just as described, helpful owner, very close to 5 points area (restaurants), 15 minute or less drive from convention center.

Bare in mind that this was only our second experience with HomeAway, and we were not happy before our arrival since the race we had come to town to run a race that was postponed due to weather so we thought we were going to spend the whole time watching TV since it was non-refundable. As it turned out, we have some nice weather.

Parking on street wasn't a problem. It's an old building that could use some sprucing up, but that apartment was clean with lots of character. It was a challenge to open the lockbox on the door because of the dark hallway and woodwork. I loved the cats pictures on the wall, and the bed was quite comfortable, but the apartment didn't get very dark at night. With the streetlights and lack of curtains on all the windows it was quite bright. The building itself seemed to be quiet, but there was quite a bit of street noise and creaky floor to keep me awake. The bathroom was an experience. There's not much room for anything and we had to use the toilet sitting sideways because we couldn't fit between the commode and the tub. The location was fair. There's a few eateries close by with a few others that are walkable as well as Railroad Park. Beware of that hill by Quinlan Castle, it's a workout. lol

I didn’t get to explore the area around the apartment, because we were doing college registration for my daughter. However, the inside looks exactly as pictured and is very clean. I enjoyed my stay, but didn’t cook or watch tv- so hard to comment on those.

Super clean and accessible and close to most attractions in Birmingham.
