Quaint and lovely stay

Just as advertised. We had a wonderful stay. My husband and I and our two kids ages 15 & 17. We came for a concert at the new Coca Cola Amphitheater. We enjoyed walking around downtown and exploring. Kitchen had everything we needed for meals and the special touches like bottled water and coffee that was provided were top notch. Would definitely stay here again.

Clean, good location, easy communication

We were only here for a short time, and wished we would have more time exploring the surrounding area. What we did encounter was a very well kept condo that provided us with all we needed. My favorite part was sitting in the balcony overlooking the street below.

Bustle of Birmingham

Staying downtown is a delight. There are lots of things to see and do. Alabama Peanut Co, McWayne Center 3D theater and Reed Books for anyone wanting a good read and an delightful conversation- to name a few. This property also offers good dining with in 1-2 blocks right out side the door. With the convenience of parking around the corner its enjoyable to get into the bustle of Birmingham.

So Happy We Found This Place

This loft is so comfortable, from the leather sofas to the nice beds. It was also very clean, which is important to me. Both BRs had spacious closets and the MBR closet was the coolest ever, the former elevator for the building. The owner responded promptly to any questions and was very nice to deal with. We will be back!

Loft in Downtown Birmingham

Perfect location for what we needed. Parking was close and convenient, check in was easy and the Loft was large for 2 adults. Enjoyed having a full kitchen and washer/dryer available. Only downside was that downtown was largely deserted on Sunday. Had to drive a bit to find things to do. Really enjoyed this space and I’d recommend it if you are looking for something downtown with character.

Relaxing weekend

This upscale loft is very clean and had everything we needed for a fun weekend in downtown Birmingham. The beds are so comfortable! The kitchen has nice appliances and plenty of supplies. We didn't cook but easily could have. There is a great view of 20th Street out the wall of floor to ceiling windows. The bathrooms had more than enough fluffy towels and washcloths. Everything is new and it has a cool retro vibe. The location is excellent! We walked all over the historic area and across the bridge to the Magic City Rotary Trail. There are many upscale restaurants and themed bars nearby. We really enjoyed the stay! Note: there are two flights of stairs inside the building to the apt doorway so plan accordingly. Still worth it!

Noise level from motercycles and hip hop music was disturbug during the night. Windows need to be double glazed.Shower and tub very slippery. One person fell and hurt his knee. Handicap grab bars would have helped.Parking lot was great and very convenient. Kitchen was well stocked with equipted.

Beautiful place - interesting architecture

Beautiful place with interesting architectural updates such as the old elevator repurposed as a walk in closet in the master bedroom. Very well stocked with everything you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms. Pretty paintings and local artists’ work. The reason for the 4 star rating on description was the stairs. They are steep and there are a lot of them. A handicapped person would not be able to access the unit. I have a bad hip and it was very difficult for me to climb them. The stairwell is well lit and there is a good railing but it was quite a shock when we entered from the street. To be fair when I asked the owner if there was an elevator he said no and we rented it anyway. Regarding the owner, Joey was great. Good communication and super friendly. Nice binder with tons of information about Birmingham. I would just make it very clear upfront that this unit is for able-bodied clients only. We don’t regret staying here and again, it’s truly a stylish, comfortable place. Thanks, Joey.

Great location, great amenities, and comfortable

I'll just start this review by saying I have stayed in alot of VRBOs and other short-term rentals, and this may have been the best rental I have stayed in. Location was great...right downtown, near amazing restaurants, and within walking distance of B'ham's rail trail. I ran every morning from the apartment to the rail trail. The apartment is very clean and comfortable...in particular the bed and bed pillows. The apartment has many cool features (e.g., old elevator that is now a closet), soaker tub, and great windows facing the street. We had the windows open every day to bring in the breeze. Parking was easy and close. Don't hesitate to rent this place, you'll love it. Keep in mind that this is downtown B'ham, so like many downtowns, it's a bit loud. But next time I visit B'ham, I would hope this place is available to rent again.

High School Reunion

Four of us planned to travel to B'ham for our 50th High School Reunion. Our original plans fell through at the last minute and we found the loft just a few days before arriving. We really lucked out! The loft was more than we expected and Joey was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!!!!
