The house was well located and quiet. It was just as pictured in the listing. Many of the linens had a noticeable scent. Also when we arrived the house smelled strongly of cleaning products.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 May 2026
I remembered you ask about wash detergent - we must have used dryer sheets to create a scent. Your arrival was the same day as someone checking out. The cleaning girls had just left when you arrived. I've never had a subpar review for being "too clean" If you stay again, remind me of allergies and sensitivities

An Alabama native who has lived in Houston and Miami so I appreciate the Big feel of a smaller town like Birmingham! So much to do here! We have a fabulous variety: Broadway series, hiking, olympians train here for biking, Robert Trent Jones golf trail plus dozens of other courses. Beautiful Lakes for fishing and water sports. Our Chef's have won the prestigious James Bearden award! Music festivals, dog parks, sports and civil rights museums... I could go on and on! If you are interested in something, please ask me! I can even hook you up with Goat Yoga (photo above)
