Michelle, thank you for your kindness. It was my pleasure to host you and wish you well. Take care.
It was perfect- a beautiful and comfortable apartment! I felt safe and had everything I needed. It was close to UAB, the airport,,and great restaurants. I truly enjoyed my stay!
My husband and I came for a short two-night stay in Birmingham, en route to home. Loved this convenient location. One of the best appointed properties in which I've ever stayed. Is there anything the owner didn't think of?! Loved it!
This property was nothing short of amazing! The location was a central and was so close to eateries and various venues. Would definitely recommend and would again!! Melissa's property is a hidden g

Awww! Thank you Velma…so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you choosing Morris Ave Gem. Please come back anytime.
This city condo was in a very convenient location with many restaurants within walking distance. Nice parking lot right outside the door. Felt very safe. Was very nice inside the condo with great bed / furniture / appliances. Communication with property manager was very easy, especially when we forgot one of our pillows and she made it easy to run by and pick it up a few days later!
This property was clean and had all necessities to keep us beyond comfortable for our weekend stay. Melissa was a gracious host and responded promptly to all of my questions. It was a perfect location near Sloss Furnaces. 5 thumbs up!

Thank you Caring! Great guest who communicated well and left the space is very good condition. Definitely welcome back anytime.
I chose this location for myself and my cousin (38F and 40F) to stay in a good spot downtown Birmingham so we could be centrally located to a comedy show at the Alabama Theatre. The theatre was a 13 min walk and we got there safely. After the show we were able to walk to multiple local restaurants and bars that were fantastic! The parking in the lot behind the space was very clean, safe and affordable. The pictures are super accurate and the space showcases the original beams, exposed brick, and beauty of the building. The train truly is not a disturbance as the horn doesn’t blow, but the sound machine is a great option on hand.
Highly recommend Pizza Grace (Less than a block away on the same street) and East West (2nd avenue about 2 blocks away). There were several other options we didn’t get to try due to the hour wait for dinner.
Phenomenal host and experience! We hope to get to stay there again.
