About this property
The Gatsby - a 1920s Speakeasy abode in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa!
Welcome to The Gatsby!
Take a step back into time, and stay in our 1920s Art Deco speakeasy-themed loft. The Prohibition Era was such an interesting time in our history, and we have tried to capture this snapshot in time at The Gatsby. Upon arrival, you must ascend 27 stairs (there is no elevator).
The Location:
When staying at The Gatsby, you will find yourself in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa overlooking the magnificent and bustling University Blvd and Greensboro Ave. Intersection. Walk to bars, restaurants, convenience stores, shopping, and more! Just 1 mile from Bryant Denny stadium!
Sleeping & Bathrooms:
There are 2 King Beds & 1 Twin futon and 2 full bathrooms. The base pricing is set at 4 people, but the unit can sleep up to 8. Read details on how it can sleep 8. The rooms at The Gatsby are smaller scale & historic rooms.
Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2 King Bed with en-suite bathroom
Game Room Area: Futon with full bath across from it.
Optional Beds: 1 Sectional Sofa and 2 conversational sofas (meant for people under 5'2")
The Space and Amenities:
- Poker Table
- Board Games
- Darts
Outdoor Fun:
There is a covered, screened-in porch with comfortable seating, ceiling fan, TV, fire-pit and more! This space overlooks Temerson Square, so you will be privy to lots of activity and marvelous people watching.
Parking:
There is no designated parking, as you are in a loft space in Downtown, facing University Blvd. After 5PM, you are able to park anywhere on University Blvd, but during the day, you will get towed after 2 hrs. You are nearby to a public parking garage that you are able to utilize, or we recommend an Uber/Lyft. Once you arrive, you should not need a car as you are walking distance to everything, or could get a golf cart shuttle.
*Please Read Prior to Booking:
*There are exterior security cameras located at the front and back of the property. These devices may not be tampered with, covered, or unplugged by guests.*
*All reservations made within 2 weeks of date of arrival are subject to require in person Government Issued ID verification.*
*If your selected property offers the use of (trundle beds, upper bunks of bunk beds, roll-aways, futons, or flip sofas) these beds will not be made up in advance. Linens are provided and should be stored with these beds.*
*Be sure to enter the correct number of people to receive an accurate quote/price. Pricing is set for 4 people but the house is able to sleep up to 8.*
*Please be aware that upon booking, you will be required to sign the Bama Vacation Rentals Rules forms and photo ID verification directly with our property management company texting system called AKIA.*
*For stays that are longer than 2 weeks, please be aware that you will be charged an additional cleaning fee. All properties are required to be cleaned and inspected every other week.*
