We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We especially appreciated the location of the home. It was a short driving distance to a number of places to eat and sights (Barber Museum & Coca Cola Concert). Both my two sons and wife also enjoyed the character/style of the home.

Police & Fire games

We came up for the games. The place was clean. We enjoyed the spacious accommodations. There was 7 adults staying in the house and it was a lot of space for us. If you don’t like old houses, this isn’t place for you. That’s not us!! Loved it.

Honest Feedback

The property was not but not quite as pictured. I think the furniture in the living area needs to be replaced. Also, pay close attention to the bathrooms. There is only one full bath upstairs and one downstairs which can be tricky for three couples and a little misleading when there are "4 rooms".

Response from VrboOwner on 17 June 2024
Thank you for the review. I am sorry you felt it wasn't as pictured. We did put a new table to fit the historic feel of the home. The upstairs 2nd bathroom is intended to be a full bath with a handle for the shower portion. I am sorry for any confusion, we never want to mislead anyone. We aim to be the best host we can.

About the host

Hosted by Peter brasovan

Host profile image
My wife and I first owned a historic home in Indiana. After relocating to B'ham to be closer to family, we knew we wanted to help bring another historic home back to life. We've done just that with this beautiful 1930's home. We nicknamed it Harper Lee. With original hardwood throughout and all the original architecture in tact, this home brings history to the modern day.
