We had a wonderful stay in this sweet little house. It had the most comfortable bed, the fluffiest towels and our hosts provided several toiletries, even a welcome candy treat. After 10 days of travel we were eager to do our laundry… so easy. We also enjoyed the porch swings in the evening. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Nesbert Vaval
I am from Saint Lucia, but went to college in the States and have lived in Selma with my wife since 2016. We now have two kids and have loved making Selma our home. I am a tennis coach at our local high school and in the community. I love to go on walks in our neighborhood with my family, drink coffee, and watch Survivor. We've recently started hosting and are so excited that we get to have a part in sharing Selma with people from all over.
Why they chose this property
Old Town is the largest historic district in Alabama. It is charming, has architectural appeal, and is filled with old oak trees and beautiful magnolia trees. The neighborhood's architecture styles include Greek Revival, Victorian, and Art Deco. We love how walkable our neighborhood is and enjoy sitting on our front porch.
