2BR Great for Mid/Long Stays - King Bed/Pool/Gym/Family Friendly
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
This 2-bedroom rental sits in Homewood, a quiet, tree-lined residential neighborhood in the Birmingham, Alabama area, positioned as a peaceful base for mid- to long-term stays. The home pairs a King-size memory foam bed with practical, everyday comforts, offering guests a settled, apartment-style alternative to a traditional hotel room. Contactless self check-in and free parking add convenience for arrivals at any hour.
Rooms & Comfort
The bedroom is built around a luxury memory foam king bed, with nightstands and reading lamps, a closet with hangers and shelves, a work desk, and an iron and ironing board for longer stays. The open, sun-filled living room offers a comfortable sofa, a 50-inch Smart TV, a coffee table, and reading lamps for unwinding after a day out. The full bathroom includes both a shower and bathtub, with towels, hair dryer, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided.
Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen is stocked for real cooking, with a stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, pots, pans, cooking utensils, a knife set and cutting board, and pantry basics like salt, pepper, and cooking oil. A K-Cup coffee maker and tea kettle come with complimentary coffee, decaf, creamer, sugar, and tea, and a dining table rounds out the space for everyday meals.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to a community pool (seasonal, subject to community rules and designated hours) and a fitness center, along with air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, and a smoke-free interior throughout. These extras make the property well suited to guests planning to settle in for several days or weeks rather than a single overnight.
Location
Homewood offers a calm, greenery-surrounded setting just minutes from downtown Birmingham, UAB, Samford University, several major hospitals, and local restaurants and shopping. Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is roughly 15-20 minutes away by car (about 8.9 miles), making the location workable for both business trips and visits to nearby universities or medical centers.
Best for
This property suits business travelers, medical visitors, and university-affiliated guests on mid- to long-term stays, given its proximity to UAB, Samford University, and multiple hospitals, plus a work desk and fast Wi-Fi. It also works well for families or small groups needing more space than a hotel room, thanks to the 2-bedroom layout, full kitchen, and on-site pool and fitness center.
Travel tips
Plan on a roughly 15-20 minute drive (about 8.9 miles) to and from Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, and expect to need a car since the home is in a residential neighborhood. Because pool access is seasonal and limited to designated hours, check current community rules before planning a swim, and keep noise down in the evenings out of respect for neighbors in this residential community.
