It’s designed for value, privacy, and convenient driving access rather than a resort or entertainment-district setting. The home is smoke-free, pet-friendly (fee applies), and set up for longer stays with practical, home-style amenities.
Bedrooms & Layout
This 3-bedroom home sleeps a group with 2 queen bedrooms plus a third bedroom with a twin/full bunk bed, and a full sleeper sofa in the living room. Inside, guests have Smart TVs in the living room and bedrooms, a laptop-friendly workspace, and keyless entry. The property is single-story, with 2 steps required to enter.
Kitchen & In-home Amenities
A full kitchen supports self-catering with a refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker, dishware/flatware, and cooking basics. In-unit laundry (washer) and essentials like heating/central A/C, hangers, linens/towels, and an iron/ironing board are provided. Connectivity and entertainment are covered with free Wi‑Fi and cable/Smart TV options.
Outdoor Space & Parking
Outdoor features include a private fenced yard and an outdoor grill, plus a covered porch with patio seating and a swing. Parking is free, with street parking for about 2 vehicles and additional space available in the backyard. Exterior security cameras face outdoor entry/yard areas, and the home also has CO/fire sensors and a SimpliSafe security system (sensors only; no interior audio/video recording).
Location & Nearby Access
Downtown Birmingham attractions (about 7 miles) include the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, McWane Science Center, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and Railroad Park, plus the BJCC for events. For transit connections, several bus stops are within roughly 300–820 meters (including 7th Ave & Erie St and 10th Ave & Buffalo St). Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is about 12 miles (16.4 km) away, and nearby dining options include Fairfield Seafood Restaurant (about 1.0 km) and additional restaurants a few miles out.
Best for
This home is best for travelers who want a renovated, affordable “home base” with quick driving access to downtown Birmingham (about 7 miles) rather than a tourist-district address. It particularly suits families and small groups who will use the full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and multiple sleeping setups (including a bunk bed and sleeper sofa). It’s also a strong fit for pet owners thanks to the fenced yard and pet-friendly policy (fee applies; 2 pets max).
Travel tips
Plan to get around by car: the neighborhood is residential and not known for walkable nightlife or dense dining options, even though downtown is a straightforward drive. If you prefer public transit, multiple bus stops are within a short walk (roughly 300–820 m). For arrivals, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is about 12 miles away.
