Our family of four (12 and 7-yr-old) were in town for a long weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The kids had fun exploring the nooks and crannies or "secret passages" of this brownstone, decorated mid-century mod. Like any good old building, it has some quirks - but a musty aroma and gnat problem were quibbles in comparison to the beautiful construction, natural light, comfortable furniture and central location to the sights and attractions of B'ham. The owner was responsive and helpful. The steep driveway and parking situation are a bit sketchy, but only because of the way the neighbors' vehicles were parked in the parking area. It makes the unit's corner parking space difficult to get in/out if you are driving anything larger than a sedan. And speaking of the neighbors - they are youngsters and being that this is a college town, let's just say they were taking full advantage of their Saturday night. ;-) The music finally stopped thudding around midnight. Something to consider if you are noise-sensitive.
Overall, we we were pleased and would recommend/stay again.
