We were in town for an Alabama Gymnastics Meet and this VRBO was a very nice and comfortable place to stay and the location was close to everything. The management was very attentive and kind!
Great place. Bright and clean. Would absolutely stay again.

Exactly as advertised, very nice and accommodating. the lay out of the property is nice and well appointed. Price for football weekends is high, even though it is in range with other comparable properties.
This property was wonderful and the hosts were amazing to work with! We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely stay there again if we’re back in the area!
The condo was convenient to everywhere. And Bama Rentals was very responsive to our questions

Graduation Weekend
The apartment was clean and comfortable but extremely overpriced. They are located next to a railroad crossing so you hear the train and the blaring horn all night. I also experienced a fire alarm test that no on warned me about. I’ve stayed at brand new condos with better locations for the same price.

Reviewer Comments:
I loved the design of the condo. Everything was thoughtfully laid was clean. The only issue we had was one otoilet would run for 30 minutes or better after each flush. We called maintenance but it never really got fixed. Thankfully we had other bathrooms. Location is great except for the train that runs and shakes the condo every other hour.
