Quiet Setting
Quiet, 1 BR, 1-1/2 bath, with roll away mattress and pull out couch for extra sleeping if needed. Located in a quiet, forested neighborhood, apartment community, near major highways. Very clean. Host is very communicative. We visited our son at UA, and we found the drive to be very doable.

Stocked kitchen and comfortable beds and family room. The host was very friendly and responded quickly to questions. We will definitely stay here again should baseball bring us back to Hoover!

This home delivered even more than we could have expected! The place looked like a model home. Furnishings were both beautiful and comfortable. It was like a home away from home in all areas.

Niçe and comfortably condo
We came over from UK for a 3 wk stay to visit our Son which was very convenient for us as his apartment was close by. Communication was good between Karin and ourselves she was very responsive from the start to the finish of our stay. Due to our later flight Karin kindly allowed a later check out which was very helpful. The property was lovely and clean and comfortable and had all we needed. We were however disappointed with some of the listings on the virbo app regarding out door facilities which were not infact available. Karin was quick to apologise and compensate us which we appreciated. Karin has now removed those facilities from the app. All in all our trip was very enjoyable and we would use this condo again. Thank you Karin
