Great location; cool house
Overall a success. This is a beautiful old historic home with lots of cool features. It was great for our usage - business associates in the Birmingham area for the Porsche Driving Experience. I would say it would be great for families and kids too. The rental process was great and convenient.

The house is massive and the bathrooms were renovated. The only thing I’d change is adding locks to the bedroom doors. Would stay here again if I ever need a 6 bedroom house in Birmingham, Alabama.

Plenty of room.
We gathered for a family get together after Christmas. Wonderful facility although the oven was dirty and smoked up the house on pre- heat. We turned it off and cleaned it so we could heat up dinner. And there were no kitchen towels or wash rags or hot pads for the oven. My daughter lives close so she brought what we needed. Otherwise it was just perfect for our family!!!

The mansion is huge. Truly 6 bedrooms. The exercise room is off one bedroom. The Galaga game is in the downstairs bedroom. The pool table is not level but the grandkids loved playing pool. The kitchen is very nice. Huge pantry. We slept well in beds. Games in basement are great. One of the most truthful and accurate listing I’ve encountered.

Pros and Cons
Pros: location, charming historic structure, uniqueness of layout of home, window views, original hardwoods and structure, close to police station, lots of meal choices, quiet neighbors and larger back yard area. Cons: older home so drafty/insulation issues as expected, living room couch, dusty, DIY remodel in areas/some areas need repair, no hot showers/baths - water temp needed increased, refrigerator did not keep a cold temp for items and property needs better security such as deadbolts/locking doors to feel more ease for guests. All in all, it was a positive experience and I would recommend the property.

Really Neat over 100 year old Mansion in Five Points
Thank you for allowing us to rent your home for a family wedding in Birmingham. The location was perfect to get everywhere and so close to The Club and The Vulcan. We loved the tall ceilings, beautiful architecture and details in this older home. The speakeasy was cool, and home has lots of space for all the family. Lots of little conversation spots, and the teens loved the pool table and games in the basement. Such a fun time! Thank you!
