Such a wonderful place!
This place was one of the BEST places I have stayed. Such charm and simplicity of the little bungalow the neighborhood was off the main path with little noise from the road even though it is in the corner. Close enough to walk downtown for a meal and we felt safe doing so. I will be looking to stay here in the future if it is available. Appreciate the hospitality!

Cold as can be
Really nice house very old but could not get a hold of the host we had no heat it was 46 outside 60° inside. The bed had no sheets no extra coverings we froze. We ended up, leaving at five in the morning. Could not get a hold of the host.

Super Cute & Great Host
We had a great time staying at this adorable cottage. The host was very nice and easy to get a hold of if we had any questions. This property is conveniently located to the Legacy Museum and also close to several restaurants. There is a great park right across the street which we definitely made use of as well. I would certainly stay here again.

dissapointed
I understand that sometimes things don’t go according to plan, but the lack of communication was upsetting . Check in was at 4pm and the door code was supposed to be sent at 3. I reached out after 4 because I had not received anything (I’m glad I did bc I doubt anything would have been relayed to us until we were at the property) and when I messaged they said that we had to book something else due to cleaning/ plumbing issues etc…. why was I not notified sooner? What if I had been outside?? They did nothing for me. Did not answer calls. It was a stressful situation and overall they were not helpful.

Great place
Some of the reviews had suggested the area was sketchy, so we were hoping things would be OK. Fortunately, they absolutely were. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the location. It's a 5-min walk from the Legacy Museum, which we highly recommend. There is a breakfast place around the corner and a park across the street. Only complaint would be the train noise in the middle of the night, but it was a problem on one side of the house, not the other. Same with the traffic noise, though there was very, very little traffic late at night (heck, there wasn't much during the day, either). It's an OLD house but nothing that was problematic. The bathroom has been redone, so that room is best. Not much to the kitchen. The living room had a very good "feel" to it. We were only there one night, but we relaxed in there before our dinner (at Vintage Year). Definitely recommend this place!!

BEWARE
On the as-best-as-I-got positive note: Despite the message from owner in an email I received after my reservation/payment in full: “In the meantime if you have any questions please dont hesitate to reach out. I look forward to speaking with you!”, this owner only responded to my contact attempts on the day prior to arrival. From my perspective: as a retired female, overall location is on the "sketchy" side for solo; although there is only on-street parking, the owner did place cones on the street in front to reserve the spot; the historical home has comfortable, functional updates. Regarding communication with VRBO and owner: after more than 2 weeks prior to the paid-in-full reservation, which was made about 7 weeks in advance, the owner still had NOT respond to my contact attempt through VRBO messaging, phone call (no answer, mailbox full) to number posted on VRBO, text, or email; after my arrival, owner later responded that the contact phone number posted on VRBO was incorrect – which doesn’t explain lack of response to messages sent through VRBO; VRBO rep(s) were also unable to reach owner/received no response from owner; VRBO rep stated that the owner account appeared to be inactive; the afternoon prior to my arrival, owner finally contacted VRBO for a 3-way phone call and ONLY then responded to my inquiry attempts to request a 1-1/2 earlier check-in OR that porch lights and some interior lights be left on for our late arrival. There’s more, but no room to type…

Charming Bungalow
The bungalow was very charming and in a great location to downtown Montgomery. There were some charming quirks like slightly uneven floors and outlets at floor level, but this was not an issue for us. The only issues we had were smaller beds (full-size) but because there were 3 bedrooms so we just used two beds. The only other issue was with the WiFi and that was addressed and fixed within 48 hours. I highly recommend this charming bungalow if you are visiting Montgomery.

Beautiful and Convenient
Our purpose in visiting Montgomery was to see the many civil rights attractions in the city. The cottage looked lovely online and was in a convenient location. When I arrived, I was absolutely charmed by the house and the quiet location. We could easily get to all the places we wanted to go and come back to this lovely house. It was comfortable and full of creature comforts travelers appreciate. My only complaint would be the living room furniture. The low back and height off the ground made it difficult for us due to our ages. Younger people wouldn’t notice and even so, I’d stay there again.
