Alexander kept up with my several changes prior to our arrival ~ thank you very much for your patience with our travel changes! We stayed 2 nights & were very comfortable. Nice beds, good kitchen, warm shower. Ear plugs helped with traffic noise.

College Frat House Vibe

Overall, the location served its purpose for my requirements. The location reminded me a lot of my days in college living in off campus housing. While it was not in the best ideal location, all was fine and I found an awesome coffee shop two blocks away which I went to multiple times.

A good deal

The pictures do this place no justice. The old antique feel is very cute and the beds are super comfortable. The please is a good deal overall. I would like to add little things like plastic ware ,body wash, a clothes hamper for dirty towels would’ve been nice . But for the price I can’t complain.

Filthy

Mouse droppings everywhere, including piles under the clean wash cloths. Remnants of a bar of soap and toothpaste tube mice have eaten in the towel cabinet, large dead roach in the spare bedroom floor, THICK dust on EVERYTHING, except the main table! The apartment is antique/vintage which is acceptable. Filth is not. The apartment is very conveniently located to downtown such that it is only a 5 minute drive at rush hour, but the location doesn't seem safe. After i was given the address, just 2 days prior to arrival i see that according to online stats for Montgomery, it is in a very high crime area. The bed was very comfortable. I will not be staying here when I return over the next few weeks and months, nor will I recommend it.

I was very pleased by my stay. The place was incredibly clean. The layout was very nice with all sorts of collectables and such that added to the ambiance. Kitchen was very well equipped. The bath towels were not some cheap KMart models. Heck they were thicker than I've found in some Hotels. Strongly recommend a stay.

Great place to lay your head down and rest. The apartment is very cute with an eclectic mix of decor. Beds are nice and comfy and the balcony patio allows you to step outside for a breath of fresh air without having to leave the apartment.

It was central to all the Montgomery locations I was visiting, short drive times.Host had no control but city was paving the street there and sometimes had to deal with one lane trafic during the day. At night no problem, again host had no control of this. Enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

The area was a little shady looking at first glance,the shirtless man in the front definitely didn't help. Some of the decor of the unit was questionable, borderline offensive if you're of African decent. Overall it was convenient location, and the host had great communication.

A nice walk thru history

I'm a history buff. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this really nice small apartment. The art and decorations were really cool. I hadn't seen a rotary phone in years. It was comfortable, safe, clean, and conveniently located. Just bring ear buds because of traffic noise and there are stairs. I have no complaints though and Alexander was kind and helpful.
