A family member was having surgery at UAB and I needed my own place to rest, but also close enough to walk to the hospital as needed. It was perfect, very clean, and modern. ##### Josh H.

The property was splendid..easy parking and an ease of access to the apartment. Directly located in the UAB shadows with fantastic restaurants on bottom floor. The building envokes serenity with keyless entry, street or garage parking, well lit hallways and quiet evenings. Would highly recommend this unit for a happy stay!! ##### Ramsay A.

I was in town for business and stayed for 3 nights. It's in a safe location, near several restaurants and a 10 min drive to BJCC. Plus, I greatly appreciate how responsive and helpful Joshua was. My only critique is regarding the dust in the space. Although the condo was pretty, orderly and smelled clean, the dust was considerable. And the pillowcases were not washed because I found makeup and hair on them. Thankfully laundry detergent was complimentary, so I was able to wash them. Also, please consider adding a couple of bottles of water (like at a hotel). Not everyone is a coffee drinker :) Yes - I would stay again and highly recommend. ##### Qiyamah L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### JoAnna Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This was a very walkable location for my husband’s appointment at UAB. We were also able to walk to nearby eateries. Despite the location, it was considerably quiet. We ran a brown noise app at night and slept soundly. Everything was clean and comfortable and everyone we met in the building was friendly and/or helpful. I also appreciated that parking was included. ##### JoAnna Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline S.
