Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming Bungalow in the Birmingham Hills The Vinyl house was the perfect 2-week rental for myself and a work colleague. Centrally located, the house is very cute and comfortable. Great coffee options in the kitchen with a drip maker, whole beans, grinder and a French press! The neighborhood is cool--being watched over by the Vulcan statue and the views of the city are beautiful. Will definitely stay again on my next multi-day stay in Birmingham. ##### Angie M.
