Great stay in Mobile

The property was exactly as advertised - cozy, historic, two bedroom home only minutes from downtown Mobile. Perfect spot to access a variety of activities in the greater Mobile area and walkable to restaurants on Dauphin Street. Well stocked kitchen was used often during our 6 night stay. The whole check-in/communication process was seamless. I would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Great historic home close to downtown!

Home is a classic with lots of charm, private fenced backyard, and perfect for getting together near downtown Mobile. Check in and out is simple and the communication with the owner is good. We were able to walk to the Mardi Gras parades, a grocery store, and some nearby restaurants without needing a car. Would stay here again.

Beautiful House!

The house was exactly as described—a beautiful historic home—and we enjoyed staying there. I am from Mobile and lived in Spanish Fort for a long time, and the house is in a great location for traveling to both cities. I would stay there again!

Comfortable Space

My friend and I were in Mobile for a wedding, and this spot enhanced our overall experience. The house is as advertised and very clean. A minor issue came up while I was at rehearsal, and Jon had it resolved almost immediately. I absolutely recommend this place for anyone planning a trip to Mobile; this will be the first listing I check should I be traveling that way again. Thanks Jon!

No downstairs heat

This house is your typical old house; however why my rating is so low for overall is due to the fact I was not advised of the need for space heaters to heat the downstairs.When watching TV you have to turn off one of the heaters otherwise a circuit would blow.It was just too cold downstairs to enjoy meals and family time.

Awesome historical home

Beautiful histiorical home in downtown Mobile. The host was very easy to get in touch with and quick to reply to any questions we had. I highly recommend this place. The beds were so soft and comy you almost dont want to get up in the mornings. Clean, safe with a privacy fence around the while property and your car is parked off the road behind the privacy fence. Well worth it! Thanks to Johnathan for being so hospitable

Please Feed Stevie

Booking and the check in were a breeze. The quaint house was just too cute for words. Modestly decorated, but that’s fine too. The host was so kind as to leave waters, snacks, coffee, and many personal care items in case you need them. That was such a thoughtful gesture. The best part of the stay was Stevie. I assume she is the house cat because she knew her way inside. She never left the property. She was so cute and so sweet and likely pregnant 😟. We bought her food and blankets because it’s cold outside. Please feed Stevie. The most disappointing feature that I have to tell you about or it just wouldn’t be right. There is no heating or cooling downstairs. I called the host to ask about heating the downstairs and he told me “it will warm up in a minute or so because the heat upstairs will warm it.” We all know that heat rises and the only ductwork is in the attic. Nothing was going to warm the downstairs. We essentially had to spend all the time here in the bedroom. That was a bummer. I would say this place will be great when you can hit that sweet spot in temperature but there is no sweet spot in the south. It’s either hot, cold, or cold in the mornings and hot during the day. Anyway, I did enjoy the house, I wish we had been able to use the downstairs. I’m not sure if I’d ever stay there again.

Great!

The beds were comfy, the water was hot, and the location was lovely! Overall, no real complaints from us. I would suggest having slippers or warmer socks as my feet were chilly on the main floor, and we did grab blankets from upstairs to cozy up with on the couch in the evenings, but it wasn't a deal breaker by any means.
