Downstairs Studio apartment in delightful Anniston with WiFi, AC

I was heer for fiur days. This is an older, heritage house with lots of character and interesting features in a quiet and, for my visit at least, safe neighborhood. It is slightly DIY but is a good value and clean enough with a comfortable before. The host was easy to communicate with and even checked in part way through my stay to make sure everything was alright I would definitely stay here again.

This property had some pros and cons:Pros: - nice location, listed as a studio, but it's more of a 1 bedroom, so it was larger than expected, quiet night's sleep, nice neighborhood, close to town, easy to find - handle on tub great!Cons: - Very old and run down building, but still fairly clean, just old. I have never stayed at a VRBO that didn't have some basics, like shampoo - so it was a quick trip I didn't bring anything and had to go buy - I had to search out in all the cabinets for towels and a blanket - because nothing was out - no wash cloth that I could find. Slippery shower, no grip. Communication was not the best. I notified the host at least 2-4 weeks in advance I had to fly out early due to airline changes and wanted to cancel a day - NEVER heard anything back. Did not contact me until the day before arrival with an address but no other info until after I landed in Alabama and was on my way to the property - upstairs guests/owners are very loud. Not based on what they were doing, just an old building and everything is loud when someone above you is up. Sadly, it made me get up at 5:15am when they were up!Overall - I think for what was paid, any of the hotels/motels in the area offered the same experience and more amenities - and I would likely stay at a hotel next time, UNLESS you want the large dining table and a kitchen area (beware, photo of refrigerator is NOT accurate, it is much smaller) the only perk for me was really a decent night's sleep.

This place was affordable and a short drive to the softball fields. We could have bought groceries for a longer stay since there was a full size refrigerator and a cook top but it was comfortable enough to sleep for a few days. The bathroom could use some repairs and a mirror over the sink but it worked for my daughter and I. This is actually a historical house that has separate complete living areas with individual keypads to keep your space secure so there are other people staying there too. The only common area was where we parked behind the house and there was a washer and dryer in the entry area. It was clean and it was good for our stay.

Great location. Awesome host! Clean surroundings! Quiet and restful! Comfortable environment!
