Great place
We needed a temporary place to stay while we had work done on our house. This place was perfect. It had all of the amenities we needed and we felt right at home. We would stay again in the future should the need arise and would recommend to anyone needing a pet-friendly house with off street parking in a convenient location.

Weekend Getaway
My wife and I took a weekend getaway to Birmingham to visit local Farmer's Markets and restaurants. We looked for a place to stay close to down town but also accommodating and safe. The Cheerful Avondale Bungalow fit us perfectly. It's located in a well established, cute neighborhood within walking distance to the Avondale downtown streets and the Avondale Park. We took advantage of the park both days and walked around the pond and ballfields, very nice. Getting downtown B-ham or up the mountain to Mountain Brook area was a breeze, everything was like 5-10 minutes away. Our hosts communicated with us before we arrived and we felt very comfortable reaching out to them if needed. The house had all we needed, nice spacious kitchen, very clean throughout, nice fenced in backyard. Overall our stay was wonderful, and at this proximity it was a perfect "base" for us to do all we wanted to do. We would definitely stay here again and refer others. Thank you Britt and George!

Awesome stay!
The Butterfly House is a beautiful home that is well appointed with lots of little details that make you smile. We loved our stay and enjoyed the proximity to the Avondale entertainment district. Great too to have off street parking and a super large back yard for the pooch… Will be back for sure…

Great little stay!
We stopped overnight on our way through and it was such a great spot. Darling house, great amenities including coffee and creamer, kid and baby items, and a super comfy master bed. My only suggestion might be some black out curtains in the master since there aren’t blinds. Lovely stay!

Avondale Bungalow
House was very cute. Loved the looks of the kitchen. The shower head or water pressure sucked. The plastic mattress cover made noises when I moved in the night. And it made for hot sleeping. Went to put linens in washer as per rules but there were sheets in there.

Perfect Quiet Stay
We were in town for a baseball tournament for my 15 year old son. This house was perfectly located between all of the fields. The house was very clean, very well stocked with all we would need and it fit the description on website. It was so great! Only negative was trying to back out of the driveway with all the cars parked on the street and that wasn’t even that bad. Would stay again!

Cute neighborhood, ok house
The pet hair everywhere was my biggest negative impression. It was on the sheets, pillows, towels... I don't expect a home that allows pets to be pet-hair-free, but I do expect the things that are washable to be clean. Second biggest negative impression was that I didn't feel like a guest. Things were not folded nicely or organized or set up in a welcoming way. The sheets were wadded up in the linen area and the extra pillows were thrown carelessly into closet shelves. Some of the towels we pulled out to used were ratty, stained and torn. Bottles of soaps and other half-used items were just higgledy piggledy strewn in the bathroom shelving. There was a house number sign laying on the kitchen countertop in front of the coffee maker, presumably awaiting someone to glue its loose number back on. My third negative impression after climbing into the pet-hair covered bed, was hearing the railroad train every night until midnight. The tracks are several blocks away, but unfortunately, the horn is still very loud and one was blown about every 10 minutes. I would only recommend this place if you have pets staying with you, you don't mind feeling like you are staying at your buddy's house instead of paying to be a guest at a VRBO and you bring earplugs.
