The property was located in a quiet residential area and ideally located for the University of Alabama. The property was shabby chic in style perhaps leaning more towards the shabby than chic but still comfortable. The only major drawback was the lack of crockery, utensils and cooking pans. Eating out was not an option for us due to allergies which is why we chose the property for our stay. However, for a property which sleeps 4 people - 4 mugs, 4 plates, 8 bowls, 6 large glasses, 2 pans and 3 baking items cuts isn't sufficient. We had to buy pans, a peeler and tongs to enable a meals for 3 to be cooked. The lack of items meant we were using the dishwasher twice a day and hand washing was impossible due to no plugs in either kitchen sink or the bathroom sink as well. Finally, there were insufficient chairs at dining table to enable our party to sit down together to eat. No takeaway food eaten on the white sofa for us.
