The Morris Avenue Historic District is an industrial district in Birmingham, Alabama. The district covers Morris Avenue from 20th Street to 25th Street and First Avenue from 21st to 26th Street. The Morris Avenue section comprises a set of late 19th century masonry warehouses that were Birmingham's main food distribution center until the 1950s. Notable buildings include the Liberty Trouser Building and the A.C. Legg Building on Morris Avenue on either side of the Moskowitz Warehouse.
The Morris Ave corridor is now inhabited by cutting edge restaurants, local high end retail, and architect inspired real estate development. Chef inspired creations are served each day at Essential, Caco Cayo, and East /West. Libations abound at The Atomic Lounge, Carrigan's Public House, and The Paramount. Rotary Trail and the cobblestones of Morris make the neighborhood eminently walk-able. Each turn of a corner reveals a great new view of a revitalized Birmingham.

    The unit was perfect for our needs! We stayed for 4 nights and the apartment was ideal for our stay, the kitchen had everything we needed to be able to make home cooked meals and adequate means to clean up without having to bring our own cleaning equipment. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The location is great for walking around down town and to local shops and breweries, Michael was very informative and responsive and I would definitely recommend his place for anyone visiting Birmingham!

    What a beautiful place! The loft itself is stunning but what really impressed us was how well it was set up for guests. Every drawer, cupboard, light switch was labelled. It had every item you would need for a stay - there is nothing that Michael hasn’t thought of. Wonderful that there’s a parking lot of needed but also walkable to great restaurants and anywhere else downtown. Highly recommend!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this amazing property. It exceeded all of my expectations. This is a stunning loft, the renovation is so thoughtful. I adored the integrity of the original brick walls and thoroughly enjoyed watching the trains. The property was not only immaculately clean but also beautifully designed with attention to every detail. The amenities provided made my stay comfortable and convenient, offering everything I needed and more. Whether I was relaxing in the comfortable living room or enjoying the views from the windows every moment spent at this property was truly memorable. The location was perfect, allowing me easy access to nearby attractions and activities while still providing a peaceful retreat to unwind. I had no need to contact my Host as everything was already thought of. Check in could not have been more simplistic. Overall, my experience at this property was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway and can't wait to return in the future. Thank you for providing me with such a fantastic experience!

    On the plus side; The kitchen is very well equipped, the bathrooms are a good size and there is ample seating and relaxing areas. On the downside, the trains run 24 / 7 and are very audible. We expected the property to be sound proofed better. Only occasionally do the trains make the property feel like it rattles. The neighborhood isn't one I would feel safe to walk around at night, but that could be said for many city properties. One thing to note is the property is dark. The windows provide light during the day, but almost everything in the property is black and gray and the lighting is dim- especially in the bedrooms. Even the plates and glassware are in shades of black and gray. The building itself it kind of run down and there seem to be an abundance of air fresheners used throughout the building. Lastly, don't leave any food on the counters that might only be lightly wrapped. Little bugs will swarm it.

    The property is as nice, if not better, than the pictures online. Michael’s communications make checkin and checkout incredibly easy! Greatly appreciate his prompt responses to any, and every, question. The loft is ideally suited for events at the convention center, Legacy Arena, or the sites in Downtown Birmingham. Awesome restaurants in walking distance nearby! Would definitely stay there again!

    My son (17yo) and I came to Birmingham for his birthday to see the motocross championship. He loved it! Surprisingly, Mom had a great time, too! The Rail Yard Loft is perfect. It’s unlike any other place we’ve stayed. We really appreciated the old architecture and unique details. Great location, too. The light that comes in through the old windows adds warmth and beauty - just gorgeous. No need to worry about any railway noise at The Rail Yard Loft. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and the parking safe and secure. My son said it’s one of the coolest places I’ve ever taken him and we would love to stay here again. Thoughtfully decorated, immaculate in cleanliness, beautiful bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds - checks all the boxes. This loft includes a beautiful bar, too. Though we did not imbibe, what a stylish place to enjoy an evening of memories with friends and family. Michael is hands-down, the most communicative and helpful Vrbo host. He made everything so easy for us, though we arrived late at night. I’m a single mom, never been to Birmingham, and Michael was very kind and patient with me. The checkout process is one of the easiest I’ve experienced. Thank you, Michael for letting us stay at your place. We had a great weekend and hope to be back soon. Amanda
