    Simply are not enough available characters to describe how wonderful the rental process and stay was with this host at this location! The property is peacefully quiet, safe, conveniently located close to the Loop and Downtown Mobile, AL. I 100% will stay at this property when I visit Alabama again! The host was extremely kind, helpful, and accommodating to our needs. Normally, I’m stressed about lodging when I come back to visit Alabama, but this trip was truly my absolute favorite one because of the experience I had with this host at this rental. I’d like to personally thank the host for making my trip possible and alleviating all of the unnecessary stress. Your check-in and check out process was flawless! The amenities within the home performed performed beautifully, and we were comfortable the entire time. If you’re looking for a place to say in Mobile, do not pass up on this absolute gem!!!! This is absolutely the place to stay!!

    This house reminded me of my grandmas house. It was very nice. It had everything I needed. It is super cute.The communication was timely and very nice. Loved listening to the records.Thanks for allowing me access to the collection. I had a great time, was so comfortable I was sad to go. It was so conveniently located to the conference center and places to eat. The beds were more comfortable than home. They thought of everything. Would stay again. Wish I had stayed longer.

    We love the record player and all the vintage records, the cozy front sitting room and the comfortable couch, the adorable bedrooms with the rocking chair, the handy air conditioning and having a laundry that we could use. The location is very convenient to downtown, shopping, restaurants etc but predominantly because it was so quiet and surrounded by cute character homes and large oak trees.

    Thanks for the great stay at the Shadows. Everything you need is provided. Close to everything in the area. Good safe side walks to explore the neighborhood. I would suggest some sort of handle in the bath tub area for safety. A decorative handle could work. It does not need to be intrusive to the decorative theme. The bed in the room closest to the living room was most comfortable for us. We tried both of course. And the first room is more quiet as you can’t hear the ac compressor turning on in the second room.

    Catherine's precious home in Mobile was exquisite and absolutely perfect for an extended stay in the city, a quick weekend visit, etc. It was far enough away to feel as secluded and safe as a charming neighborhood can feel, but close enough for all attractions. We were enamored with the efforts to modernize and decorate the home without losing the integrity and utterly unique magic of the historic home... No potential needs were overlooked and communication was top tier level... Catherine went above and beyond.. Thank you for an amazing experience!

    Stayed a week in AL and this was our first stop. The home was as expected - clean and tidy. Great space for lounging. The neighborhood was beautiful, and the location couldn't have been better! A short 10–15-minute drive to the USS Alabama and Dauphin Street. The owner was very attentive. We were scheduled to arrive a couple days after Hurricane Helene was supposed to hit land, so we reached out to the owner about our trip and options. She stayed in constant communication with us during this ordeal which was greatly appreciated. Overall, great place to start our trip.
