We were in town for an event at Samford University. The location was very close to the school! Wonderful house - very clean and roomy. There were six of us and there was plenty of space for everyone. Our hostess was fantastic and very quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend this home especially if you are visiting a Samford student!
