The utter kindness & support of Suman & Chris is worth the rent alone! They are truly the personification of kindness & thoughtfulness. They 'made' my stay in Birmingham a real pleasure.
Lovely house / room / shower /WC, very comfortable bed (!) in a quiet residential street. The house is about a 20+ minute cycle ride from the Birmingham Hippodrome or buses 16 & 16A (about an 8-minute walk from the house) direct to the theatre. Lidl 5 minute bike ride. An excellent choice–you will be happy too!

Suman & Chris were very welcoming, & the single room was thoughtfully furnished & stylishly decorated & comes with its own private shower room.
It's in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood, about a 20 minute drive from the centre of Birmingham.
I definitely hope to stay here again.

Had a lovely time staying with Chris and Suman, they were incredibly welcoming, and have a wonderful home and garden. Suman was even kind enough to show me how to make her pumpkin curry, which was delicious, and I'm excited to make it myself in the future! With there being a bus only a short walk away that then goes to the centre of town, it is in an ideal location to then stay in a quieter area after a night's work. If ever I'm back in Birmingham, I'd be delighted to stay with them again.

Had a lovely stay with Chris and Suman. They were very friendly and welcoming. The room has plenty of storage space and a desk which is great, makes a nice change! I didn’t have any problems with the buses into town but I don’t know how regular they are late at night.

Wonderful stay with Suman and Chris, the decors cute and the space has everything you need. Own bathroom next door is an added bonus! Street is safe to park a car on and easy drive or bus into town. I got tonsillitis whilst I was there and Suman looked after me so well which I’m very grateful for. I’ll definitely stay again if I’m ever in Birmingham
Thank you 🙏🏼

Wonderful house, welcoming hosts. Single bed room cosy next to kitchen and great modern amenities.
Can get a bus into town centre within 20 minutes dependant on traffic. In residential area so good for a person who just wants peace and quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of town.
