Sheraton Apartments - Birmingham, Alabama

Eva Teresa Virciglio Holmes

Sheraton Laundry is pretty decent. It's nice to know you have to buy a card from a machine in $10 increments and then use it toward the washing and drying. It's important to read all of the directions/ instructions while purchasing this card and adding your credit . They only accept this card for the washers and dryers. The initial fee for the card is $4 or so and then you have it for as long as you keep it and can add credit to it anytime.
They do have two of the oversized washing machines , I think I remember that they were around $7.50 but they can wash a lot of clothes the smaller washers are around $2.50 . I can't remember dryer prices but it's in increments of 10 mins for what the cost is maybe 50cents or $1 . Don't forget to clean the lint traps!
They have two tables to fold laundry in and rolling baskets .

I lived at the Sheraton Apartments for two years. I enjoyed my stay. I was eight minutes away from my job. My view was incredible on the eighth floor. My apartment was three steps away from the elevator and my view was incredible! The maintenance guys are very professional. I’ve only had to contact the once and that was because I wanted a new toilet seat. However, it was great for my aesthetic purposes. The apartment is vintage and It compliments the modern style. And Management is very good at what they do.

Amazing views, Beautiful Location, adequate housing, quiet and secure!

1. Pros:
There are so many good things I can say about my time here. living at the Sheraton has been primarily a pleasure. The building is beautiful, the view is amazing, and the location is perfect.
Victor, the building manager has been a wonderful person to work with and the maintenance manger Jim has always been easy to get ahold of and addressed my issues immediately. I am so glad to have lived here and had the opportunity to relax in such a peaceful and lovely part of Birmingham.

The reasons I am leaving are 2 parts practical and 1 part personal.
, and I'll add a fair of amount of detail on the personal at the bottom so you don't have to sift through my irritated review.

2. Cons:
the practical reasons are this:
Parking is hard, getting packages delivered is difficult, and people keep breaking the locks and propping the doors open to the building.The water pressure fluctuates and occasionally dies, and when I used hot water, I have to run it for a moment because the first minute or so is always rusty water.
the walls in my apartment have been repaired multiple times and it's a crazy mix of concrete, drywall, and plaster that is too weak to hang anything up on unless you're using Velcro. I was not able to put up curtains which kinds sucked because though the view was truly beautiful and amazing, my window was west-facing and my apartment heated up significantly during the day, and let in way too much light at night.
That brings me to the second issue, The unit was absolutely filthy when i moved in. I had to wipe everything down,s weep, vacuum and bleach because I kept finding patches of mold in the many many many closets. This was combined with the window unit AC being ancient and filthy. I had to take the vents off, manually clean them off in bleach and wipe down the interior as far back as I could reach because it was covered in black-green mildew. It was also set at the worst possible angle to cool the apartment off, and the difference in heat between the rooms was impressive. the AC was also incredibly loud and made it hard to hear things like my tv, music, or general conversation let alone sleep.

3. The personal reason:
finally I'll talk about the personal issue. Back in December I was promoted and expected to take over a new and wide set of responsibilities at my work, requiring me to be there for around 12 hours a day for the next few months. I woke up to a serious water leak in my apartment. I immediately put in a work order, and left for work. As was normal, the maintenance guys came in and they called to let me know that they would need to bust in a hole in one of the walls to get to the broken pipe.
Not sure how it happened, but in breaking down the wall, they coated my ENTIRE apartment in drywall dust. Every single think i owned was coated. My bed, my blankets, ALL of my clothing, dishes, electronics, and the AC unit was covered in dust. It literally made my life a misery for that entire month and set me back financially for the month. I had to clean in the few hours i was home during the day and when I asked for some kind of reparation for the amount of money i spent getting my clothes cleaned, (some of which needed to be dry cleaned, other disposed of.) the building manager, Jon Jeff, told me that "this was the cost of living in a historic building." He failed to understand my complaint and seemed to think i was worried about the water stain on my carpet, and absolutely refused too make things right in any way or even apologize for the nightmare. He then, followed that up by going into my apartment without notice the monday after we spoke to look at the carpet. Had I known I wouldn't have spent my entire Sunday before hosing down my furniture in the bathtub and wiping down everything to clean off the remaining dust.
Now I have been requesting a replacement AC unit as the one In my apartment is filled with drywall dust and has a horrible ammonia smell. I asked for this get to fixed in December and am still waiting.

This property is below average. The elevators always stink of refuse and dog urine. The trash receptacles are always overflowing. The property management is incredibly intrusive. Pest control shows up bi-weekly, so one can only imagine the nastiness. The water never heats properly in your shower - hope you like cold showers. Also, expect to write a maintenance request and be ignored for 7 months. I have 🙂

I'll give them 2 for the fact that the building is old and some issues are caused by the ancient structure simply falling apart.

I lived at Sheraton 3 years and loved it. Great neighborhood, right in between parks and close to Pepper Place Farmers Market. Always people out walking dogs or pushing strollers. Right above Rojo. The apartments are a bit older so if your'e looking for washer/dryer in unit and new appliances this is not for you. Has a lot of storage. David is great about getting back to you if anything needs fixing.

Staying at an air b&b here but it’s absolutely adorable, clean and safe. We really loved the building and the residents within. We joked that if we ever move to Birmingham that we’d move here

Best location, friendly and calm neighborhood, good management. It's an old building so there are few things missing here and there but overall 9/10

Sheraton laundry mat was excellent.
