Helen and her lovely husband are just greatly hospitable people. Also you'll love their two lovely cats pretty much.

I have stayed with too many hosts around the world during my numerous trips so far, and I can say from the bottom of my heart that Shirley was definitely the best host ever; and I'm sure she'll keep being the best one wherever I go and whoever I stay with for the rest of my life. It was extremely comfortable and peaceful time I spent in this blessed house that I cannot put into words. I enjoyed everything that was served for me to the last, and spent a perfect night, after which I totally felt unwound after hours of walking and standing on my feet around the town during two days. And lastly, if you're to visit Birmingham, prefer no luxurious hotels or that type of extravagant places to stay. Just book a room in this lovely house and enjoy Birmingham.
