About this apartment rental
Welcome to The Gatsby!
Take a step back into time, and stay in our 1920s Art Deco speakeasy-themed loft. The Prohibition Era was such an interesting time in our history, and we have tried to capture this snapshot in time at The Gatsby. Upon arrival, you must ascend 27 stairs (there is no elevator).
The Location:
When staying at The Gatsby, you will find yourself in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa overlooking the magnificent and bustling University Blvd and Greensboro Ave. Intersection. Walk to bars, restaurants, convenience stores, shopping, and more! Just 1 mile from the stadium!
Sleeping & Bathrooms:
There are 2 King Beds & 1 twin futon and 2 full bathrooms. The base pricing is set at 4 people, but the unit can sleep up to 8. Read details on how it can sleep 8. The rooms at The Gatsby are smaller scale & historic rooms.
Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2 King Bed with en-suite bathroom
Game Room Area: Futon with full bath across from it.
Optional Beds: 1 Sectional Sofa and 2 conversational sofas (meant for people under 5'2")
The Space and Amenities:
- Poker Table
- Board Games

Outdoor Fun:
There is a covered, screened-in porch with comfortable seating, ceiling fan, TV, fire-pit and more! This space overlooks Temerson Square, so you will be privy to lots of activity and marvelous people watching.
Parking:
There is no designated parking, as you are in a loft space in Downtown, facing University Blvd. After 5PM, you are able to park anywhere on University Blvd, but during the day, you will get towed after 2 hrs. You are nearby to a public parking garage that you are able to utilize, or we recommend an Uber/Lyft. Once you arrive, you should not need a car as you are walking distance to everything, or could get a golf cart shuttle.
There are exterior security cameras located at the front and back of the property. These devices may not be tampered with, covered, or unplugged by guests.

What a great location to all the fun downtown! Such a cool place inside too! It was cozy and made you feel like you were taking a step back into the Gatsby era. We would absolutely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property for our daughter’s sorority parents weekend. We could easily walk to all the restaurants and bars in the downtown area.
There’s plenty of room to spread out so you don’t feel crowded like most hotel rooms. I was a little concerned we might have noise from nearby businesses but not at all. The only negative is you have to climb quite a few stairs to get in the unit but that wasn’t an issue for us. Also, we were lucky enough to find parking close by since it was a weekend. During the week, you would need to park in parking garage a block away. Overall, we loved the convenience, amenities and uniqueness of the property plus the ease of booking and communication. Highly recommend!

Very unique with lots of character. Small bedrooms, but great for a short stay. Very convenient. Parking was tough at times with so many people in town but we were made aware of that in advance. I recommend!
