The Whetstone
26 Whetstone Close Farquhar Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2QN, United Kingdom – Excellent location - show map
Great location in a lovely area, especially good for parents of UoB students who live on The Vale. There are a few parking bays on site, but plentiful free street parking if these are all full. Spacious living and dining room, with access straight onto the garden. Very well equipped kitchen, with many appliances. Two bedrooms with blinds (curtains to make the room darker in the mornings would be a good addition). Shower room and separate toilet. Friendly and communicative host.
