I dislike leaving reviews that don’t shine the best possible light on a situation, but I decided that I would be doing a HUGE disservice to anyone else looking to stay at this location if I didn’t.
There are 3 things I want to cover:
1.) This location is staged in photos (like any AirBnB) however, this location doesn’t exactly look like the photos. In the photos this is a very well put together place with a bar behind the couch to eat and a little mini kitchen-ish area. The bar was gone. Lots of the decoration had been changed. Furniture had been changed or omitted. There was junk in every closet which made it awkward to hang our things. The dresser in the photos was gone, so that wasn’t an option either.
The photos don’t represent the space accurately- which is a problem when you’re basing your decision of where to stay off photos and reviews.
2.) The bathroom situation is TERRIBLE. The tile in the bathroom on the floor and in the shower is busted and dirty. There is also a HUGE leak coming from the main faucet of the bathtub that trails down the back of the tub and onto the floor. So just expect to wade your way through a half inch of water after a 5 minute shower. (Not even kidding.) We informed the home owner and she informed us that this has been an ongoing problem for the past five years and gave us a basket of extra towels. Why wasn’t this disclosed prior to booking?! It was also very evident that this has been an ongoing issue due to the water damage that has creeped into the LIVING ROOM and rotted the hardwood. I learned this by going to get a blanket out of a basket in the living room only to find it was sopping wet.
3.) The location (geographically) isn’t the best. You feel like you’re saving money, but you will spend so much money on Lyft and Uber that you might as well stay closer to Broadway (if that’s what you’re going to Nashville to experience). This is not the fault of the home owner; I have just seen previous reviews saying it’s close to main attractions. It’s not. It’s anywhere between a $15-$30 ride every time you need to get anywhere, one way.
