I booked Terry and Luisa's place as a one night staycation for my girlfriend's birthday. The place was perfect.
When I arrived to check-in, I was able to meet our wonderful hosts on my walk through their beautiful backyard garden to the cottage. They were so kind and accommodating, it was such a pleasure talking to them both.
The cottage itself has a large kitchen/living room area that would make it perfect for a longer stay. Upstairs is the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom was clean, modern, and fully stocked with whatever you needed. The bedroom was beautiful, with four skylights allowing for a good night's rest under the stars and a natural wake with the sun. If you're looking to sleep in, they've got you covered with brand-new sleep masks to keep the sunrise at bay.
The entire place was decorated with original posters of concerts from the Ryman. Having only been to one myself, I hope to attend even half as many as Terry and Luisa. A concert at the beautiful Ryman Auditorium is an experience in itself, and is definitely a recommendation for lover of music from out of town.
The location itself was perfect for an East Nashville getaway. It was an easy, two-block walk to the Five Points area where we got drinks on the porch at Rosemary. In fact, you could have a pleasant walk just about anywhere in the wonderful East Nashville neighborhoods. It's not a far shot from downtown either, a pretty easy 5-10 minute ride to the Broadway area.
Overall, this was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had using airbnb. Terry and Luisa should be very proud of their Cottage and even more so of their accommodating hosting. We left a couple things and Terry was quick to reach out to establish an outlet to get them returned.
If you're looking for a one-night getaway or a longer staycation, you can't go wrong here.
