This was our first experience with airbnb and it was great! Rick was extremely on top of things. He responded immediately to my initial booking request. On our arrival date, he sent me a text message first thing in the morning to check on our estimated arrival time. We had arrived early and luckily Rick was done cleaning, so we were able to drop off our bags before the 3pm check in time. The space was exactly as pictured - open and very clean/new. There were plenty of fresh towels, soap and shampoo, basic coffee mix and bottled water. The room felt like a large hotel room with a kitchenette and the bathroom was spacious. There is a lovely front porch, but it was too cold to enjoy the outdoor space during our visit.

The only SLIGHT downside is the location - about 1.5 miles from the main drag in downtown Nashville, and a little further from the 12th Ave South bars and restaurants. However, we did not have a rental car and discovered that the public bus system is quite good. The city also seems to be investing in a bikeshare program which would be great for visitors who don't have a car. The upside of the location was the proximity to Bicentennial Park, the Farmer's Market and Germantown (specifically Monell's Restaurant - recommended by Rick and our favorite meal of the trip!).

Overall it was a very positive experience, and a GREAT deal for the price. I would highly recommend staying in this studio apartment when you visit Nashville. Rick obviously takes care of his property and wants to ensure that guests have a comfortable visit. Thanks, Rick for your hospitality!
