This place is in a great location for our trip. We wanted to visit Nashville daily, but not stay right in downtown. It’s a very quick drive into town, and an even shorter drive to a number of drug stores, a couple of grocery stores, and anything you might need in a pinch. The house was feels like it’s a million miles away, without actually being more than a few miles from everything. The main floor deck was a favorite when it was warm enough, and the fireplace was an added bonus every evening.
One thing to note, this is not simply a rental property- it’s a family home. I know that’s the deal sometimes with Airbnb, but in all the places I’ve stayed, it was a first for me. As such, it is lived in, not stripped down and sparse, like a property that sits empty when not rented usually would be. The family’s items are all there, including the fridge, bathrooms, etc. and you’re living among them. This is neither good nor bad, but rather, just a fact that took us a little getting used to.
The place is well stocked, but just a few amenities I’d add- a hair dryer, and either an ice maker, ice trays, or a fresh bag of ice for each new guest. Neither is a big deal at all, but it would be a little more convenient.
Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay at Casa del Rio. Stephanie was quick to respond when we needed her, and friendly. Bolt the cat was pretty sweet, too. :)
