First, the host was very response to messages prior to our arrival. They were gracious enough to allow us to enter the home 30 minutes earlier than the stated check-in time. When we had a couple of things that needed noting, they responded quickly. After we checked out, I gave them the opportunity to check out the review I was planning to post as I know they were hoping for a 5-star rating. They stopped responding. After encountering the issues you will see below, I am only able to rate this an overall 2.
I can see that this could be a really lovely Airbnb rental; but it would require some attention to details. I will bullet some of the issues we encountered during our short stay.
•	The doorknob in the bathroom on the left was almost falling off - husband tightened it
•	Toilet in the same bathroom is loose - it moves when you sit on it
•	Tub in this bathroom also has a very slow drain, but eventually does drain.
•	The toilet paper holder in the bathroom on the right is not properly installed and falls off
•	The tub in the bathroom on the right wouldn't drain at all on Saturday (in fact it backed up and had sandy like sediment in it after it drained), my husband took the stopper out and cleaned out a large amount of hair and gunk. It is still slow to drain
•	The air conditioner is very loud. So much so that when it kicked on, we had to turn the TV volume up to 40 to hear it. It was also disruptive to the bedroom on the right at night.
•	In other VRBO & Airbnb's we've stayed, the host generally leaves snacks, coffee and basic spices and oils to use for cooking since most travelers won't be bringing these items with them. The some of the snacks left were out of date and the spices too were out of date as was the powdered cream (by 1 year). It begs the question of how much detail is being paid to these small but important touches that are supposed to leave us feeling welcomed.
•	Lack of decent cooking utensils.
o	The frying pans have the Teflon coming off
o	The cutting board is way too small. Should have a few more – different sizes.
o	The knives are dull and not the right assortment. They are all serrated and that doesn’t always work on what needs cutting.
o	The kitchen should have more than 1 towel.
o	Helpful to have a drying pad. Not everything needs to go in the dishwasher. Coffee cups can be washed by hand and left to dry for the next use. We had to use a bathroom towel.
•	The blinds in the bathroom on the right don't go all the way down and anyone walking on the sidewalk outside the window could get quite the show.
•	No lightbulb in the lamp in the living room and none to be found to install one.
•	The dishwasher door doesn't stay down on its own. It also is damaging the wall.
•	The fans and the air vents are pretty dirty. Clearly visible to the naked eye, again, makes us wonder how much attention to cleanliness is being done.
Other suggestions for owner:
•	Provide a broom - The leaves had started falling and collected in the front door and consequently came into the house when we walked in.
•	A larger trash can in the kitchen would be beneficial because guests wouldn't go through so many trash bags.
•	The wiring in the living room is weird, one switch controls one fan and the light from the opposite fan. Both switches work this way.
•	The washer and dryer are pretty noisy, and the dryer doesn't stop when you open the door. It keeps tumbling until you push the start button.
As I mentioned, this has tremendous potential for being a really great Airbnb location if more attention is paid to these details. It is nicely located near downtown Nashville (with parking) and other great areas of interest without having to deal with all of the noise and traffic of staying downtown.
