PROS -
Lovely, fresh smelling, sparkling clean home throughout.
Fast & great communication when booking.
Powerful shower. Plenty of towels in my room. They even had a hair straightener as well as a hairdryer in the bathroom. That's great for a solo female who likes to travel light and doesn't wish to carry all the girly stuff but likes to look presentable for events.
I would like to have had some info/ leaflets in my room about places to visit, transport, taxi numbers , areas to avoid etc. Maybe it was in the house but I didn't see any info.
CONS ... Not in the best location. I'm very street smart and have travelled a lot, but I personally wouldn't have "walked" to downtown. It's about 2miles to the hotspots.
I noted a lot of drunks and druggies hanging on the street corner where the little corner store is so I just got an Uber downtown and back. Usually $6-8 each way. $12 one busy night.
2x Uber drivers recommended I avoid the corner store altogether, but once past there, they said, "that walking in the day time wasn't too bad, but not to walk alone at night". However, en route in my Uber in the daytime, I noted a lot of people looked high, walking along the sidewalk or sleeping on benches and some were in groups of 3-4. Sadly there are also lots of homeless on the streets (like many other cities worldwide).
One night after exiting my Uber outside the house, a drunk woman staggered over to me from outside the store and asked, "if I had any beer?" I said, "no" and she left me alone.
** I would stay here again due to it's cleanliness, good communication from hosts, short distance to downtown (as the Uber price is reasonable). I would recommend staying here to others, but to always use Uber. You will see the nicer parts of North Nashville are 1/2 way to downtown area. I hear from locals they have revamped a lot of the area and is going through the stages of gentrification. I think our hosts home/area will be a much safer place in the near future.
Centennial Park is worth a visit if you wish to chill out from the craziness of downtown and there are some great little shops /eateries on and around FATHERLAND ST (think its in the West part of Nashville. Again $8 in Uber. !!
