What a gem. We spent three nights at Hawks Nest, but easily could have stayed there a week (or more!)
The apartment is impeccably designed, with its vintage touches and modern backdrop, a space that is obviously a just-finished labor of love. It's dreamy.
Rachel and Andrew were so helpful and communicative throughout our stay. It made us feel super at ease the whole time.
Hawks Nest is located about 5 minutes from the up-and-coming Five Points area and about 10 minutes from The Gulch and Music Row. We were glad we had a car, as it made it easy to get groceries and make multiple stops. We spent a day shopping vintage stores around the city.
But you don't have to have a car. Just be prepared to spend about $6-12 per ride throughout the day.
The neighborhood is transitional, but we felt right at home the whole time. The neighbors we met are sweet, friendly and helpful.
Kitchen-wise, you have all the essentials - pots and pans, as well as salt and pepper. We didn't spot oil or other spices, so if you plan to stay the week, you'll need to grab those. (But check first - things change!)
Oh, last thing: THE BED. Most comfortable airbnb bed I've experienced yet. Slept like a baby every night!
