Let me start by saying, this place is very clean, up to date, and gorgeous. When I stay somewhere, cleanliness is a huge thing I look for, and this met the criteria. Appliances are all up to date and top of the line. Location is great, with a 3 minute ride to Broadway, 8 minutes to the Gulch or Motorworks, and 15 minutes to the Opry. The neighborhood is not the greatest but not the worst. I felt the description and reviews accurately prepared us for the area. We never felt unsafe, but also wouldn’t walk alone or leave the doors unlocked. With that being said, we did take a scooter ride home from Broadway one afternoon. There is also an alarm system you can use if you’d like.
The kitchen was also well stocked (from what I’m assuming other people left), there were odds and ends such as washer detergent, trash bags, and spices.
I’m going to list a few issues we had that I hope people in the future are aware of. I also hope that after my private message, the ones that are able to be fixed, are fixed.
Safety
-Some of the windows after being opened, were unable to be closed
-There were no blinds upstairs at all. The back bedroom has french doors that look directly into the neighbor’s house. At a few points, their window and blinds were open. This is an issue for a few reasons, including the obvious issue with indecency...
Acoustics
-The bedroom walls do not connect all the way to the ceiling. Meaning there are no actual bedrooms. Along with this, there are just thin sliding doors. This causes you to be able to hear everything, feeling like there is no privacy whatsoever. You can hear people having a normal conversation on the first level, people in the bathroom, and just about every other sound you can have in a house. Thankfully, we thought to run a fan, which helped cover some of the sound in our room.
Temperature
-With there not being walls that connect to the ceiling, the front room was always very warm and the back very cold.
-Water temp was all over the place. There could be 4 showers, first could hot, middle two cold, and the last hot again. Or there could be one shower with no hot water. It didn’t make much sense.
Craftsmanship/Odds and Ends
-The backyard was very unkept. Most of the reason we spend the extra money to stay here was because of the nice looking backyard. There was no furniture and no landscaping done at all. This was very disappointing.
-For 5 days, 4 nights, and 4 people, there were only 4 towels. Causing us to have to wash clothes for clean towels.
Overall, for the money that was spend, we were disappointed. We had found some houses/apartments for $400 or so less, but decided to spend extra for this place because of how cute it was and the backyard. Unfortunately, the extra money spent turned out to not be worth it, which was very upsetting.
I wanted to list all the positives and negatives of the house so you are well aware before you book. I will say, as a host, Carol was great and very attentive in her replies. Check in was also very easy.
Wherever you choose to stay, I hope nothing but the best for your trip to Nashville. We certainly enjoyed ours!
