Ben is a very friendly and gracious host, he went above and beyond to accommodate us (early check-in, brought down a blender for us to use). He also took the time to check in on us (he was traveling) a few days after we checked in. The apartment is fairly close to downtown, about an 8 min drive, in the funky East Nashville neighborhood. It's a clean, modern apartment, with great TV options (e.g. Netflix etc), comfy mattress in Master BR, generous towel and coffee supplies. Also, the owner left a nice welcome basket of goodies. We received good tips from Ben on area restaurants and bars. Some drawbacks: not enough pots, utensils and spices to really cook a full dinner; chunky gravel parking area in back is uneven and it's hard to see back there after dark (one-directional motion-sensor lights not sufficient to light entire driveway to alley); no thermostat control in the apartment (you have to call or text the owner every time you want the temperature adjusted); no dressers/shelves to put folded clothing (just hanger closets); owners upstairs have a young child and dog, and noise travels through the floor. They were only home for 1 of the 4 nights we stayed, so it wasn't a huge problem for us.
