Andrew’s place in East Nashville was absolutely perfect! I can’t think of one thing I would complain about. This was my first time using Airbnb... I was very hesitant about staying at a complete strangers house. I have visited Nashville a few times but always stayed in hotels. However, this time I needed a place I could bring my 3 dogs while we explored the area.
After a 10 hour drive with kids and dogs, I was very worried about running into complications checking in, safety, the neighborhood and so forth... I must say all my hesitancy and uncomfortableness was put at ease from the moment we unpacked the car and settled in!
Check in and check out was so easy! Andrew responds to messages super fast and is very welcoming! The house was exactly as pictured! The back yard is big and has an adorable patio area, the neighborhood is super quiet and calm, and feels safe even late at night, neighbors were friendly, we felt completely safe walking our dogs around the block and we were super close to all that Nashville has to offer!
While out exploring we visited Fanny’s House of Music. The staff was so very welcoming and encouraging! The owners let my daughter perform a song on one of their vintage guitars for the staff and other customers! It was really cool! Then they took the time to tell us about all the theater, music, and art programs offered for kids/teens around the area. We must have spent well over an hour just chatting with the staff. They really helped seal our decision to relocate in the not too distant future.
On the food side of things... Five Points pizza was delicious! Fantastic service! Almost just as tasty as our favorite pizza place where we currently live. We tried the coffee place around the corner because so many other reviewers mentioned it but it was just so so, we didn’t like our drinks but we drank them anyway because they were over priced, like way more expensive than Starbucks and not as good but that’s just our opinion, everyone likes different things. We also tried Mikes Ice Cream and Coffee downtown Nashville and it was awesome way better than Starbucks and not overpriced! Elliston’s soda shop is always a favorite of ours as well for some yummy burgers and decent service (not necessarily the cleanest place but it is so delicious we don’t care). We also tried I Dream of Weenie... let me just say those were the best hotdogs we’ve ever had and we don’t really like hotdogs all that much! The little shops around East Nashville are cute and for the most part, the staff are friendly. There are lots of very artistic murals around the area as well, making for some cool photo stops.
Clearly, I could go on and on about how perfect our visit was! I will certainly make sure to book Andrew’s place for any future visits we make!
