Nate is truly an amazing host. We went through several reviews prior to booking and noted a pretty high level of extremely positive ratings. After staying here, we now understand why they were so stellar.
We had a fairly challenging relocation from CA to TN, which included a longer than expected stay prior to being able to move into our new home. My wife and I both work from home and needed a comfortable and quiet place from which to keep tabs on our work responsibilities plus a high energy dog. It's tough to know for sure if an AirBnB is going to actually be good, particularly from the other side of the country. But from day one, we could tell this was the real deal.
The house is cozy to be sure, but it's intelligently planned out and updated with the right selection of technology and comforts. Great furniture, all the necessary kitchen items, a huge TV, reliable high speed WiFi, and astonishingly quiet, possibly due to the newer windows installed in addition to the pre-existing windows. It feels a bit like a nice cabin.
Nate is super friendly and does a superb job of respecting your privacy and being responsive to any questions or concerns that may arise. He'll offer up a good BBQ recommendation or even insights into the middle Tennessee weather patterns if you like. For us, inside of 10 minutes we felt like we had known Nate for years. He honestly couldn't have been a better host.
There's a great parking spot just in front of the side door to the house that works perfectly. Backing in is the optimal choice for sure, which makes it easy to unload groceries and whatnot. The yard is a great size and perfect to let your dog run a few laps to stretch his/her legs. The neighborhood is fine as well with friendly neighbors and most people waving as they drove past while we were walking our dog, which we did most every morning and evening. There are also a lot of restaurants in the area as well as what became our preferred coffee/tea shop (District Coffee) during our stay. It only takes about 5 minutes to get to the freeway, mostly via neighborhood streets and the local Krogers takes about the same amount of time.
If you're planning a relocation to TN (SMART move!) or other extended stay in the Nashville area, I highly recommend this house/host if available. This one gets five completely filled in stars for sure!
