What’s good: a charming apartment in a great location. Steps from Hattie B’s Hot Chicken (#1 rated in Nashville on Yelp), the Stillery, and several other bars and restaurants. Easily accessible free parking. Cute “southern” style decor, without being too over-the-top. Shower got nice and hot and had excellent water pressure. The apartment was clean. AC window units in the living room and bedroom work beautifully. Neighbors are friendly. Blake was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly to texts.
Be aware (as mentioned in the stay description, so don't be surprised): the apartment is super old and hasn’t been remodeled in 80 years. The floorboards creak, the doors stick, and the paint is peeling. I agree with the other reviewer that all the outlets are 2-prong only, without a ground prong. While yes, there were a couple 2 to 3 prong adapters scattered throughout the apartment, they were being occupied by the refrigerator, AC, etc. There is no outlet in the bathroom. There is no Wi-Fi, but cell service is 5 bars and blazing fast on both AT&T and T-Mobile. This is MIDtown, not DOWNtown, so if you are looking for the neon lights and hubbub of Broadway street in Downtown, you are looking in the wrong neighborhood!
A few reasons I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, all of which can be easily remedied before the next person’s stay:
1. There was hand soap, shampoo (head & shoulders), conditioner (Suave), and body lotion (equate), but no body wash / shower gel.
2. There was a Keurig machine but only 1 k-cup left (for a 2-night, 2-person stay). There was a dirty / used k-cup left in the machine. We don’t mind bringing our own k-cups, but should be told that only the machine is provided and not the coffee if that is the case.
3. There is algae growing in the bottom of the water reservoir for the Keurig.
4. The dowel for the blinds in the bathroom needs to be replaced. Blinds were open upon arrival and I had to climb on the ledge of the tub to close them by hand.
5. There is no full-length mirror.
So as you can see, there are just a few issues that make this 4 stars instead of 5, and I’m sure they will be remedied before your stay!
