I could not have chosen a better person to stay with on my first time using Airbnb. My two sisters and I arrived late on Friday evening and Valerie was there waiting with a smile on her face (and cookies!). She gave us a tour of the very clean space, which is larger than I expected and equipped with mini fridge, coffee maker and its necessities, microwave, and basic flatware. The queen bed was super comfortable, and while we didn't use it, the TV was perfectly mounted on the adjacent wall. The bathroom had a double sink, a long mirror, and was big enough for all three of us to get ready at once. She literally had everything we needed.
We really liked the location of Valerie's place. We walked half a mile to dinner at Pomodoro East (highly recommended) which was an additional half mile away from the Five Points area and a short cab ride into the downtown area. She is close to train tracks, but it didn't bother any of us. My sister was apprehensive about our stay due to her bad allergies, but Valerie assured us it wouldn't be an issue before our visit, and it wasn't.
Valerie could not have been more friendly and accommodating. We were feeling slightly cold after the sun went down one night and after one text Valerie quickly adjusted the thermostat. We had a little trouble figuring out the WiFi password, but it took ten minutes to resolve. It shouldn't be a problem for anyone else now. She always responded to texts quickly and stayed in touch with us on our drive down.
All in all we had a fantastic trip and staying at Valerie's place was definitely a major contributing factor. I would recommend her place to friends and definitely stay there again if I find myself in Nashville again.
