All in all we had a great time and really liked the house, but there were some hurdles that we had to deal with. We did love the décor and the layout is the house. The rooftop area is a very nice amenity!
Below is a list that I sent Brandon at the end of our trip.... I didn't get a response until I followed up 2 additional times. It made me feel as if our issues weren't valid. When he finally responded he said he wanted me to tell him earlier... some of the issues came up and the end of the trip and I felt that I would take the opportunity to let him know about the rest... honestly, we probably would have not said anything had the ceiling not started leaking water and we were able to travel home with dry clothing.
*when we arrived we bought quite a bit of food on the way over only to find out the fridge wouldn’t cool. We had to call maintenance out for the next morning because it wasn't an 'emergency' at 7 PM, causing us to lose the dairy and bacon in the fridge. The fridge coils had to be cleaned. Regular home maintenance would prevent something like this.
* There was a leak in the ceiling on the 3rd floor in the bathroom. Building maintenance did not want to come out the night we called....and it got worse overnight.
* We tried to dry a load of clothes for over 6 hours. We traveled home with wet clothes in our suitcase. Again, regular maintenance would help to prevent something like this.
* We had to purchase additional garbage bags, hand soap, and detergents because we were left were very little. Hand soap in a pandemic seems like a must to me.... We were out of paper towels. There are no hand towels for the kitchen, dish cloths or hot pads. We have tried to wash the bathroom linens we had to use in the kitchen, but they wouldn't dry.
*It seems the house could use a VERY DEEP cleaning. I understand it is a popular rental, but deep down…… it is dirty. The kitchen closets have quite a bit of dirt on the floor. The stairs we sticky when we arrived. The rug in the kitchen is clearly very dirty.
*We made the best of what we had, but the kitchen is lacking quite a few essentials. Can opener, spatulas, etc. I had better pans in my first apartment.
All in all, the layout of the house was great and accommodated our needs! The neighborhood didn't feel like the safest, but we didn't have any issues. Because we went on a holiday weekend Uber rides were running about $45 for a car of 6. We will be back to Nashville, but we will for sure be staying closer to Broadway.
