I’ll start this review by saying we were 5 Louisiana country girls on a bachelorette trip Saturday-Tuesday. When I say “country girls”, I mean COUN-TRY. We all spend lots of weekends in deer stands, duck blinds, and fishing camps. We can “rough it” with the best of ‘em and do not need fancy accommodations. However, this property was NOT AT ALL AS LISTED!
We got the run around on whether or not we could purchase early check-in up until the evening before, but our real issues arose at check-in. We sat on the porch step for 15 minutes at arrival because the cleaning crew was still working. After becoming impatient, the cleaning crew let us in - because our code would not work. The 2 ladies told us we could go up to the 3rd floor because they needed “20 minutes” to complete cleaning on the bottom 2 floors. 45 minutes later, they wrapped up (only to return twice because they forgot their wallet then their cell phone charger). Immediately, we notified Stay Local because 1. our code wasn’t working 2. the house reeked of smoke. We left both downstairs doors open to try to air out the smell, while waiting for a representative to come out to investigate. (Side note: They sent Ryan who was probably the most pleasant part of our stay there.) The rep was extremely nice and tried to alleviate the issues he could. He furiously sprayed air freshener to help with the odor, fixed our code issue, and offered to have cleaners come out that night, which we declined in order to get our party started.
Our issues continued (keep reading) and we spoke to 2 other representatives who assured us cleaners, plumbers, and pest control were coming to correct the issues, yet we never saw anyone else and when we left Tuesday, all problems remained.
The listing dotes the home as “brand new and stunning”, giving us the impression that it would be at the very least clean. It was far from such. The downstairs bathroom looked as if it hadn’t been wiped down at all with dried toothpaste in the sink and dirt/particles all over the small vanity. The sofa is disgusting, with white particles of lent- or something- all over it. There were spider webs with mosquitos in the corner of the dining room wall by the table. Two of the beds had sheets with visible and disturbing stains (think urine + blood), and one pillow was covered in dark hair. All fixtures and window panes had thick layers of dust. There were not any garbage bags (not even in the trash can). The overall cleanliness was despicable!
The rental listing also referenced it being “private”. Most of the windows on the first floor do not have coverings. Additionally, some bedroom windows on the second and third floors do not have draperies covering the entire window. It further implies the back porch/deck is private, yet someone’s dog was on it in the mornings. Yes, this is not a dealbreaker, but it is worth noting if you want to have privacy, are scared of creepers, or just want to sleep in.
The back door deadbolt did not lock. And again, the smell of smoke was unbearable.

If you’re arachnophobic, this is not the rental for you!!! We stomped our fair share of spiders and saw webs in corners of all floors.
A little FYI for ladies, there isn’t a full-length mirror in the house, so you won’t be able to make sure your booties look cute with your top before heading to Broadway. ;)
There is very little water pressure in the 3rd floor shower... definitely not enough to wash your hair. If no one else in the home is running water, you should be able to get a shower in, though.
The light in master bedroom does not work. The lamps are okay for lighting, but again, not for getting glammed up.
The master bathroom toilet clogged twice, once leaving water all over the floor in the bathroom. At that point, we discontinued use. Who wants to plunge a toilet or step in their besties poop on an bachelorette trip???
Aside from an apology and an “action plan” that was not acted upon, the staff at Stay Local Nashville was of no assistance. When we left 4 days after arrival NONE of the issues had been resolved.
On the positive, the location of the property is convenient. We didn’t walk anywhere, but it was a quick Uber or Lyft ride to everywhere we wanted to go.
