This is a very different airbnb experience. Although I have stayed at many, many airbnbs, I've never had to provide a credit card for extras which might be incurred and I have never had to photograph my driver's license for the host. If you are ok with that and the high price of this facility, then, by all means, book with them. The extra requirements felt like a privacy invasion to me. They also took a bite of time out of my trip for check-in. (Usually with Airbnb, I feel I have everything done and taken care of before embarking.) I contacted Airbnb support before checking in to make sure they backed this "off airbnb" procedure and, after a lot of time on the phone, they confirmed that this hotel was reputable and this was a safe practice. (I would have rather cancelled with a full refund, but I was not given that option.) To be fair, hotels in the area of downtown Nashville have high price tags, so the price of this airbnb is comparable to hotels. This airbnb is a converted and updated apartment complex. The rooms have a funky vibe and this place is considered a boutique hotel. It is a nice look and there is a balcony available to view the goings-on in the downtown streets. There is an outdoor courtyard with cornhole games. There is parking on site -- but only for one vehicle. If you have two vehicles, you must pay to park nearby. We had an issue with air conditioning when we arrived -- it wasn't working. However, a very pleasant repairman arrived within 10 minutes and had the problem resolved in another 10 minutes. Their response to a call for help was stellar. The repairman also brought a fan to cool the apartment while we waited for the air to ramp up. One other point for visitors: this is a noisy area. You are in downtown Nashville and there will be traffic, firetrucks, ambulances and party busses with screaming bachelorettes. You will hear them. You will also be close to very nice restaurants -- so that is your trade-off.
