WOW - We truly have nothing but amazing things to say about our recent stay at Mary’s place. From the initial time of contacting Mary to book the reservation, all the way to the moment we walked out of the door, Mary went above and beyond to provide the most comfortable and cozy accommodations for us. Initially, we booked Mary’s airbnb from December 31st - January 3rd and this reservation process was quick, easy, and she was very responsive. Shortly after, our travel plans changed on our end and we needed a place to stay December 29th and 30th… I messaged Mary asking if those dates were available and she was not only very responsive, but also extremely accommodating and made sure that the price was adjusted correctly so that we wouldn’t be charged 2x for the cleaning and service fee (something that Mary herself caught- I wouldn’t have noticed if we were charged 2x). She made this process extremely easy for us and was a delight before our stay even started! Once we arrived in Nashville, we notified Mary and asked if we could check in earlier that the posted check-in time which was 3pm. She quickly responded with all of the necessary check-in information, directions and description of the airbnb, and told us we were more than welcome to check-in early. Upon arrival to the airbnb, we were delighted by what we saw. ROOM: The room was clean, well lit, organized, and cozy! There was a bowl of fresh fruit and breakfast bars on the front table, underneath the table there was coffee cups, tea cups, coffee, and a coffee maker, as well as paper towels, water bottles, and gatorade. And it doesn’t stop there…. in the bathroom there was newly purchased toiletries (such as toothbrushes, mouthwash, floss sticks, shampoo and conditioner, and feminine hygiene products). The bathroom was stocked with enough toilet paper, clean towels, and anything else that we might have needed during our stay. The closet was huge 😍There was plenty of room not just for clothes and shoes and jackets, but also for our two large suitcases, plus one carry on sized suitcase, and our backpacks. The closet also had games, travel brochures of Nashville hotspots, restaurants, and more, as well as an iron and an ironing board. Lastly, the bed was clean, comfortable as heck, and the perfect size for my partner and I. LOCATION: It was in a prime location, just 10 minutes away from the heart of downtown Nashville. This was great as we used Uber or Lyft to get around the city and it was never too expensive (even on NYE) to get an Uber into the city and back. It was very convenient. It is close to the freeway so we did sometimes hear some “freeway noises” at night, but it was not disruptive at all. SAFE: The entire place was gated/ fenced and it was extremely well locked up and secured. I felt very safe every time we went in and out of our airbnb. The yard was very well lit and the fireplace (that we sadly didn’t get to use because we never got around to it) was properly equipped with fire starter wood, firewood, and a lighter. MARY: She was by far the best Airbnb host, and maybe even host in general (don’t tell my older sister that) that I have ever had. She was attentive, responsive, thoughtful, considerate, and extremely respectful of our privacy and space. There was one day where the weather was really yucky and it was raining and cold, and as we’re sluggishly getting ready to mobilize, we hear a light knock on our door. It was Mary, standing in the pouring rain holding a tray of hot coffee, chocolate pastries, and some creamer for us… She told us that she felt bad that we had crappy weather and wanted to make sure we were okay. This is just ONE example of her kindness. As you can see, I could go on and on about Mary and her beautiful Airbnb, but I don’t want to spoil it for you - you gotta experience it for yourself! If you’re planning a trip to Nashville and you want to stay somewhere that is convenient, cozy, clean, and the host goes above and beyond, Mary’s is the place to stay. Thank you again Mary for such a wonderful time… we will 100% be coming back to stay here again the next time we’re in Nashville.
