This is a basement apartment, not a whole house as the listing implied when we rented it (hopefully that will be corrected). Due to the noise, in addition to cleanliness issues, we were only able to stay 1 of the 3 nights we paid for. We were at least refunded the cleaning fee, but I would definitely not stay at an Evolve property again.
Pros:
- The location was very convenient to east Nashville amenities, and it was easy to get in and out of.
- The bed was comfortable, and kitchen was well-supplied if we had been able to stay long enough to use it.
- The owner went out of her way to accommodate a special bedding request.
- Communication with the owner (Melissa) was prompt and courteous.
Cons:
- There is no insulation or sound dampening between floors, so you hear everything that's going on upstairs. Based on the owner's communication, they had guests in town during our stay, and will not book it when they have guests in the future, so this may be improved for subsequent guests. For us, it meant we were awakened every few hours throughout the night.
- The apartment had not been cleaned well; the shower in particular was dirty and blood-stained.
- There were holes in the walls and other repair issues.
The owner seems to be working hard to mitigate some of the negative issues we experienced, so I hope future guests will have a more pleasant experience than we did.
