My friend and I come to Nashville every year. We enjoyed how easy it was to check-in to Marianne's place. It was very clean and tidy and the back, the private porch was a huge plus! The area was very safe as well with a park nearby. The apartment was very cold, which was something I appreciated. I'm sure if you wanted it a little warmer a quick text to Marianne would solve it, but I really liked it. There were also little white noise makers next to each bed which was a nice touch. The bathroom was clean and the kitchenette with snacks and drinks was very nice. I was also surprised to see a fridge in the apartment; it was not as "mini" as described. I was expecting a college dorm tabletop fridge and Marianne's was larger. While I did not drink any coffee, the coffee bar was a nice touch. Quick and cheap Uber ride to downtown, which was nice. There is a book with suggestions of places to go for various things such as food or groceries, which I thought was very helpful.
The only con that I would mention is the noise level upstairs. You can hear the host walking around or smell the breakfast cooking in the morning. I am assuming there are hardwood floors upstairs. If you are a light sleeper and/or enjoy sleeping past 6am, you might want to bring some earplugs. We expected some noise level as it is a basement apartment, but it was a little noisier than we expected.
Overall, it was a great location. I would recommend this place to a friend, if they don't mind an early riser upstairs.
