Overall, I enjoyed my stay in Nashville! The unit itself is a very nice, spacious one bedroom apartment, great for any small family/ single who is traveling.
Pros:
- clean, modern apartment. Nice kitchen, spacious bathroom. The unit matches the photos and is very pleasant.
- located about a mile from broadway street/ downtown( if that’s your thing).
- great air conditioning unit
Cons:
- no laundry in the unit or building. For longer stays this becomes a problem, I unfortunately had to spend a decent amount of time at a laundromat, which is about 3 miles away.
- while the location is close to downtown, it’s located in a slightly rough area. Very poorly lit at night and not heavily trafficked.
- very unlikely to be any on site staff. Cleaning crews yes, but any other assistance will require a phone call/ text. Normally not an issue, however this company uses electronic locks, which expire nightly. I took my dog to use the bathroom at 1:30 in the morning and my “latch link” expired at some point while I was out. I was locked out of my unit for 35 minutes while waiting to get support on the phone. Thankfully I was in the building, but had I been outside, I would have been locked out in a poorly lit area in the middle of the night. I’ll say that again, I had my phone with me, I knew my code, but my link expired as didn’t refresh until the next morning, so I was essentially just waiting for support to get back to me, in the middle of the night. Always have your phone with you when there are electronic latches, but even that sometimes won’t be enough.
- On my 2nd to last night I took my dog out to use the restroom around 11:30 pm, and there was a very strange man there roaming the halls. He was dressed as a security guard, and mentioned he was such, the minute he saw me he started talking my ear off about his mental disability and that he had recently been evicted in Virginia less than two weeks before. In my stay prior I hadn’t ever encountered him, and was very thrown off by the interaction.
- on my last day, a police officer showed up to the building and was attempting to gain access( but couldn’t without a code). We started chatting and while he didn’t tell me why he was there, he seemed very perplexed about the nature of the building/ occupants( all Airbnb units).
Overall I would probably look to book elsewhere on my return to Nashville. While the unit itself is very nice, it didn’t make up for the issues/ oddities encountered. Further, I’d argue overpriced for what you end up getting.
