Mary Brooke was an exceptional host. She was quick to accept our request, sent a detailed email ahead of time to ensure a smooth and easy check-in, answered all of our inquiries before and during the trip and even sent a follow-up email after we left wishing us a safe journey home and welcoming us back at any point in the future.
The house is located in beautiful, woodsy, residential area conveniently located in Hillsboro Village near the Vanderbilt, Belmont and 12 South neighborhoods. The house is single-story, so it doesn't necessarily fit-in with the older, upscale neighborhood in which it is located, but it has been recently updated, has a beautifully landscaped yard and newly built front porch with chairs that is located beneath a canopy of towering trees in the yard and offers a great respite for relaxing and watching the neighborhood pass below. The house has a fenced backyard as well with easy access to the back from both inside the house and a gate in the front yard.
The inside of the house is newly painted and both the kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled as well. The furniture and appliances throughout the house are a collection of used, vintage/retro & IKEA, but all are well maintained and with an eccentric flair. All of the standard kitchen appliances are present plus a Keurig coffeemaker with complimentary coffee and nuts. Plenty of glasses, bowls and plates are available as well. There are two televisions, one in the living room and one in the bedroom with the king bed, and cable and internet are provided as well. All bedrooms had closets, hangers and chest of drawers available for storage also.
This house could easily sleep 6 people, but more could be accommodated if necessary. It is in a wonderful location for people traveling to visit people at Vanderbilt or Belmont, or for people just looking to travel and explore a new city. We had an awesome visit and can not overstate how pleased we were with our stay. In short, we would gladly stay here again if the chance ever arises.
