First with the bad: Wow, was this ad misleading. The condo is hardly "hip" and this is not an area to "explore downtown Nashville" from. My friends and I were warned by no less than 3 uber drivers in the first 2 days about "this part of town". I've never had an uber driver warn me about where I was staying in that manner before. Those warnings were confirmed when on our third day there was a shooting within 1 block of the apartment, meanwhile trains come through within 50 yards of the complex at all hours of the night....
Now to the items more in the host's control: The floors were separating between boards exposing plenty of subflooring, blankets unclean (not just dirt, roomate suggested body fluids stains), microwave not working, chipping bathroom paint (~25% of the shower), Roku was unusable the entire weekend, unclean glasses (not water stains, actually gross stuff left in bottom of glass), beds stiff and creaky.
To the host's credit: Communication was top notch. I was well informed about how to access the building (even though there were three separate codes to get back each time (Gate around the building, door to enter building, door to enter apartment) and none were similar, so just frustrating), and communication was timely. However, an application on a separate website was required, not just through airbnb, so, also frustrating - not sure if that's usual, but it's a first for me.
Admittedly, for the concerns we had above, we did not contact the owner during our stay as it would not have been beneficial to our brief stay to get entangled in any of that; we just cleaned the glasses we needed, didn't microwave anything, didn't use the spoiled blankets, and suffered streaming on our tiny phone screens while making due with the cheapest of toilet paper man can find.
Do not recommend. I guess in saying "first with the bad" implies good will follow.... oops. Other than the good communication not a lot I can say on that front.
