I can't say enough great things about this place and Michelle! She made check-in a breeze. The house was super clean and she left a little hospitality basket full of things we may need throughout the weekend (so cute!) complete with recommendations for brunch/food/drinks in the area. There was a ton of space in the house for all 12 of us to spread out and there was also a huge fenced in backyard where we were able to play backyard games, have a little campfire (in the firepit), and even a grill to cookout on. Besides hanging out at our house (or downtown), we didn't really spend much time in the neighborhood or East Nashville specifically, so I can't comment on that as much. One of the guests staying with us went for a run in the morning and said the neighborhood was a little run down though. We didn't have any problems and actually we met the neighbors on both sides of us and they were super nice! A couple things that would have been nice to know prior to arriving is that (1) you can absolutely get an uber to downtown from the house for $10 if you only order an UberX. We had 12 people so we needed two UberXL's and those run around $17-20 a trip. Also, (2) the walls inside the house are very thin, just something to keep in mind if you're bringing little children. We had 12 adults so it wasn't an issue at all, but I can see how it might be a problem if someone was getting up at 4AM when everyone else was sleeping. Overall, it was one of the best vacations of my life and if I ever find myself heading to Nashville again, I will most definitely rent out this house again!
