This is definitely an old house which is clear in the listing! However, the photos and the descriptions on the listing did not match the reality of the house itself. There are a lot of discrepancies including the microwave missing a handle, no fire pit or porch swing, the backyard is overgrown, etc. Since it is an old house, we also spent a lot of time communicating with the host about a variety of issues - we would normally call or text the host once a week about a new issue in the house. With that being said, the host was a good communicator and did respond to our issues in a timely manner. It was frustrating at times to expect a stress-free summer and instead deal with weekly issues.
The location was great! We really enjoyed the Belle Meade area and how close it is to a multitude of amenities and fun places to hang out. The house is also extremely spacious and everyone had their own private areas and also great areas to hang out together. I really enjoyed the sun room attached to master bedroom.
Overall, I have mixed feelings about this listing. I would make sure you read the reviews carefully and decide if the hassle is worth it for a long stay. I would also be honest to the host about any issues in the house as he will work with you.
