Deidre's place was sufficient for what we needed when our other accommodations fell through last minute. The location was fairly close to most places we'd want to be near as tourists (e.g. Broadway or The Gulch). We also felt safe in this neighborhood which I feel is worth mentioning given the reputation of AirBnbs in Nashville. However, I do feel there are some things that need to be said about this listing.
- I agree with another review that stated this listing is overpriced for the quality. Although I guess you can technically say this is a three bedroom home, the third bedroom is on the second floor which is almost more of a loft area as the ceiling is low and slanted in conjunction with the roof. The third bedroom adjacent to this loft area gave me more "larger version of Harry Potter's closet vibes" (my friend who slept in the room had to duck her head to go in and out of the doorway to it). Also, the bathroom sink is tiny, too small to comfortably wash your face in and you don't have vanity space to keep anything on it.
- The air conditioning was fine during our stay as the Nashville weather itself was pretty nice however I imagine the house would be very hot during the summer as the air didn't circulate very well. It was a little musty and the air seemed stagnant when we arrived there mid-day when the temperature was in the high 70s.
- The driveway is gravel and goes downhill as you walk from the street to the house. Not great for walking on at night, one of us tripped and fell coming home one evening.
- Similar to another past guest, this home definitely did not align with my expectations of cleanliness. On our last night, we found what we believed was RODENT FECES on the second floor. We chose to stay this last night and contact AirBnb the next morning after checkout as it was late and we had no transportation/no place to go if we had to leave. The cleaning fee for this property is $250 which already seems high given that this house is very small but the fact that there are issues with it actually being clean proves that is an extreme overcharge. Of note, when we contacted AirBnb about this, they told us this property had already been flagged for this issue in the past.
If I'm paying $999+ to stay somewhere for only three nights, I am going to hold it to a high standard and unfortunately this standard was not met. The cleanliness is a big deal for me and because of that, this wouldn't be my first choice of places to stay in Nashville.
