This was my first experience with airbnb and it was a most pleasant one. Richard communicated with me when I first made the reservation and later we communicated about projected arrival time. It was as if I was visiting a friend in another city.
There was lockbox for the key and I was provided with the code in case Richard was not around when I arrived. As it turned out, he was there and he showed me the rooms. He was helpful in acclimating me to the city personally pointing out local restaurants and he provided a notebook with additional information on getting around Nashville. He was also knowledgable about the music scene and was helpful with that.
Richard was personable but not intrusive and I appreciated that. I was rather busy on this trip and did not have a lot of time to chat but I got the feeling that if I had more time we would have explored a bit more.
The rooms were on the second floor. There was a large bedroom with a queen bed and night tables. There was adequate closet space and dresser space.
There was a living room with a futon, a coffee table, and a small dining table with two chairs. Richard was able to supply a nice blow up mattress for a second visitor. The living room had a large tv and there was a small room off the living room where there was a small fridge and a microwave as well as a coffee maker, some teas and coffee. The living room was also a good size. Both the living room and the bedroom overlooked the front yard in a nice easterly exposure.
The bathroom was large with a small stall shower.
The rooms were clean and comfortable.
The location was really convenient. Being in the "backyard" of the Belmont college campus there were multiple restaurants and a coffee shop within 5 blocks of the house. The Vanderbilt campus is easily reachable on foot along with the hillside area restaurants.
It was a perfect place to be in the Belmont and Vandy area.
While it is not the Ritz, it is large and comfortable with a very nice host.
Thank you Richard for the use of your home and your pleasant personality.
