One of the upstairs bedrooms comes with its own private deck. This house is a great destination for traveling families, friend reunions, or business travel!

Great home & location - needs some care

First, this home is so nicely decorated and perfect for 3 couples. It’s a 5 min walk to 12 South restaurants and shops. We stayed here before and loved it, so we came back - and this time the house was run down quite a bit. Needs a fresh coat of paint (water stains on ceilings, walls banged up), and very limited kitchen supplies.

Great location in Nashville 12 th street

We truly enjoyed our stay. The host {Neal}was quick to respond to questions. Location was great with walking distance to 12th street with restaurants and shops. Neat neighborhood. The house was perfect for a larger group or family with great outdoors. Bedrooms were perfect and fit our family's needs. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely rent again.

Perfect for Girls Weekend!

My girl friends and I decided to come back to Nashville for a college reunion and this was the PERFECT house! It fit all 9 of us perfectly with plenty of space and bathrooms. The neighborhood was lovely and just a short walk to 12 south. We were even able to make the walk to Zanies one night. The house was very clean and had plenty of towels which is always a plus. Would highly recommend to friends and family!

Best location in Nashville

This property was a super short Uber to Broadway (under 10 min), but far enough to have a quiet street and a couple nearby food shops that were walkable. Publix nearby. House was clean and perfectly spaced for our group of 6. Oh and the towels were so soft! Plenty of extra towels, bedding, and toiletries. Thank you!

Prime location

Location is perfect. A couple blocks from all the 12 South restaurants perfect for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Also found ourselves 10-15 min car ride from anything. Downtown, Green Hills, Cheekwood. Owner was very responsive. Just a few things I would call out. Mattress upstairs is not the most comfortable. Upstairs HVaC registers were loud and blew directly onto the bed. No garbage disposal in the kitchen. Definitely an older home (which was in description) but has tons of charm. Overall would recommend for families but next time will book something more updated as is more of a personal preference.

Dissapointing!!

The GOOD: great location in a nice neighborhood! The BAD & The UGLY: Upon our arrival (after a 9 hour drive) we found the house to be in complete disarray...trash left everywhere from previous renters, beds unmade, towels on the floor....etc. I called the owner and he admitted he forgot to schedule the cleaning from previous renters. The cleaning people showed up, so we went outside for a couple hours so the cleaning people could clean (looking at the cleaning supplies they brought with them, I am not sure how much they actually cleaned, I think they mainly picked up & did laundry so we could have clean sheets and towels). The house was a disappointing in the fact that it is clearly in need of some updating and some MAJOR cleaning! There were no cleaning supplies on site-so it was hard to actually clean the kitchen after using or any other room for that matter. Here are just a few things we experience during our stay.....the kitchen faucet leaked (a baking dish was full of water under the sink when we arrived, so had to be dumped periodically), the dishwasher & garbage disposal did not work, the blow up mattress had a hole in it, so we couldn't use it ( one of the couples had to sleep on the couch), we had to wash any/all dishes, pots, pans prior to using....and don't even get me started on the backyard & deck (which we had to retreat to while the house was being put back together by the cleaning staff). The cute little fire pit in the picture was under the deck full of cob webs. The owners attempt to make this inconvenience right with us was with a very small refund. As an owner of a rental place myself, I would have expected much more than this to make our stay a little more tolerable. I am under the impression that this is clearly just a business to him.

Best of all worlds and the most responsive host!

Me and my family came to Nashville for a wedding and needed a home away from home where we could have a relaxing home base that was walkable to eating, shopping and leisure walking. This place was perfect, great porch, deck and balcony deck. The house had nearly everything we needed and if there was something we wished for/ inquired about, Neil was amazingly responsive and helpful (coffee bean grinder, umbrellas for the day it poured!). We spent time sitting in the living room chatting, and morning coffee in the dining room. The Uber rides were 10-15 minutes to downtown, very easy. Again, Neil was very responsive, even about the smallest detail. I will be recommending this house to friends and family!

The property is rundown and dirty. Not entirely sure that it gets cleaned between guests, just beds.

It was dirty and pretty run down. Pictures make it look much better than it is. The checkin process and manager was easy and that was probably the best part of the experience. I wouldn’t recommend this property

Cute Older Home - PERFECT Location

This home was perfect for our family Thanksgiving celebration. It is perfectly located just a few blocks from South 12th- that is lined with great restaurants and shops. It is 1 mile from our son's dorm at Belmont University and right down the road from Vanderbilt. There are 4 different sitting areas on the first floor -- a lovely, updated living room, a family room with a piano. a nice-sized dining room and a coffee-sitting area in the kitchen. There is also a large deck. The upstairs bathroom has been remodeled and we loved that shower. The master bath is somewhat updated, but the shower is a tub with a curtain- we all used the upstairs bathroom--it is a new walk-in shower with great pressure. We walked everywhere-- it was perfect. We would definitely rent this home again. Thank you!

Easy walking distance to various restaurants and the community park to let the kids play!
