Nice location. AC/Heat very good. Kitchen equipped nicely. Could have used Foil, Saran Wrap, and or ziplocks. The house could use a good cleaning ie: the nitty gritty areas, especially in the bathroom. Also, either buy new washcloths, or use some bleach. The face cloths were not clean, and there no hand towels. We had a nice visit.

The location worked great for us. Just enough out of the busy areas of downtown but close enough to be in walking distance of amenities. It was clean and provided all the very basic necessities. The downsides to the property was the bathroom and beds. The 1 bathroom is tiny with zero counter space and proved quite challenging to navigate for the three of us ladies staying there. The beds were not particularly comfortable. I had a difficult time sleeping as did my daughters. I think it may have been the polyester bed sheets which made it really hot and required pumping the AC all night.

Great location! It worked great for my family to be pretty central to lots of things we wanted to do. The cottage itself was charming, but could use some updating, especially the bathroom, while still keeping the charm. I'd recommend a deeper clean between guests too. It wasn't dirty necessarily, but lots of dusty areas, grime in the cracks, and things left under furniture from previous guests.

The house is located in a wonderful walkable neighborhood. The house is old but charming and comfortable. The bathroom is really small but there are other mirrors to get ready at. We didn’t cook but the kitchen has lots of utensils and dishes. The washer and dryer are in good condition and worked well. The hosts were responsive and allowed us to check in a little early to meet our flight schedules.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay and the house was comfortable. There are a few areas that could be improved, particularly with cleaning, as some areas were a bit dusty and the shower tub could be better maintained. The kitchen could also benefit from a few additional amenities, such as an electric kettle, to make it more convenient for guests. With a little extra attention to these details, this would be an even nicer place to stay.

The property is wonderful, vintage, perfect location and off street parking was fabulous! Communication with the host was perfect and everytime I asked a question or had a comment they always respond within minutes. The house is clean and the beds are super comfortable. There are many places to eat/drink within walking distance. We were out walking the neighborhood every night of our stay. We had a wonderful stay and I would choose this property again if/when we come back again.

In Nashville for Southern Festival of Books. Location was perfect. Also loved all the restaurants close by. Cottage was cozy and comfortable. Bathroom could use an upgrade - was not as clean as we would have liked but think this was because everything is so old. Snacks and water were appreciated. We would stay here again, primarily because of the location.

Charming vintage cottage in a beautiful, historic neighborhood just minutes for the action of downtown Nashville. The house was nicely decorated, had guest amenities, and was very comfortable. Super fun Southern swing on the porch for winding down in the evenings. The host were very quick and helpful when responding to inquiries.

The property is very run down. The bathroom is small to say the least. Tub faucet is difficult to control water flow in tub.Toilet is small good for little kids. Kitchen stove is from an another century I was afraid to use it.House needs work. On a plus size it was very convenient to Downtown Nashville.
