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.

Super fun Southern swing on the porch for winding down in the evenings. The host were very quick and helpful when responding to inquiries.
