Don't miss this historic home that is close to Vanderbilt, walking distance to Belmont, and walkable to everything 12th South has to offer! \*Please note that there is a permanent tenant living in the upstairs apartment.\* The two sections of the home are completely separate so your rental is 100% private. The Layout: This charming historic house is brimming with character and personality, with features like original floor in the dining and living rooms, European type furnishings, and beautiful large windows. This space is one story and sleeps a total of 8.  There are two bedrooms, one of which has two queen beds while the other has two twin beds.  There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room for an additional two guests. Guests will have 100% private access to the first floor. \*Please note that there is a permanent tenant living in the upstairs apartment.\* The two sections of the home are completely separate so your rental is 100% private.

Lyft and Uber can get you where you need for a pretty low price!  Getting Around: Don't miss a margarita at Bartaco, a 2-4-1 draft beer and a pizza slice the size of your face at Mafiaoza's, the most amazing and to-die-for tiramisu at Bella Napoli, and the highest in-demand burger at Burger Up (They have truffle fries! Do I need to say anything else?)  This location has it all and is super close to other areas of town like The Gulch, Downtown, Sylvan Park, The Nations, Music Row, & East Nashville! For those of you not bringing a car, don't sweat it!  You'll only spend around $7-$10 using Uber or Lyft to get to downtown and just about any other location in Nashville you'll need!

Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Well equipped and great location but..... This property is in a great location and is well equipped from a furniture and kitchen perspective. Unfortunately, the property struggles from a functional perspective. The hot water was challenging the entire stay and really never worked in the bathroom sink. A door knob fell off and wasn't fixed (despite the fact maintenance came to fix it). The most disappointing aspect was on Thanksgiving. We had family over to the property only to find the oven does not work. Had to split up and get food cooked at another location. Lastly, access to the trash bins in the back alley is very awkward. No access through the back gate..you literally have to walk down the main street and get alley access. Again, enjoyed our stay from a location standpoint but this property needs some work. ##### Kevin K. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Donna P. Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Bate and Switch What a dump! The front stairs are crumbling and do not have a railing. If you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you! The front door had 5 (FIVE) stickers asking the renter to make sure the glass door was closed so the wind didn't catch it and break the glass. Perhaps, FIXING the front storm door would have been a better option than all the notes both inside and outside. The floors were in poor shape. The ceiling was sagging. The paper lamps all had tears. The bedding wasn't comfortable. The single bathroom had a small shower. Overall the property was in very poor shape both inside and outside. Pictures were obviously taken years ago. The only bright spot during our stay was the location.... which was very close to the restaurants and shopping on 12 South. I DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING AT THIS LOCATION! ##### Donna P.
