Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: King Bed


Renovation completed 2020. Experience the musical magic of Nashville from this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental condo that sleeps 6! Located deep in scenic and historic Hillsboro Village just two miles from downtown, this unit offers quick access to the best of Nashville without the noise and crowds of downtown.


Our unit features a musically inspired living space, outfitted with clean furnishings and music inspired art to create a truly Nashville experience. The full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a Keurig coffee machine combined with a seating peninsula makes preparing and eating any meal a breeze. Rest and relax in the living room. Make yourself comfortable on the plush sectional sofa while you stream your favorite show on the flat-screen Smart TV. Upstairs, the unit features 2 private bedrooms complete with a Jack and Jill style bathroom that allows everyone their own sink and vanity and provides shared private toilet and tub. Downstairs guests can enjoy another full bathroom located conveniently next to the kitchen and living room. The sleeper sofa sleeps an additional two guests.


Hillsboro Village is a slice of southern charm tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Nashville. Eat dinner like a local at the historic Brown’s Diner which has continuously served Nashvillians since 1927 when it opened as a mule drawn trolley car. Other local restaurants are the famous Pancake Pantry and coffee enthusiast haven Fido. Don’t forget to consider eating brunch at Biscuit Love or Ruby Sunshine. The Grilled Cheeserie offers a unique and memorable lunch experience. The Village also hosts familiar favorites like Hopdoddy, Double Dogs, Jeni’s, and Crumbl Cookies. Provisions are plentiful as well with a Kroger grocery store and Village Wines located a short walk away down tree lined 21st Avenue. Looking for something to do? The Belcourt Theatre has been operating in the Village since 1925 and screens a variety of films every day. AnzieBlue, AB, offers regular live music performances. On a sunny day it’s hard to beat Fannie Mae Dees Park, better known to locals as Dragon Park for its large mosaic dragon sculpture. Shopping opportunities abound with the Village’s flower shop, jewelry stores, and numerous clothing shops like Posh, Altar’d State, Molly Green, Rebecca James, Dress Up, Festivity, UAL, and the Nash Collection. All of this is located in just a small 5 block radius largely in beautiful, historic brick buildings. Several distinctive artworks and murals ad to the ambience of the neighborhood.


Nearby and within walking distance is Vanderbilt University and its medical center. Also nearby is the commercial district at 12th South, Belmont University, Music Row, and Nashville's Centennial park and full sized replica parthenon. The Village is located less than two miles from the heart of Nashville’s downtown scene and the trip can be made by foot, Nashville’s WeGo’s Number 7 Bus which runs every 20 minutes, car, or rental bike.


Downtown Nashville is home to a potpourri of exciting attractions. Pay homage to the legends at the Country Music Hall of Fame or get tickets for a show at the Ryman Auditorium. See a show at the Ascend Amphitheater or take in some history at the Tennessee State Museum.

Great Location

The location of this property is fantastic! Very cute neighborhood, walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Short drive to downtown. There were three of us traveling, which is the perfect size for this condo as there's only seating for 3 in the living room. The walls are a bit thin, we could clearly hear the residents behind us when in the bedroom that shared a wall. We had a few hiccups at check in that the host was able to resolve relatively quickly.

Good location, bad management

The property is located conveniently in a nice neighborhood next to Vanderbilt. However, there are a number of things that were not great, including size, accessibility, cleanliness, and communication. As other reviewers mention some of the units have two flights of steep, slippery and uneven outside stairs to access the apartment. The rental is smaller than it looks in the images. Barely enough space for three people to sit in the living room at once.But the real problem was that the unit had not been cleaned when we arrived at the designated check in time at 3pm. There was a pile of dirty towels in the kitchen, the bed linens had not been changed, the kitchen and bathroom trash had not been emptied etc. The host was initially responsive and said it had never happened before (though I later saw reviews to the contrary). After a long day traveling my mom(who is a senior) wanted to rest. We had planned to make dinner at the rental and catch up, but we couldn’t do any of that because the service didn’t arrive until 6:50 pm and was cleaning and doing laundry until well after 9pm. I was mortified and felt bad for the person cleaning who did not speak English and had not been told by the host why they were asked to come. The host never checked in to see if the issue was resolved. When I asked about a partial refund for the wasted day, never responded. A week later she reached out asking me not to leave a review unless it was a 5 star which explain the lack of bad reviews here.

Not as Clean as it Looks

Pros: Location, safety, and communication were good. It is within walking distance to food and shops. Very convenient. But it is a college town, and the driving around is pretty cramped, and the neighbors were a little noisy on Friday night. Since we were on the second floor, and the door locked as you closed it, it made me feel safer. No issues finding the place and getting inside. Cons: The lingering smell of cleaning chemicals for the entire stay, even after airing out the apartment during breakfast. Did not feel clean. Only the high touch point areas looked to be cleaned. Everything else was not clean and very dusty. The apartment is much smaller than the pictures show. This rental is really only good for two adults and we had three. I was disappointed in how dirty I found common areas, like the bathroom floor had a lot of hair on it when we arrived. The bedrooms' lamps were so dusty that they had not been cleaned in 6 months, and we found pillows and blankets with weird stains on them. So I didn’t feel things were that clean after that. Overall, for quick stay in Nashville, the location is ideal, but if you are okay with not the cleanest amenities, this will work for you.

Road trip - Nashville stay

Excellent property in a lovely neighbourhood in Hillsboro which had a relaxed vibe with excellent bar & restaurant options. Used Lyft for easy downtown access & return to property although bus service 5 mins walk away if you wish. Ease of contact with owner. All was fabulous although drawer space in bedrooms would have been good. Fully recommend

The worst VRBO experience we’ve had with exceptionally poor customer service

This stay was dreadful from the beginning when we arrived, well after check-in time, to discover the unit had clearly not been cleaned. The host could not be reached. VRBO customer service was no help at all but said we had to give the host 24 HOURS to remedy the situation. We had to get a hotel room. When I told the host we needed a refund so we could find accommodations, she refused. She never once apologized and ignored several of my messages. I was never reimbursed for the night we had to stay elsewhere and was never notified when the unit was finally ready for us. I had to ask. The listing photos give the impression that the unit is more spacious than it is. Four adults cannot sit in the living room. The only positive to this stay was good water pressure. I would give a zero for dealing with this host.

The property was in a great location. We had availability of eating and shopping with in walking distance. It wasn’t too far from the main part of Nashville. I little disappointed in not knowing if the dishwasher worked for it was not attached correctly. Was afraid to use the washer and dryer for the front of the dryer was off and to the side. We didn’t contact the owner, we assumed all would be ready in working order and the way they looked we didn’t want to take a chance.

Weekend getaway.

Stay was good. Pros-beds were king size and comfortable. Plenty of pillows to choose from. Sheets were soft. I appreciated the separate sink from toilet area. Decorated nicely, and good location. The cons- not many. Just the ceiling fan in our bedroom was noisy, and the bath mat in the downstairs bathroom was still wet from a previous stay, should be replaced.

Great location, very dissatisfied with condo

The location is great, but the condo is very small even with a family of 4 with teens. The kitchen was not stocked with any drinking glasses or silverware, as described. The washer and dryer needs replaced asap, the dishwasher was not even anchored so would move every time it was opened, not enough seating for 4 people in living room, A/C was so loud in living room and could not hear the TV when on. No cable tv, beds were so hard and pillows awful. Very disappointing from the pictures and descriptions.

About the host

Hosted by Molly Scovel

Host profile image
Clark and I moved to Nashville from South Dakota back in 1993. We fell in love with the community. It is warm most months of the year. This is a good family friendly community with so many healthy things to do.
Hiking, athletic events, art community and so many things to enjoy.
Nashville values education and so do we.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because of the location. You can walk to everything. Vandy, Belmont, Music Row, shopping, restaurants, live music.
18 minute cab ride from the airport and once your there you can walk to everything. If you want to go downtown Nashville it's a 10 minute Uber ride.
Good safe neighborhood. Great location to enjoy all Nashville has to offer.
