The Neighborhood: Vibe: Marathon Village, a unique neighborhood of sorts that has become quite a Nashville hotspot, is made up of a group of 100-year-old warehouse buildings which was originally where the Marathon, a car made in the early 1900s, was built. Fast forward to today, and it has become a complex for artists’, photographers’, and designers’ studios.
Eat: Some of Nashville's best whiskey and spirit makers call Marathon Village home. In between your tasting tours, do stop by The Bang Candy Company for one of their amazing marshmallows. You can thank us later!
Play: Serving as a model of adaptive reuse of historic structures, Marathon Village is one of Nashville's most creative communities -- with more than 45 tenants representing fine, commercial, and performing arts. The building used to house the Marathon Factory back in 1910, which produced the Marathon Automobile. Guests are welcome to browse the facilities to see some of the old remains of this historic building in Music City.
Nearby Areas Include:
• Marathon Village -- walking distance! Nashville Pickers, distillery, coffee, shopping, lots of history!) • Midtown (college bars, Vandy kids, good food) • Germantown (great food, very safe area, former warehouse district) • The Gulch (good eats and shopping) • Lower Broadway ("The Strip", Honkey Tonks, The Ryman, museums, etc.) • Hillsboro Village (no chains, everything in this area is locally owned) • 5 Points (Think Nashville's version of Williamsburg or Silverlake) • 12 South (good eats and shopping)

With that said, we require a 2-hour processing time from the point that your pre-arrival form is completed, to process and approve it, and provide access details. We ask that guests that are booking the same day refrain from arriving before completing the pre-arrival form and confirmation that their reservation has been approved for check-in.
| Locals | Due to restrictions placed on us by our landlord and as a condition pertaining to our ability to host, we are unable to accept reservations from guests local to the area (within 60 miles of the listing's city).

Drastic difference between inside & out
The inside of the condo was nice but the neighborhood looked a little sketchy. Plus, accessing the condo from where we had to park was very difficult.

Pros:-The interior of the apartment is actually decent-You have full amenities you would expect of an apartment for rent-The location of the flat compared to everything listed nearby is accurate and is actually super convenient. We had no problems getting in or out, walking around, or driving around conveniently.-The actual check-in document is SUPER detailed and I appreciate the time spent from the staff making it very easy to understand.-The staff were very quick and helpful with responding to inquiries and messages; also greatly appreciated.The Cons:-This place is honestly disgusting in many ways and I genuinely think a clean freak would not last ten seconds here. There was hair on the bed, mold all over the shower curtains and the ceiling, dirt on the floors, food stuffs in the kitchen sink, and immense amount of dust on the central air vent.-Related to above, there is clogging in the bathroom and right side kitchen sink pipes and the garbage disposal does not work. This also affects the dishwasher which was filled with literal sewage and was absolutely disgusting-The booking process was WAY overcomplicated and honestly suspect to a degree I almost cancelled the trip. That process needs to be simplified and done through Vrbo in my opinion-The area, while seemingly safe, is the edge of what is simply the "rough part of town." Do with that what you will.All in all, it's a decent stay for a short period of time but I would personally go with something nicer.
nashville is great just at first finding where to go in the building

Nashville stay
I had a difficult time getting check in information. Since I booked through VRBO I was looking for email from them. Abode was sending info to my email but it was going to spam. When I called the phone number it was to an Abode office. They requested a copy of my Dr license and a picture of me holding my license. I had to do that 3 times before it was accepted. I was in Nashville for a day before I received the the address and check in info. When we got to the apt it was as pictured and was nice except for the bathroom. The vent fan was covered in dust, the shower curtain was moldy and the floor was dirty. The place was not really in walking distance to anything and not in the best neighborhood to walk in. If VRBO is “by owner” doesn’t that rule out companies like Abode?

Thank you Susan for taking the time to leave us your feedback! Glad to hear you liked our apartment though trully sorry to hear you did not have the experience we would have wanted you to have. Regarding the check in email, I do see it was sent at 4pm 10/26 for your check in date 10/27. I see you mentioned you were already on your way to Nashville on 10/26. About the photos, given that we have self check in units and no front desk to verify your information, thus we request these to be submitted ahead of time. Please know we do this to ensure the cardholder is actually the person booking. When guests don't have the proper credentials, we had to cancel this to avoid chargebacks from the cardholder. About the vent, sorry this is the first time we hear about it. Do know that as part of our regular maintenance, all the filters in all our units have been replaced within the past 2 weeks. Do know that if we received any complaints during your 4night's stay, we would have sent our cleaning contractors immediately as we have a very high standard of cleaning hence have employed a company of good repute to ensure this is done. Please know that "Abode" is our company and we are the lessee of the unit you have booked. We started out as husband and wife with a few units and had been doing the cleaning and communications ourselves. With growth, we needed a team to help us ensure all our guests are assisted to in a very timely manner hence the company was established. About the area, I am a young professional woman and have been walking these up and coming neighborhood with no fear, as had many of our guests. Hope this clarifies and again our apologies Susan! We hope you could stay with us again next time and we would love to exceed your expectations! All the best, Alex + Abode Team
