12 south property

The house is in a great location to explore all areas of Nashville, walking or via short Uber/taxi rides. Jimmy is an attentive host, checkin was easy, his response to communication and questions was always quick, and he was easily flexible where he could be.

Amazing Nashville Neighborhood

We had a group of 5 couples that travelled to Nashville for an NFL game. While the location wasn't close to the stadium, it was an amazing neighborhood. When the new stadium is built we would love to stay at Jimmy's home. There was plenty of room for all of us to hang out together and quiet places to hand out in smaller groups. The kitchen was well stocked with misc spices, coffee (pods and grounds) and cleaning supplies. The neighborhood is very safe and within walking distance to a few restaurants and coffee shops. We were able to Uber/Lyft very reasonably to Broadway and DT Nashville. There was also ample street parking. Jimmy's home is perfect for larger groups and would be great for families as well. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Wonderful stay for a large group

We arrived in town ahead of schedule and our host was very generous to let us check in early. The house was great for a large group because the bedrooms were spread between all three floors. I like to go to sleep early and wake up early. My friends were able to stay up late and hang out in the basement game room without disturbing me. Because the kitchen has a door that closes, I was able to get up early and enjoy a cup of coffee and make breakfast without disturbing them! Thank you so much to our host for making everything perfect and being very responsive during our stay. We will definitely be back again next year.

5 Star Stay for 5 Lifelong Friends Celebrating 65th Birthdays!

All y'all! If you are visiting Nashville & want a truly comfortable, personally decorated home that is centrally located in the 12 South area... and with hands down The Best Equipped Kitchen of any VRBO we've ever booked, this is your jam! We are 5 livelong friends now scattered (New Orleans, Alabama, Atlanta, Myrtle Beach area, Cape Cod) who decided on Nashville for our collective 65th birthday trip. Host is responsive & oh so easy to communicate with. We had one minor issue & Jimmy arrived within the hour to address/fix (honestly, it was operator error on our part) & he is so engaging that we visited for almost an hour. The home is 5 separate bedrooms spread among 3 floors, 3 baths, one on each floor (no elevator). Cute front porch, nice lower back yard area as well, both great for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The main level living area is comfortable, so much so that our last day we spent the afternoon nestled on the sectional sofa with blankets, popcorn & Hallmark movies! The dining area in the kitchen has a fabulous table meant for long chats & making memories & we spent hours there in the mornings & evenings telling stories, catching up & laughing so much that our sides hurt... probably a Good Thing that table can tell no tales! This property is historic/older, which means quirky, but in the best possible way, lots of interesting renovation details & a truly personal (vs corporate/rental) feel. Highly recommend & we would definitely return.

We LOVED this location and the neighborhood. Walking distance to the popular 12 South area. Close to everything. The kitchen is great and has everything you need to cook large meals. A couple of things to note:The stairs going down to the basement are narrow and dark and the ceiling is low so it would not be a good fit for an older person or young children. On the main floor there are 2 bedrooms. The only bathroom in this floor is in one of the bedrooms.
