The Blue Bungalow - 4 beds + 7 Mins To Broadway! — Guest Reviews

Stay was great home home as clean and well presented is pet friendly lots of shops and must sees close by even has small fire pit and sitting area and more would highly recommend 10 out of 10

Brandon and his team are great. He has multiple homes on this street, it was cool to be close to other people exploring Nashville. This two bedroom has been updated and is very stylish! Parking is easy on the street or off street parking behind the house. The kitchen has all supplies you might need. The king bed is comfy and the bunk bed looked great. My pups and I enjoyed the warm weather in the back yard. This is an older (renovated) bungalow split into two units. I never heard the other renter and rarely saw them come / go. (Each unit has its own entrance). The Location is walkable to 12 South and a quick Uber or drive downtown. I extended my stay and would absolutely stay again! in this unit or in one of his larger homes with a group of friends. Stop looking, Book it!

Great location and easy parking. Hosts were very communicative. Modern bathroom. The kitchen feels more “lived in” than the photos show and the internet is slow. If you bring a dog, just know that the gate isn’t fully enclosed towards the front. Fire pit out back is great!

we really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this place!! the location is perfect and close to many different areas of the city. Its also perfect if you're traveling with your pup as it has a small fenced in yard. Thanks for a great stay and we look forward to coming back!!

What a seamless experience! From reserving this property to checking out, Brandon and Jessica were super helpful, communicative, and responsive hosts during my stay in Nashville. Their bungalow was adorable, conveniently located, safe, and beautifully decorated. Their customer service was impeccable, and it was clear they took great pride not only in their home’s appearance but also in all the thoughtfully curated details available to me during my stay. Oh, did I mention they are pet friendly?! It is so tough to find pet-friendly accommodations for one, much less TWO, of my fur babies. I’m super appreciative of Brandon and Jessica’s easy going nature regarding their pet policy. I will definitely be staying here for my future trips to Nashville!

Fantastic location! The space was for great for us and our dog, great backyard and neighborhood to walk. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the bungalow had everything we needed for the week. Brandon and Jessica were excellent hosts, very communicative and helpful!

Decided to book Brandon’s place for a last minute, cross country side trip to Nashville. The place is super adorable, conveniently located in a quiet residential area yet only a short 2 mile ride to Broadway. The decor is really cute, gorgeous black tile 2 person shower and really comfortable king sized bed. Had a nice yard for the pup and backed to a quiet driveway for walking her as well. We had a few issues with the keyless entry but communication was superb and handled immediately each time we needed assistance. Nice little touches like a bottle of wine (which we forgot to drink), makeup wipes, shower products and coffee/creamer. Highly recommend this place and will definitely rebook when music city beckons us back!

The "Blue Bungalow" and the team were fantastic. Easy check-in and check-out, as well as communication throughout our stay. Location is great for a quick (5-10 min) Uber over to the Broadway area, and lots of other great restaurants/bars within a 15+ minute walk or short drive. Great back yard for our pups and a very well stocked kitchen with super-comfortable beds/bedding and accommodations. Would definitely recommend this place to friends for a fun stay, whether long or short, in Nashville!

Blue Bungalow Perfect spot for our group, close to broadway. Outdoor grill was bonus

The positives: clean, friendly, responsive, in a great location, easy to access, pictures depicted the place exactly. Perfect for a weekend or friends connecting Feedback: typically folks are coming for weekends and nightlife most likely. We needed to work remote for the week and ventured to family friendly places in the evening. We had an infant with us, so this was our intent while our other kids were at a camp for the week. We intentionally filtered out duplexes and apartments from our search as we wanted a whole home (for space) and this popped up as a home. While the whole building is a house, it has been split into a duplex (unit A and Unit B). We thought we would have more space being listed as a home to set up our baby necessities and it was quite cramped. WiFi didn’t work and because it was unsecured, (no password needed), we didn’t bother to ask the host about it as we both have jobs requiring a secured network, so had to use hotspot. Again, perfect for short stays!!

Great location! Cozy place to stay! I stayed here for a week and it felt like home! I cooked most of my own meals (the kitchen had everything I needed), enjoyed lounging on the couches in the afternoon, and slept great in the comfy king bed. The last weekend three friends visited and they took over the other bedroom. It worked out great for all of us!

The perfect place for our small group. We were pleased to find adequate options for beds and a complementary bottle of wine. It was a surprisingly easy drive to and around the main drag from this location. Happy to see them rehabbing the area also!

Great location, parking, and easy entry. Cozy space perfect for a group trip to Nashville!

Great Stay We were in town for a family matter, and this place was perfect. Drive time to Vanderbilt Medical Center was perfect!

Great stay Blue Bungalow's location worked very well for us when our newest family member required surgery at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. We had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped to cook meals. We would rent Blue Bungalow again if we return to the area.

Our daughter graduated from Belmont University this weekend and this place is so convenient-basically across the street and a walk through campus and close to where our daughter lives! Super quick and easy to communicate with!

Buyer beware, things are not as they may seem from the listing or reviews. Everything went downhill as soon as we parked in the parking area provided. Upon arrival we found the trash was overflowing in the parking area (creating a nuisance if not an invitation to rats). The enrty code provided did not work and after calling the office we had to wait 15 minutes in the heat to get the code (they did not call back so I had to again call them). Although the listing said the "cottage" could be available between 1pm and 3pm you have to pay extra to get in at 1pm (that extra cost was not disclosed in the listing). Despite having paid to get in early so we could get settled and meet with family we were visiting as we ended up spending the next 3 hours dealing with multiple property issues (see below). The house was almost 80 degrees inside when we finally got in and it was a lack of prepration (if not consideration) to have the thermostat set to cool the house prior to arrival (it was in teh high 90's that day and it took several hours to cool the unit). We also had to locate and open the ceiling vents to allow the A/C to effectively cool the inside. There were no instructions for how to use or set the thermostat or other pertinent house information. There was no remote for the TV rendering the TV inoperable (not until later in the day another was brought to use). The living room ceiling light (only available light) had 2 bulbs, both of which were dim "Edision" style (i.e., "old fashinioned") bulbs making it impossible to sit in that room at night to read. The primary bedroom had two side lamps one of which also had an Edison bulb making it improssible to read at night from that side of the bed. The clock in the primary bedroom did not work (there was no battery). More infuriating, there were no dressers for clothes and not even any benches for suitcases (since one would now have to live out of the suitcases placed on the floor) and to make matters worse, the two closets which one would assume would be for the guests were completely filled with housekeeping and cleaning items and linens. Communications with "Brandon" (the so-called property manager) was poor, often having to call with no answer or ability to leave a voice message and use of texts via the Airbnb portal often went unanswered. In general, and upon closer inspection, the property felt rundown. One had to wonder why there was no checklist or inspection prior to a guest's arrival to make sure the place was in the condition one would expect (e.g., entry code working, A/C set and ceiling vents open, TV remote there, proper light bulbs, acceptable storage space, house instructions etc.). No doubt "Brandon" will refute this or state that the full amount was refunded (as it should have been since we felt it unacceptable to stay) but the facts are the facts as I have stated them. In all fairness, it can be said that the cottage was clean so I had no issue with that.

Really cute space! Conveniently located. We stayed for the 4th of July. An Uber ride to broadway for 5 of us (3 adults, 2 kids) was about $14 each way. 12 south is close and there are great spots there to shop and eat.

Awesome location and very clean. Worked out well for 2 people remote working. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals. We have an EV and there was a free charging station a block away, which was great.

This Airbnb was a great stay! Everything from the posting was accurate and there were no major issues. We stayed here for extended 9 day stay while working remote. The internet was extremely fast, which made working remote pleasant. There are plenty of restaurants and shops you can walk to in less than 20 minutes.

Excellent value. Amazing service Positive: Gorgeously decorated and very new. Had everything you could want in the place Negative: The house was weirdly humid - like super moist even if the AC was on. We kept cracking the windows.

Bach This was great!

This was a great spot to stay to ring in the new year! It was walking distance to 12 South and minutes from The Gulch, downtown and other surrounding areas! I’d definitely stay here again!

The photos to me, make it look bigger than it is but would work for a couple or family with small children. Nicely appointed decor. There were some issues after check in however the Hallson Hospitality Co staff were very responsive and helpful. the communication was fantastic, unfortunately the issues couldn't be resolved immediately and we had to find another Airbnb.

Nashville Stay We were very satisfied with the property and the property manager. They did everything in they’re power to make our stay more pleasant. I was in Nashville for 30 days for a medical procedure and my dates had to be changed twice. The property manager was glad to accommodate us right up until time to check in.

Took a girls trip to Nashville and this house was just as listed. Very clean and spacious! Very close/short Uber ride to Broadway! Able to park behind the house in the alley and easy entrance into the gate to get access to the house. Would definitely Recommend!!

Stayed in this Airbnb for my 30th birthday. Some of my favorite things about our stay was the grill/fire pit, the amount of extra clean towels and linens, the kitchen and decor of the apartment. The location and privacy of the yard was great as well.

Great location for exploring Nashville. We enjoyed the state parks with great hikes and waterfalls much more than the city. There were a few issues with the house but Brandon was a good communicator and kept us updated throughout our stay about the situation. He refunded us the cleaning fee for our inconvenience.

Bonita casa con todas las comodidades y buena ubicación Positive: Estuvimos 4 noches alojados en esta bonita casa durante nuestra visita a Nashville y nos gustó mucho desde el primer momento. La casa está dividida en dos unidades y nosotros estuvimos en la B, que está en la parte trasera. Estaba muy limpia y es muy acogedora. Tuvieron el detalle de dejarnos una botella de vino y unas palomitas de maíz dulces de cortesía, lo agradecimos mucho después de un largo viaje desde Barcelona. También tenían café e infusiones. Las habitaciones son amplias y las camas muy cómodas. Éramos 3 personas y había toallas y papel higiénico como mínimo para 6. Delante de la casa se puede aparcar en la calle, el barrio se siente muy seguro y el aparcamiento en esa zona es gratuito. Si alguna día volvemos a Nashville estaremos encantados de hospedarnos aquí de nuevo! Negative: Antes de nuestra llegada nos enviaron un mensaje advirtiendo que en la misma calle hay 2 casas iguales. Llegamos muy cansados después de más de 17 horas de aviones y aeropuertos, eran casi las 12 de la noche y olvidé esa información. La pobre vecina se asustó cuando nos presentamos en su puerta con tantas maletas. Enseguida nos dimos cuenta de nuestro error y encontramos la casa correcta. Pedimos disculpas!!

Good location and responsive host

Great centrally located spot to see all the sites in Nashville. Clean & had everything we needed for a week stay. Hallson's service was awesome! So nice to have a responsive host :)

Great location, walking distance to Belmont University and Vanderbilt. House was clean and parking was great too.

Very clean. Hosts were very good at communicating! The Airbnb was also very close to down town

Perfect for a weekend getaway

Amazing place to stay close to Green Hills and Downtown We enjoyed staying here, as the home was convenient to the Green Hills and downtown venues. The property management team provided easy check-in and check-out, responded to messages quickly, and checked in frequently. If you like to cook, you’ll find a fully appointed kitchen that will remind you of home

Great experience

The location is great! A uber is 10 mins to broadway, the host was very responsive and communicated with us throughout the trip. I definitely recommend the blue bungalow!

Convenient location and clean space This rental was conveniently located near Belmont University. Their team was very communicative and check in/check out was very easy.

Great place to stay and surrounded by so many things to do. A quick drive to almost anything you can think of near downtown Nashville.

Great location, super responsive hosts Overall, this was a great stay. I had a minor issue with one of the tv remotes not working, and they were so quick to respond and resolve it. The location is very central, and I liked being able to park so close. I wish the weather was nicer when I was there because I would have loved to sit out in the yard at the fire pit! So cute! The only recommendation I'd make is that it would have been nice to have a lamp/alternative lighting in the living room.

Super cute and great location Loved the decor and backyard fire pit. Easy to get to everything! Will book again!

Cozy spot! Walking distance to shopping and restaurants

Place might need a good deep clean as we didn't stay the entire time due to a possible mold problem.

This place looks just like the pics and was super clean. We LOVED the location and the decor. Getting in and out was easy and the instructions were clear. Here’s why they didn’t get a 5: the checkin is at 4pm, the checkout is 10am. That’s an hour later checkin and an hour earlier checkout than most airbnbs I’ve stayed in. They had an option for a late checkout, so I requested that - 2 hours for $50. They made me put in my payment details and said they’d let me know if I was “approved.” I had to message them a few days later to learn I wasn’t and that I wouldn’t be charged. Also,a lot of Nashville rentals seem to be run by these companies with lots of properties. They send you texts to go to a separate place for instructions. Simple instructions that could be in airbnb, so you’re juggling multiple places for info. It’s just not convenient.

Perfect tiny home for a quick weekend, close to everything so we weren't there too much. I would stay again.

We stayed here May 2 - May 5 and we had a wonderful experience. The outdoor area was super cute equipped with a hammock and outdoor seating settled around a fire pit. I was sad that I didn’t see any firewood around but we wouldn’t have been able to really use it anyway because it rained off and on for the majority of our visit. Communication was top tier! Anytime I had a question the host was very responsive in a very timely manner. The house was very tidy and the beds were sooooo comfy! The host informed us of a brand new couch that was also very comfy. Overall we had a great experience here and I would recommend. 😊

Great location and very responsive host!

I had a great stay at Brandon's property. It could use an some minor repairs but apparently that is in the works! Would stay at one of his properties again. They were very responsive as well. Thanks again!

Nice two-bedroom duplex Nice two-bedroom duplex. Brandon was a great host. He answered questions quickly. The duplex was nice and cozy. The bed was nice and comfortable. There weref a lot of towels and linens if needed. Broadway is close but I recommend taking an Uber. Parking there will kill your wallet. I would stay again.

Nice airbnb, description was spot on!! Host were very responsive and attentive! Overall great stay and experience

Not quite as advertised We were looking for something with three beds within walking distance of most of the sites that was also quiet. So I’m researching things, this location seemed perfect until we got there. The neighborhood, I am guessing, was recently gentrified because the house next to the one we were in was a bit frightening. Go a few blocks in the wrong direction and the neighborhoods get sketchy. We ended up in one half of the house and the online instructions contradicted what was messaged to us for check in (it referenced using a lockbox when there was just a key pad. The o line instructions also said that the WiFi did not require a password, which it actually did I). The house itself needs a little TLC. A lot of things were dusty, the door to the bathroom was beat up and there were other things broken. We could walk easily to 12 South and Musoc Row but the Gulch/Broadway was a long walk. However, we were happy to discover 12 South and wouldn’t have if we had t stayed at this location. The Hallston staff was very responsive on our issues. The king bed we slept in was very comfortable and the backyard was nice to relax in.

Belmont University toyr In Nashville to tour Belmont University. This location was in perfect location to walk to campus, Music Row, Vanderbilt University. Easy drive or Uber to downtown (~1.5 miles) look forward to staying here again in the future.

We had a really great time staying here! Comfortable, and easy to get to the places we wanted to see!

Great place that met our needs while in Nashville! Staff was extremely friendly and responsive.

Great backyard space... everything you need in the kitchen. Super close to 12 South.

This property is perfect for a fun getaway. I would definitely recommend

Very convenient location. Easy to get Ubers and less then 10 mins to everything.

This was our first visit to Nashville and it did not disappoint. This little bungalow was absolutely perfect for our stay. It was very clean & cozy. It was very easy to make ourselves right at home. It only took us 7 minutes to get downtown and had easy access to Uber. Brandon was an awesome host and responded within a timely manner. We can’t wait to visit again!

comfortable and hospitable Positive: very clean and the owners were very considerate

The home is a well styled rental. It was convenient to Nashville/ the Gulch/ 12 South…with many options for free parking at the rental, such a treat. The inside and backyard is open, bright, modern & well organized for vacation ease. At this price point I think it does need a washer & dryer …. for guests who travel light this would be really appreciated. The apartment also needs an overall refresh; touch up paint, replace stained queen bedspread, light globe in main room was missing, floor sadly disrupted by dishwasher… perhaps a good spring cleaning is needed. All that being said, it was a comfortable airy easy stay for us.

This place is run by one of those “groups” that are really good at photographing poorly done Renovation jobs then not much else The heat was off and it was 60 degrees when we arrived in the middle of one of the coldest weeks in January There was dog and human hair all over the sheets. They did bring clean sheets the next day but I had to sleep in filth the first night. They blamed “the new maid service”, which I did not believe and I am pretty sure one of the hosts just does the cleaning and they pocket THE $200 CLEANING FEE The place smelled like dogs. The carpet in the bedroom was disgusting. The drawers under the sink were disgusting. There’s not a single chest or dresser in the whole place… such a cheap fix that would keep their guests from having to put their clothes on the floor. There wasn’t an iron or ironing board and it was a whole ordeal to have them bring one The positives - great location and plenty of on street parking

Very comfortable with great location. We enjoyed our stay here. Be sure to check out the 12 South area.

Fantastic! Great host- great location. Wonderful experience all around!

Great location! We enjoyed our stay - the only problem for me was paying $200 for the cleaning fee and still having a list of things to clean before checking out. They also wouldn’t allow a us to check out later than 10am, which is understandable, but with check-in being at 4pm it feels like you aren’t getting your money’s worth. I really don’t get how it takes 6 hours to clean a small apartment like that. Only other thing was the apartment was a bit chilly, even with the thermostat turned up - and the shower water does not get hot which was a bummer. But all in all, it was still a good little spot near 12 south

Shelley was a pleasure to host! They left the home in great condition and were respectful throughout their stay. I would be more than happy to host Shelley again!

This place was awesome . Clean great location . The host was always available if we needed them and was in constant contact to see if we needed anything . Highly recommend them and would use them again in the future

Beautiful, comfortable, quiet and the hosts were quick to respond with any questions!

Good spot

We enjoyed our stay and it was also very convenient location. Not far from Broadway. It is a shared home but was not bothered at all the entire stay. Brandon and Jessica responded very quickly if we needed anything. Recommend!

I'll start this by saying that Blue Bungalow is a great size and in a good location to access many areas of Nashville fairly quickly. We did enjoy our stay for the most part but there was also a few issues with the house. To begin the worst part about our trip was the shower leaking horribly. We felt as if we spent just as much time cleaning up all the water that would run onto the bathroom floor than we did actually taking a shower. The glass door seems not to be sealed correctly and I have seen this mentioned in a few other reviews. The other issue that seemed to bother me was that the landing was completely covered in about 3" of mud due to improper drainage. I understand that it did rain fairly heavy prior to us arriving but don't understand how someone left foot prints throughout the mud but yet did not attempt to clean it up? This made it tough to keep from tracking mud and dirt inside even after I cleaned off the landing with the garden hose. Again we spent some of our time repeatedly cleaning the floor due to this issue. We are not trying to just complain although it clearly appears that this house was "quickly" refreshed in order to be used as the Airbnb. It can be clearly noticed that this house was quickly and cheaply updated to be used as an Airbnb. The pictures can be off from how the house actually appears currently. We do think this could be a very cute place for a Airbnb if a little more time and effort was put into the place. I wouldn't be opposed to staying here again once all the issues are addressed.

great place!! very clean and safe

Amazing location, super comfy and didn’t hear the neighbors at all. Shower only stays really hot for like 30 minutes at a time but that was the only issue i ran into, and it wasn’t really even an issue! I would highly recommend!

The fridge and light fixture in the living space were broken. Fridge barely kept food cold. The shower leaks Bad! Otherwise we really had a good time. Brandon was quick to respond and the location and parking were great. Cute little place. We had a blast.

Appreciated the time at Brandon’s home. Close to Vanderbilt and not too long of a walk to Frothy Monkey! Loved having coffee at home too Excellent communication ~ easy access to home! Well lit at night with cute lights lining the fence!

Quick Uber ride to Broadway, place was clean and check in was super easy, couldn’t have asked for more

Stay was fantastic!

Great location-it was clean and had all the things we needed-they were super communicative before during and after our stay

Great place near everything in Nashville!

Thanks

Would stay again. Beds were very comfortable. Was a bit smaller than what we thought. Was a nice short ride to Broadway.

The pictures of the place are accurate! It was clean and stocked with everything we needed. It’s not as close to downtown as we had thought, but overall a nice place and great hosts!

Cute and conveniently located spot! Great Communication from host! Plenty of Amenities! We would definitely stay here again!!

Great Space…feels like a large hotel suite with a house feel😍

This place is beating! Loved the wine and baked cookies. Brandon was awesome and even accommodated my parents an extra night since their flight got canceled! Thank you

Had a great time.
