The Dolly★Explore Hillsboro Village on foot★Free Parking, 9 mins to downtown!

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.

It was in a perfect location if you are visiting Vandy. Perfect location. The place is small and hard to host any dinner with a group of four, as there is no real place to sit together. It is very functional place to visit the University.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness

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.
