Your Abode is equipped with a smart TV or streaming device (Roku) which allows guests to access their own streaming accounts that are automatically logged out at checkout. Your Abode does not have cable or satellite service but the streaming device does provide some free TV and movie content.

-Entire private apartment
-Gated on-site parking (first come-first serve)

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)

Getting Around:
Free Rides Downtown or Around Town:

Download Lyft and Uber apps to your smart phone for your transportation. A group of 4 new users can have 4 free ride credits. The wait time is minimal (schedule ahead of time for future arrival is an option) and you can track your car arrival on your phone. If you don’t have a car, most Lyft/Uber rides are with a couple miles from everything downtown. Here are some codes :)

Lyft: to receive a discount toward your first ride, enter code SUPERSECRETCODE under "PROMOS" in the app.

Other Things to Note:
| Other Things to Note Before Booking |

| Same-Day Bookings | We work hard to make our homes available for same day booking for those guests in need. 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). By booking, you hereby accept and agree to this condition and that you'll be required to show proof of residency. Any reservation which does not comply with this restriction will be subject to cancellation. Please contact us if you're booking within your city.

| Representative Photos | We have multiple Abode’s at this property. Each one is designed to provide our guests a beautiful, clean, and comfortable place to stay. The photos will give you a sense of this building’s style. While your Abode may vary slightly, it will be just as well designed.

Abode reserves the right to charge an additional cleaning fee when a stay exceeds 30 days. For each 30 days increment, an additional cleaning fee will be added to the stay.

| ID Verification + Credit Card Verification |
All guests are required to sign a separate rental agreement, and digitally provide ID prior to receiving access details. This information may be used for a basic public records search. Please see the "House Rules" section for complete details.
Additional CREDIT CARD payment verification may be required.

| Potential for Noise | You’ll be in an urban setting next to train tracks in addition to being in a residential apartment, which may be prone to noise from neighbors. We've included a pair of ear plugs and a white noise machine in case you need a little help getting a good night's sleep.

| Limited On-Site Parking | There is limited on-site parking. However, there is ample street parking available. Reminder to please lock your car and remove valuables - we are not responsible for theft or damage to your vehicle or its contents.

Better than a hotel
I always rent through VRBO on vacations. The home feel is far more appealing than a hotel. The apartment was clean. Older buildings but has been slightly renovated. Having a washer and dryer was a huge bonus when traveling light.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
overpriced
it was dark when I arrived at the property. Instructions (check-in guide) was finally texted to me. We (2 females) had to sit in my car in a neighborhood I was unfamiliar with and was a bit sketchy, and read several pages to get the instructions on where to park and how to get into the apartment. I'm glad I wasn't alone. I was told bed was a king - it was not. Apartment was ok but really needs a deep clean. I needed to stay an additional night and phone staff was very helpful with that. In my opinion, this place should rent for under $100.

Disappointed
Urban retreat was very misleading! Very disappointed with VRBO… location of apartment was in a very rundown area of Nashville… we didn’t feel safe in neighborhood and didn’t stay in this apartment!

Mostly great
The property was generally very nice and clean and the hosts were great at communicating and answering questions. The tub/shower wasn’t in great shape. The complex is a bit noisy (thin walls between units) but the noise died down early and didn’t interrupt sleep. Neighbours were friendly.

Clean and convenient
The property was clean, safe, quiet and convenient to downtown Nashville. We will definitely keep this location in mind for future trips. Reserving process was simple and all information was provided.
