Nashville is loved for its music scene, bustling nightlife, authentic eateries, and has emerged as one of the most desirable cities in the US to visit.
Airbnbs may offer a safer alternative to hotels right now since they minimize contact with others. However, keep in mind that COVID-19 cases have continued to climb in Tennessee, and masks are currently required in all public settings in Nashville.
We gathered some of the best-reviewed Airbnbs in Music City, reasonably priced between $100 to $360 per night, with nearly all coming in under $200 per night to start.
Nashville is widely known for being country music's North Star, a go-to bachelorette party destination, and home to legendary fried chicken and barbeque.
And there's still so much more to discover beyond honky tonk, with hidden gem neighborhoods, beautiful murals painted across the city, adorable shops in 12th South and Hillsboro Village, and decades of history and diversity.
For those wondering whether Airbnbs are safe, experts say staying at an Airbnb as opposed to a hotel is actually one of the safest travel options right now. That's in part because Airbnb vacationers are typically booking the whole house and many have contact-less check-in options, thus minimizing contact with other people.
Airbnb also implemented new Enhanced Clean procedures, which include guidelines on personal protective equipment for hosts or cleaners, and only using disinfectants approved by regulatory authorities. However, keep in mind that not all hosts are necessarily following the enhanced protocols. We've noted listings that are taking part in the new policy below.
While Tennessee does not currently have any travel restrictions in place, but Nashville is requiring masks to be worn in all public places currently. Before making any plans just yet, consider that while Nashville has recently seen a downward trend in COVID-19 cases in the past week or so, Tennessee has continued to see an uptick in new cases, and the governor has extended the State of Emergency through August 29, 2020.
Additionally, keep in mind that crowded streets and packed music venues may not be the best places to be right now. So it may be wise to put Nashville on hold for now and consider a more remote getaway instead.
Also keep in mind that without a vaccine there's never a guarantee of safety. We always recommend following advice from organizations like the CDC and WHO, practicing social distancing, washing hands frequently, and wearing a mask in all public areas. It's also wise to book rentals with flexible cancellation plans right now if you are planning a future trip since the situation is rapidly changing and evolving across the US.
All that said, whether you're a music connoisseur looking to explore the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry, a foodie ready to indulge your sweet tooth, or simply in need of a cozy weekend getaway, Nashville is an enticing destination.
Regardless of what you plan to do once you arrive down south, you'll need a place to stay. For those seeking a homey getaway.

South Nashville: cheerful tiny house, $106

South Nashville: cheerful tiny house, $106 — Airbnb
Book this South Nashville tiny house starting at $106 per night
Some of our favorite Airbnbs in other cities have been tiny houses, due to their cozy nature and seclusion. This tiny house cottage looks like it was specifically designed with couples in mind with a woodsy fairytale-like location and lofted bed under a romantic vaulted ceiling. Young families will also be comfortable, with child-friendly amenities such as a provided travel crib, high chair, children's toys, and baby bathtub.
While tiny in size, the decor is larger than life with arched doorways, baby blue counters, and a rustic wooden bathroom door hiding a clawfoot tub. The yard is complete with patio seating, a play area for kids, and a tranquil garden.
Though this property is not as centrally located as some others, it's off the beaten path charm is well worth a look, especially since it's only a 10-minute drive from Downtown Nashville, and rideshare services make the trip incredibly easy.

The bright blue door initially caught my eye when browsing, but this trendy apartment's minimal yet mod interiors are equally appealing. A great fit for small families, this two-bedroom apartment can accommodate up to five guests with newly renovated bedrooms.
The pops of color don't stop at the front door — they're tastefully dotted throughout the home with bright lamps, pillows, and vibrant art. The modern furniture, spacious kitchen stocked with kid-friendly dinnerware, and cozy seating areas both inside and outside of the apartment give a nod to the recent investments the hosts made in this home.

Music Row: Retro studio, $109 — Airbnb
Book this Music Row studio starting at $109 per night
This studio has somehow managed to strike a delicate balance between modern comfort and vintage appeal. Although renovated last year, the roots of its 1915 origins remain visibly intact with a black and white kitchen complete with a retro microwave and woven dining chair, to midcentury modern low slung armchairs, and intricate toiletry dispensers in the shower.
The studio is also neighbors with the iconic RCA Studio B and Warner Music Nashville and is just a 20-minute walk from Downtown's live music scene.
If you'd rather stay in, you'll be equipped with all the major basics: heat and air conditioning, TV and Wi-Fi, and an in-unit washer-dryer.

Greenwood: A guesthouse to unwind in, $134 — Airbnb
Book this Greenwood home starting at $134 per night
Complete with a hot tub, this cozy guesthouse is especially appealing to those looking to relax and unwind on their next trip to Nashville. The soft cream color scheme is backed by a gray headboard in the bedroom for a sophisticated hotel-like feel, but for far cheaper, and with the added convenience of a kitchen with a Keurig and large fridge.

The home sleeps six guests though there's technically only one bedroom; additional beds are found in a lofted sleep nook. And while the guesthouse is completely private, it's important to note that the hosts of this property live on-site.

12th South: Spacious home, $143 — Airbnb
Book this 12th South home starting at $143 per night
This generously-sized home can fit up to 10 guests with four bedrooms and six beds, but the high ceilings, open spaces, and natural light make it feel even larger.
Wooden floors and detailing feels simultaneously historic, cohesive, and calming, while fireplaces, stacked bookcases, an upright piano, and supple leather sofas and chairs lend a regal air. The kitchen boasts new appliances and the marble master bathroom feels spa-like infusing the home with modern comforts. Though, you might spend a good portion of your stay outside on the wide porch with Adirondack chairs, or the expansive back patio with a wooden deck and brick courtyard outfitted with a fire pit and chaise lounges.
12th South is one of favorite Nashville's hot spots, dotted with adorable boutiques, brightly colored murals, and often, the presence of a flower truck. This property sits in the heart of it, which 100% of guests raved about in their reviews.

Cleveland Park: Charming guesthouse, $167

Cleveland Park: Charming guesthouse, $167 — Airbnb
Book this Cleveland Park home starting at $167 per night
This home is quintessentially Nashville, with nostalgic hints to the city's notoriety such as the record player and guitar in the living room lined with books, the Jack Daniels poster in the bathroom, or plant-covered chandeliers. Americana prints mingle alongside tribal textiles for a hip feel throughout the two-bedroom home, which is warmed by an electric fireplace or the inviting outdoor fire pit.
Cleveland Park is described by the hosts as one of the more laid-back areas of Nashville, so this private guest house accommodating four guests is best suited for those planning a more relaxed getaway. If you do get a hankering for Downtown nightlife though, it's only a 10-minute drive.

Rutledge Hill: Trendy loft, $199

Rutledge Hill: Trendy loft, $199 — Airbnb
Book this Rutledge Hill loft starting at $199 per night
I'm admittedly enamored by the fire engine red spiral staircase, vaulted ceilings, and wood-paneled wall, but this loft's uniquely chic design doesn't stop with these bold accents. Plenty of adorable small details are tucked throughout the home, including a vintage typewriter in one of the bedrooms, and a nook with a hanging chair on the balcony.
The airy two-bedroom home includes an in-unit washer-dryer, grill, and self-check-in. The host has received a 5.0 rating for communication, check-in, and accuracy, with one reviewer stating: "The owners were extremely responsive and provided many thoughtful amenities not typically seen in other Airbnbs, such as toothpaste, q-tips, coffee, oatmeal, tampons, lotion, razors, etc."

12th South: Sleek guesthouse, $360

12th South: Sleek guesthouse, $360 — Airbnb
Book this 12th South home starting at $360 per night
This converted garage is industrial but sleek with an all-neutral color scheme, contemporary lighting fixtures, and an open kitchen, all bathed in streaming natural light. While the interior design shines in this well-sized one-bedroom home, I was especially impressed by the peaceful patio with a fire pit and chairs overlooking a sprawling green lawn. Two beds can accommodate four guests, though there is just one spacious bedroom.
Located in 12th South, this property reaps all the benefits of being within walking distance from the top highlights of the neighborhood. While reviewers note this, they also recognize standout details within this home, like the kitchen that is "well stocked with cooking items."
