I would think with 6 adults you're going to be fairly safe wherever, especially if you have parking on premises, which most seem to have. A 3 bedroom Air B&B will have reviews about safety and neighborhoods. I'd think you could find something nice for much less than $400, for sure.

Lots of choices with good reviews! Good prices, too.

Possible choices

If you're hoping to pay under $400 per night per couple, try 21c Museum Hotel. It is gorgeous, and the food in the restaurant is outstanding.

Spani, post this over in Home Decorating Conversations. There are also many people there who like to travel and can chime in with ideas.

I agree about location. I don't do Air and B but my two DD's do. Most often they are happy, but last year oldest didn't like the neighborhood she was in while going to a wedding in San Antonio Texas.

You want to feel comfortable as you will be coming and going in the evenings as well as the day.

I looked at the Airbnb Nashville map. Generally where all the rentals are clumped together on the map is where most people want to be. At least that's what I've found in a medium sized city like Nashville. Just read the reviews and you should be able to discern what's appropriate for your group. If people state that they walk to a lot of attractions, most likely it's a safe neighborhood. I've been doing Airbnb for over 6 years now, and cannot recall any horror stories of being in the wrong neighborhood, or feeling unsafe but I'm sure it does happen. But I read reviews very thoroughly. You can also ask the host questions.

We go to Nashville often for concerts or other fun. Typically we stay overnight or a couple of nights and just stay in a hotel downtown where we can walk and dine where we want. But I understand your desire to perhaps stay out in a more affordable location.

I am not familiar with all of Nashville’s surrounding areas, but I do know that most of the Southwest area is good, from the Vanderbilt area south, including Belle Meade/Green Hills, Brentwood, Franklin. You will have to drive into downtown Nashville, but it will be a short drive. Prices still may be on the high side. Franklin has a charming little downtown area worth checking out, as well as some great places to eat.

There are some other up and coming neighborhoods in the surrounding areas, but those escape me at the moment. Hopefully someone more familiar will chime. Rob is one who will comment I hope.

Message me with specifics if you want! Yes, I have many ideas of the neighborhoods in Nashville. The most affluent areas are Belle Meade and Green Hills. So the nicest places. Somewhat close to downtown and the interstate.

We use HomeAway to book condos and houses when we travel. Much better control of the properties. HomeAway
