I am in the process of trying to find a place in Nashville to stay for the duration of my internship. The internship will probably only be 3-4 months, so I'm looking for a short lease, at least to start with...

Also, I was looking to find a furnished apartment. When I did searches for those two things, I found a few place, but then when I actually talked to them, they didn't offer anything less than a 6-month lease, and there were no furnished units - false advertising at its best!

Does anyone know of any short-term and/or furnished places? Or any other advice, such as what areas are good?

thanks!

Where is your internship? Will you have a car?

Yes I'll have a car. The internship is downtown, so ideally I'l like to stay in the downtown area...

Apartment occupancy is very high right now with average rental rates of at least $1000 a month. So I can kind of understand that they'd rather have $12,000 for a year than $4,000 (or more) for a few months - easier to rent to one person than 3 different ones.

What is your budget? Can the company you intern for help?

I'd probably try to find a deal with someone who has an airbnb.com listing OR call some of the long term hotels in the Brentwood area and see if they'll cut you a monthly deal. It's not downtown but not too bad of a drive - 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. It's the Old Hickory exit off of I-65. Lots of long term stay hotels - safe, lots of restaurants, fast food, grocery stores, etc.

Also, will your company pay for your parking? It can be pretty pricey if it's right in the middle of downtown.

The place I'm interning actually has their own lot - it's on the SW side of downtown, so it's not right in the thick of it! But I'm also tentatively going to be having a job that requires me to cover events downtown and such, so being able to walk to those would be really nice!!

I'm looking to stay under $1500 as far as rent goes. And the place I'm interning for doesn't help with housing, unfortunately.

This is going to sound a little . . . crazy . . . but they start filming the ABC show "Nashville" this month and my guess is that any short term rental apartments might be taken up by cast and crew. Meaning a lot of competition. Your budget is great, just don't think there's much out there to begin with. My guess is if you call one of the hotels in Brentwood, they might be able to do something in that price range. Some have full kitchens.

Try one of these - all in Brentwood.

Candlewood Suites Nashville/Brentwood
Brentwood Suites Hotel
MainStay Suites Brentwood
Extended Stay America Brentwood
Baymont Inn and Suites
Homewood Suites

I don't think there are any long stay hotels downtown. GREAT that they have their own parking lot. It can be $20 a day, sometimes more!

PS. Just sent you a PM . . .

I had a friend that lived in the grove at richland for a month while she took a maymester class at Vandy. It was fully furnished, but I do believe it cost her about $3,000 for that month.

Did you try searching for sublets? Saw quite a few on Craigslist. Maybe also try Sublet.com and I think there are some apartment swap sites as well.
