There are great AirBnb and VRBO options in Nashville, and we definitely recommend staying closer to the West End, Midtown, Hillsboro Village and 12 South areas. You can get away with Uber-ing or Lyft-ing everywhere at a low cost and avoiding a rental car! An Uber/Lyft to the venue will be about $12-20 depending which area you decide to stay in. We recommend this, if you plan on drinking, as we will have an open bar.
