I am a musician and I wanted to check out more of Nashville for a couple of days after attending an arts conference at the Omni Downtown. Karen was absolutely wonderful to stay with. I admit since this was my first time using airbnb, I spent a considerable amount of time looking for someone that I would feel comfortable with, especially since I would be traveling alone.

I have a car at home but I decided to navigate Nashville with public transportation for the most part. The bus stop is a minute walk away! For just $1.70 (Line 4-Shelby) you can head to the heart of Nashville to enjoy the sights. You can even get to the airport from downtown for a $1.70! The ride was comfortable and saved me from the usual $15.00+ one way shuttle. That being said, the buses don't run after 8:15pm near her stop, so I used the car service, Uber at night.

If you use this code when downloading UBER, you get a $10 credit! (hvr8w)
My total cost back to Karen's was $2.00!

Karen was very hospitable, a great person to talk to and had a very warm spirit. Her East Nashville neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. East Nashville has tons of cute shops, great live music venues etc. Grab a copy of "The East Nashvillian", it was a great resource for me. Karen's home has lovely decor and I enjoyed having my morning coffee on her cute patio. I hope to travel to Nashville again since I made some music connections here. I would absolutely stay with Karen again.
