We had a great time at Richard's in Nashville! He was incredibly accommodating, helpful, knew so much about the city, and gave so many lovely suggestions that completely enhanced our stay (if you are in town on Saturday nights when they have the Big Band Dance, go!). There is also a House Manual with suggestions of restaurants and helpful tidbits available in the apartment. Hillsboro and Vanderbilt are in walking distance from his apartment and downtown is a simple $10 cab ride away (use the Taxi driver named Woza written in the book!).
His apartment is the whole second floor of his house, so you have a bedroom, a sitting room, quasi kitchen (no actual stove), and a bathroom all to yourself - most likely more space than you actual even need. It is a very safe neighborhood and we felt like we were real locals while staying at Richards.
Richard clearly loves his city and wants to share that love with all of his guests. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and fun stay in a loval Nashville neighborhood.
