Rick's house was a great spot to settle down while in Nashville. If you're a walker, you can walk downtown from his house, although it is a bit of a hike. We did it one night and enjoyed the views along the way, but took an Uber home later. Within a more reasonable walking distance is the restaurant Rolf & Daughters (highly recommended) and the coffee shop Steadfast Coffee. Also check out Patterson House if you're a fan of craft cocktails!
Uber to downtown and other locations is quick and cheap. The apartment was very clean, easily accessible, and the other guests were friendly as well.
I would stay here again next time I'm in Nashville
