Melita was a helpful resource for Nashville and dining scoop!
This is a simple first floor apartment that has retained some character of the original structure. There is off street parking as long as you don’t have a huge vehicle. We felt comfortable and safe walking in the neighborhood.
It’s an ideal location for visiting and touring Nashville. It is located within 2 blocks of Hillsboro Village, which is an easy stroll even in the heat. There is a nice variety of local restaurants. Biscuit Luv and Pancake Pantry are keepers for breakfast…go early if dining-in or preorder if getting takeout. There is a wide variety of boutiques.
Music Row is only 2 blocks away.
Another dining recommendation for other BBQ lovers is Martins. I suggest preordering at Belmont Blvd location (easy 6 min. drive) that offers dining-in, parking and curbside pick up. Osborne’s Buy-Rite is a small friendly grocery store beside Martins. Easy place to pick up whatever we needed.
I suggest taking the Nashville Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour early in your visit to get acquainted with and enjoy the city. Trolley stop #12 is located on the street below the Belmont Mansion by black metal park benches. This is walkable, 15ish minutes, from the apartment (PS: need to purchase tickets online prior to boarding at this stop and call Trolley Tours to find out when the next trolley is arriving at that stop). This eliminates getting in your car or dealing w Downtown traffic/parking. If you prefer to drive, the Parthenon is an easy drive with free parking. The trolleys loop 14 stops from 9:30-5:00 (first stop of the day near Belmont Mansion was 10:45 for us). Convenient way to check out the different pockets of the city and imbibe safely. Bus drivers provide entertaining narration of past and present along with being a good source of local scoop and tips!!! Enjoy!
