Stop scrolling people! You have found the PERFECT spot for your Nashville trip. We were so very fortunate to spend two weeks at Yvonne and Steve's. It was our first trip to Nashville and having travelled from New Zealand we were keen and slightly anxious about making the right decision about the accommodation we booked. We have never stayed in someone's home before, but because of this experience will seek to do it again. Everything at Yvonne and Steve's place is as pictured - every other positive comment you read about their home is true - the are the kindest and politest hosts and so knowledgeable about the city. Whether we just called out 'goodnight' as we came in and headed up the stairs or whether we wandered in to chat, they were always available for us and understanding of our needs and wants as holiday makers. The accommodation is so spacious and comfortable - we could not have asked for more. Honestly.
The house is opposite a bus stop for direct links to the city - we did use buses a little, but as Lyft rides were $6-$9 to the central city and came in 2 mins we mainly travelled by car. Amongst our drivers we met several musicians, a songwriter, a road manager and a music producer so had many interesting chats on those rides. The house is perfectly located for great food - several excellent restaurants are just a couple of blocks away including late evening icecream and donuts. In the other direction a supermarket is also within walking distance. A cute friendly bakery (Sweet 16th) is a short walk from the house - we ate several breakfast sandwiches there before starting our mornings of sight seeing. A bit further away, but still within easy walking distance, is the 5 Points area with more excellent eating options, music venues and independent shops.
East Nashville is the perfect place to stay. We always felt safe and had everything we needed.
Just a note, if you're reading this because you're dreaming of one day visiting Nashville, do it. DO IT! It will steal your heart and you'll never be the same. In the best way possible. For us, Yvonne and Steve and their home in East Nashville will always be tied with our love for the city and we just can't wait to come back!
