John is an excellent host. He met us at the exact time we had arranged and gave us a complete tour of the upstairs suite we were staying at fully explaining how everything worked. There was a nice assortment of beverages and fruit provided which was welcome after a long day of travel. The home is located in a very trendy neighborhood in east Nashville which offers a number of walking options. John told us about a number of local eating and entertainment options and also was very good at telling us what we might experience as to the crowds and music choices in downtown Nashville and he was spot on. We visited a couple of the local spots nearby and found them to be quite charming. Our only regret is that we didn't spend more time in the 5 Points area nearby. I would highly recommend John's place for anyone that wants to experience more of the local flavor of Nashville. Very quiet and very tastefully decorated. John's best friend Max had just suffered through some minor surgery at the Vet's so was somewhat laid back, however he is very friendly and I am sure would be very willing to spend all the time you wish with you once he is on the mend. Thanks John for being an awesome host. This was our first AirBnB experience and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We have two more schedule in the NW US later this summer and we certainly hope that they are close to the level of hospitality that we experienced.
