Jim's place was in an awesome location for us-lots of good restaurants, a great thrift store and record shop, as well as the super hip and delicious Barista Parlor coffee. Ample street parking, safe neighborhood. We walked to many places and would have been content staying in East Nashville for most of our trip.
Jim's house is beautiful and the room was super comfortable and clean with a private entrance. Although the guest bathroom was available only for our use, you do have to cross the dining room, kitchen and part of the living room to get to it, which wasn't an issue for us since Jim was very friendly but something to consider if you're looking for a completely private setup.
Finally, I really appreciated how at home Jim made us feel. He also provided a nice personalized list of his favorite places in the city. Great stay in a rad city.
