I just had a fantastic three-night stay at Sara's loft apartment! The unit itself is brand new and gorgeous. Even though it's a studio it felt spacious, and had more than enough room for two people to stay. I especially liked all the modern conveniences like not needing a key to get in the door (it has a pass code instead), fast wifi, Netflix access on the TV, and a nice air conditioner right next to the bed. While I didn't get to meet Sara (it was likely our fault, we were doing things around town most of the time we were there), I know she is a fantastic host. The unit had so many thoughtful extras like toothpaste, razors, Q-tips, a first aid kit, an ironing board, and soap and shampoo - most hotels don't care about their guests that much!

I loved staying in East Nashville. Sara's neighborhood is full of gorgeous historic, newly remodeled homes, and lots of friendly neighbors who all said hello or waved as we walked past. There wasn't any issue getting a ride from Uber or Lyft (it cost about $7 to get from Sara's to Broadway downtown), and I was happy to check out all the awesome bars and restaurants within walking distance. I would highly recommend Rumours East's back patio for wine/cocktails, Five Points Pizza (the garlic knots!), 3 Crow Bar (nice beer selection), Pharmacy Burger Parlor (hand crafted sodas and their outdoor biergarten), and Barista Parlor (great coffee). The next time I'm in Nashville I hope this apartment will be available! Thanks Sara!
