Richard was an exceptional host. My whole experience in Nashville was taken to another level because of my stay at Richard's. (I was there for Songposium as a songwriter).

The apartment itself was huge and has everything you could possibly want/need including a microwave, coffee/tea make, a separate shower and sink. The bed was very large and comfortable. There were even water bottles in the fridge. It was very clean and Internet access was available. I could even practice guitar if I felt like it.

The home is absolutely charming including the beautifully manicured lawn. The view from my apartment was awesome with windows that can open to the lovely street view. Parking was a breeze. I could come and go from my apartment anytime.

The location was superb ...for example, for me, being near Bongo Java was so cool. I jogged some days throughout area among the beautiful homes and it was invigorating.

Richard was so hospitable as my host. For example, he answered my many questions about where to eat, what to do in Nashville and I asked a lot of questions most of the days I was there! He knows the city well and he is very easy to chat with. In addition, as a songwriter himself (and more) and he was very knowledgeable about everything music and also very inclusive regarding what's going on musically in Nashville.

In short, I highly recommend staying with Richard. The home exemplifies picture perfect southern hospital (including bluebirds!) and Richard is the perfect host: giving you privacy when you want it and being open to chat anytime you like as well.
