I highly recommend Mary's place! The apartment itself is bright, clean and spacious with everything you may need and more, the side entrance provides a feeling of privacy, and the large fenced yard is perfect for throwing the ball around for a doggy (if you've got one).
The neighbourhood is great to walk around in, everyone is so friendly. It feels central and is close to downtown Nashville, (a short uber or car journey) but is far enough out that it gives respite when you're done with the Honky Tonks of Broadway.
Mary was a supremely professional host with all kinds of helpful info and great communication. I would definitely stay here again!
Thanks Mary!
