Paul and I had a fantastic time with James. When we arrived after a long drive, he was having friends over for a cookout, and we were welcomed with open arms from all. It was a very nice way to end the evening and start off our vacation. Throughout the week, James was exceedingly helpful. We tried to eat at nearly every restaruant he recommended (there are lots of good eats in East Nashville and they're all soooo good!), and he was always pleasant and welcoming when we were in and out--we never felt like we were imposing or burdensome. The room was cozy and lovely, and the rest of the house was supurb--very comfortable, clean, modern, and well appointed. The deck and yard were great for evening relaxation, and the location was perfect--we were within walking distance to so many wonderful shops and restaruants, and the trip into downtown Nashville was only a few short minutes. Our trip was relaxing, low-key, and completely enjoyable, due in large part to James's hospitality and recommendations. We'd stay with him again in a heartbeat and we hope one day he'll head our way so we can return the favor!
