My daughter and I visited Nashville for a quick weekend getaway, and we couldn’t have chosen a more cozy and inviting “home away from home” nestled in Nashville’s woodsy west side, away from the tourists and busyness of downtown and west side shopping districts (though neither was too far away). Debbie was a lovely host who provided us with all the comforts of home, and we were always glad to return after an active day to relax. We visited the beautiful Cheekwood Mansion and Botanical Garden, located nearby, and we were excited to find McKay’s Books and Parnassus Books within easy driving distance. The downtown attractions are a 20-30 minute drive (we went to a Nashville Sounds baseball game and visited the National African-American Music Museum, an absolute must-see for music lovers, located directly across the street from the Ryman Auditorium, another must-see attraction). Our trip was made complete by Debbie’s thoughtfulness, delicious banana bread, and very comfortable accommodations. (One important incentive for my choosing her apartment for our stay was the fact that, unlike several other hosts, she did not raise her rent for the weekend! A word of caution for anyone wary of large dogs—Emmie Lou is a sweet tempered poodle mix who loves to greet guests by jumping on them for a “hug.” My daughter and I are dog people and we loved her eager friendliness, but others might not care for the attention. She seems to stay outside or in the main house most of the time.) Overall, an excellent experience and we hope to return. My daughter has traveled and stayed in many Airbnbs, and she rates this as one of her favorite experiences.
