Loved our long weekend stay at Casa Lola this last July. First of all, the home itself is beautiful -- a classic Victorian in every way, from the unique layout to the charmingly creaky floorboards -- and also features a great private and modern bathroom for use.
I fell in love with the neighborhood of East Nashville where the house resides, with tons of great restaurants, good breweries and shops, and a more chilled-out live music scene than the distilled riot of downtown. Lori left us a perfect guide of favorite spots in the neighborhood, careful to mention which spots were favorites and which were walkable. While we were in for the 4th of July, this guide proved essential when most places were closed.
We didn't stay too long, just 3 nights and 2 days, and since it was our first time in Nashville, we had to check off a lot of tourist attractions. I definitely felt like I could have picked Lori's brain for more information, as she was very friendly, gracious, and polite. She even left us a great little "visitor bag" that included some water bottles, towels, and local candy to try to feel at home! Wish we could have spent more time with her, but she made our stay as easy as could be!
Note: there was a funny little cat in the house for those with allergies and a dog outdoors, but both were very well behaved and trained, and never once bothered us.
