The "Loft" was fabulous, as was host Connie. The interior is very well laid out and more spacious than photos can illustrate… great feeling of openness with a series of large windows, most overlooking expansive Shelby Park just steps away. The Loft is in the top (second) floor of a free-standing separate building close behind the main house and is very private… you can see out in many directions, but nobody can see in. Everything inside is new, clean and working. While a rural-type neighborhood setting, the drive to downtown Nashville is 15 minutes tops.

Connie leaves a ton of local brochures, menus and books especially on the hip East Nashville scene. She also texted a couple of suggestions (like a lobster roll special at a favorite lunch spot) and answered every question I had with enthusiasm. Hearing I drank tea, she bought an electric water kettle (thanks!). All that said, she leaves you alone to do your own thing.

I'd re-up in a heartbeat… thanks.
