What a soothing stay! This apartment is the bottom floor of a two story house. There is direct access to a yard complete with a small creek and many trees full of songbirds. There is also a small patio with a small sofa and two rocking chairs around a fire pit. We didn't use the fire pit, but thanks to the roof over the patio, we were able to enjoy some heavy rain and thunder.
Inside there is a dining table for four and a cabinet with plenty of mugs, glasses, dishes, bowls and utensils. There is no kitchen, but there is a microwave, a small refrigerator, and a water fountain. The fountain provides really cold and really hot water. The hosts also provide a Keurig coffee brewer and a variety of pods along with honey and creamer. The hosts also provide a tray for dirty dishes which they wash and return.
The dining area is shared with the living room. It has a gas fireplace with a tv on the mantle. The tv doesn't receive signal very well, but there is a DVD player and a selection of movies on DVD. There is a large sofa with a side table, and a large coffee table and a chair across from it. The lighting is good, and the room as three windows to let in natural light.
The bathroom is down a hall. It is comfortable, and has shelf space above the toilet and a caddy in the shower. The hosts provide body wash, shampoo and conditioner. They also leave extra towels in a cabinet. The shower head is adjustable but the water pressure is low and the hot water takes a while to reach you.
The bedroom is at the end of the hall. It has a queen bed with night stands, a sofa, a closet with hangers, and a large dresser. The mattress is very comfortable, firm. The bedding was comfortable as well. The hosts provide extra pillows and blankets. There are two windows, one of which has a small AC unit, though the apartment shares central air with the floor above.
The apartment is very comfortable. Parking is on the premises underneath their balcony, a few feet away from the apartment. Our large SUV fit no problem and the hatch opened all the way. The neighborhood is quiet. For those who enjoy walks, there are parks and trails nearby.
Also, you can choose between visiting a bustling Nashville, or a calmer Franklin. We visited Franklin and found it very welcoming and charming with many boutiques, restaurants, and a few specialty stores.
If I ever visit Nashville again, I hope this apartment is available! In addition to the comfort and the convenient location, the hosts were very attentive and exceeded expectation.
