The only time we used our car was to go to the Opry. We walked the remainder of our trip. Once you visit the attractions you will appreciate even more the location of Amanda’s unit, you are surrounded by recording studios. It was quiet, safe and you can find food, drinks, and live music 5 minutes away. The stairs are minimal we were worried about our older dog but there were only 4 stairs from the unit out the front door. Great location, great price, great place.
