We haven't visited Nashville in quite a long time. We were only passing through and spending the night to catch a morning plane.

John's place in East Nashville was the perfect spot to spend the night. He's done a magnificent job of restoring his house, and his care as a host shows in every aspect. The upstairs suite was immaculate and well furnished. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space to feel at home. While there is not a kitchen per se upstairs, John provides many helpful amenities, such as microwave, coffee pot, coffee, tea, utensils, refrigerator and other necessities. The large bathroom was beautiful and well stocked with many products that a traveler might need but not have brought.

John and his lovely, gentle dog greeted us as we arrived and gave us a complete tour of our accommodations. While we didn't go out for the evening, John gave us a number of suggestions for places to eat and shop in this vibrant, historic community.

Nashville is not very large, so if you have a car many areas are within a 20 to 30 minute drive. And, East Nashville is very convenient to the airport, as well as downtown.

We enjoyed our brief stay, and heartily recommend John's suite for any Nashville travelers.
