We booked a year ahead to ensure a vacation stay for the eclipse on 8/21/17. Debra's cottage more than lived up to expectations. It is bright and modern in a lovely quiet neighborhood, and is walking distance to 5 Points where we enjoyed several meals and a nostalgic Monday evening of 60s and 70s dance music at the 5 Stop club.
Easy Lyft rides brought us to and from the airport (around $20) and took us downtown to sample the other attractions of Nashville. (Best to avoid rides 8-9 am and 5-6 pm when costs rocketed.) Try out the Blues bar in Printer's Alley as a change from Broadway. Best meal of the trip? Martin's Bar-B-Que on 4th Ave, south of Korean Veteran's Boulevard. (Ask to sit at the bar or you could have a long wait!)
