Merrilyn's apartment is everything she advertises and more. She and her helper Linda, went out of their way for me upon my arrival. You see I came in from the airport at 1am in the morning and became a little lost and confused about the directions printed from Google maps. I called Linda and she met me, at the gas station I was calling from, to guide me safely to the apartment. The apartment was clean, well stocked, comfortable and has been put together with the love of an artist. She also left me some handmade cherry jam from her cherry trees in her garden. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and hope to do so again. She and her friends are genuine and warm and I highly recommend her apartment. I almost forgot to mention she has put together a very informative video about East Nashville.
