Mike met us at the condo and walked us through. He gave us helpful advice and directions to local restaurants and grocery stores. The condo was pristine and most of it seemed to be recently updated. The kitchen had all the dishware and utensils needed to make your own meals. The washer and dryer are new and worked perfectly. Wi-Fi worked fine. The TV had basic cable which we had no problem with since we rarely watched it. The tenants and guests in the adjacent units were quite and polite when we saw them. The neighborhood is very quite and all residents we encountered were friendly.

We didn't have a car so had to rely on taxis and walking. It takes about 30-45 minutes to walk to the downtown area due west of the condo or a 10 minute taxi ride. We arrived on an unusually busy weekend and calling to get a taxi to come and get us proved to be difficult. We had the most reliable experience during our stay with Checker Cab. We didn't try Lyft (rideshare app), the bus, or rent bikes. Going east we walked to Five Points shops and restaurants in 10 minutes.

The 1930s bungalows with beautiful porches which each owner decorated differently proved to be endlessly fascinating. One late afternoon I arrived back from downtown and came upon an on-location filming of the TV show Nashville down the block from the condo. It didn't draw much attention or disturb the neighborhood.

The Olive and Sinclair chocolate factory is 5 blocks east on 14th and Fatherland. You can see them making chocolate through the glass windows in the store outlet and the smell is heavenly. But beware, they charge one dollar more per chocolate bar than most stores who carry them including Turnip Truck natural foods just a few blocks away.
The largest grocery store is Kroger a little over a mile northeast. There is a small grocery, Bill Martin's, 3 blocks east at the corner of 11th and Fatherland. You can get K cup coffee cartridges there (for the condo coffee maker which I couldn't find at Kroger.

In my travels I enjoy living like the natives, far enough away from the tourist sites and heavy traffic but close enough to get to them quickly. This location fit these requirements perfectly.
