Jim is cool.
We had never been to Nashville before and didn't realize the distinction between touristy downtown Broadway and more local East Nashville. We were so pleasantly surprised when we got the best of both worlds: a great house to stay in with a great host AND walking distance to great local bars and restaurants.
Our Lyft rides to and from major tourist sites were quick and affordable from his place.
Jim was easy to communicate with and already had a great list of places to visit as well as info on Nashville and local venues like the Ryman and Blue Bird Cafe. He was friendly and easy to talk with. We both really enjoyed his historical information about the city too.
Jim's house is over 100 years old and amazing. The neighborhood is great and his decor was a great mix of modern and classic. The room was comfortable and Jim provided bathrobes for the bathroom which was a great added touch.
Our first visit to Nashville was such a great experience and staying with Jim in his wonderful house had a huge part to play in how great our trip was.
