Sheetal's place is an excellent option for someone who wants to be close to downtown but not near all the madness. We stayed there for the Rock N' Roll Marathon. It was the perfect distance from the start line but we were not impacted by the race traffic. We never had to drive more than 10 minutes to get anywhere and there are plenty of walking distance restaurants. Also, the easy parking was great, especially since parking is such a challenge in Nashville! Overall, it was a great place to stay and I would stay there again!
