Mario and Liz's home was perfect. My family and I (wife, in-laws and our 2 pups) were in town for a vacation that culminated with the Rock n' Roll Half Marathon over the weekend. The home itself was spotless and the perfect balance between historical charm and modern amenities. There is a large, completely fenced in back yard that afforded both privacy and endless hours of entertainment for our two golden retrievers. The location was also everything we'd hoped for. Located just off 8th street, it is within walking distance to Hattie B's Hot Chicken, a great coffee shop (8th & Roast) and a supermarket (Publix). While it's only a 10 minute drive to downtown Nashville, the neighborhood itself feels very suburban and we always felt safe. If you want shops/restaurants but don't feel like dealing with the hustle & bustle of a major city, the "12 South" neighborhood is just a mile away and not to be missed. When we return to Nashville, Mario & Liz's home will be at the top of our list! A+++++!
