Lori and Matt's place is beautiful, a huge period house, the kind that I love, with a large garden and deck at the back. It is situated on a really quiet, peaceful street parallel to Woodlands Street which goes from Downtown to 5 Points. There are loads of coffee shops, restaurants, bars and music venues and some great vintage shops like the Hip Zipper all within spitting distance. It is about a 1.5-2 mile walk downtown but is really straight forward and I did it several times although Uber is great too as there are always plenty in the area. I never had to wait more than 4 minutes for one! Lori and Matt are super hospitable and relaxed. I didn't see loads of them as I was out a lot and they were working but I felt very happy and relaxed staying with them for the week. The house is big, dark and cool inside, almost like a small stately home, which is great when its boiling hot outside. My room was at the end of a very long landing and looked out to the front. It was very peaceful and the bed was super comfortable and the bathrobes were a nice touch. Wi-fi is good and I was able to work in peace there too. Lori and Matt have a really cute dog and cat, so great for animal lovers and a home from home if you have pets of your own as I do! Their place is GREAT value and I would definitely recommend if you want to experience the hip end of Nashville, but be close to downtown.
