This apartment is very cute, quaint and cozy. It was in a great location & everything that we needed. We loved the quietness of the neighborhood, it was a needed break from the hustle and bustle of downtown! Loved the easy access to the highway, as we had a rental car and drove all around exploring Nashville.
Some of our favorites were: Party Fowl for hot chicken, Yazoo Brewery, seeing the gorgeous wall murals in 12 South and Gulch, Acme Feed and Seed for sunset rooftop views, The Stage (fun honkey tonk) and Roberts Western World (classic honkey tonk). You must make the drive out to Loveless Cafe for amazing breakfast but go EARLY. before 9:00 am.
Close to the apartment: dining... we had a very yummy burger at Browns Diner (and enjoyed chatting with locals). It's a dive but so good. Chago's Cantina for yummy mexican and margaritas.
Day trips: Leipers Fork was so beautiful and the drive was incredible, mansions and horse farms everywhere. You must get a pork sandwich at Pucketts Grocery.
Nightlife: we really enjoyed Division Street (Winners, Losers, Rebar) for dancing, cheaper drinks and an overall good time.
Brunch: if you're downtown, The Southern is very good.
Nature/outdoorsy: we drove 1.5 hour to Rock Island State Park and hiked to see a magnificent waterfall. The drive was beautiful, too. Also check out Percy Warner Parks for local hiking.
Nashville is such a great city and I hope to return one day. I'll stay at Karen's apartment again!!
