Cathryne was responsive and communicative, sending me not only information about my stay and perfect driving directions but also recommendations for places around the neighborhood. I loved the neighborhood. Coming from NYC it felt like I was in the "country", so lush and green, yet it was a quick (five minute) drive to popular spots in East Nashville and easy driving to the rest of Nashville.

Cathryne seems to really enjoy her role as host, warmly welcoming guests into her (GORGEOUS!) home and to Nashville, a city she clearly loves. (Her husband David was not in town during my stay.) The space is set up like a hotel-room in that it is self-sustaining: private entrance, bathroom, TV, as well as nice touches like coffee maker with pods, toaster, and items in the mini-fridge like muffins and cream for coffee. It is perhaps worth mentioning, that the main house, though pictured on the website, is not necessarily part of the arrangement. That being said, Cathryne seems flexible on that point, and it is not uncommon for she and her husband to invite their guests into their home for a glass of wine or a chat.

The space itself is well appointed, airy, bright, very clean and comfortable. It was a little chilly when I went to bed the first night but that was quickly remedied by the...Heated. Mattress. Pad. HEAVEN! The bathroom is spa-like--large rain-style shower head with great water pressure, lots of plush towels, etc.

I would have welcomed more time visiting with Cathryne--she is lovely and personable but alas, I was only there for two nights with a busy agenda. In all, my experience here was excellent and I can highly recommend this space and its hosts.
