Amy and Ben's place is a studio apartment above their detached garage. The garage is far enough away from the main house, that it truly feels like it's own deal. It's bright and roomy and in no way feels like a typical garage apartment. It's decorated simply, but with some stylish touches. The location can't be beat - less than a five-minute walk from 12th Ave South where you'll find many trendy restaurants and shops. I patronized two of Amy's recommendations, Portland Brew and Edley's Barbecue, both of which were big hits.

I met Amy and their cutie-patootie daughter Daphne upon arrival. She showed me the unit and couldn't have been more hospitable. I am confident that if I had any additional needs while there she would have been more than accommodating. They provided coffee, and I also think I glanced some beer in the mini-fridge.

I would happily return to Amy and Ben's place if my travels brought me back to Nashville.
