To be in downtown, or just outside?
We chose to be outside as we had a car and parking is a big deal at downtown locations.
The unit was only 5-7 minute drive from downtown. I was pleasantly surprised to find an underground and secured parking garage at the building, with a garage door opener for access. Even better, as we got a 3" snow storm while we were there, and there was no need to clean off the car! Downtown parking is $20 at the Ryman Theater lot, which is cheaper than 2-ways of Uber.
The unit is nicely equipped with higher quality toiletries, and there is (unusually) high amount of all the items so essential to a longer stay: extra rolls of paper, Tide pods, coffee for the Keurig, spices, and even things in the fridge. Even welcome power bars were awaiting! This is a nice change from many bare-bones ABnB (and others) we have rented over the years. Thank you Jennifer!
Bed was comfortable, full size laundry equipment, ice-maker made quick ice, and the double bathroom sink always appreciated.
Only reason for the 4 (out of 5) stars for check-in is that it requires Jennifer to buzz you in from her cell phone before you can get into the unit. Let her know your check-in time ahead so she can be available, lest you be left in the lot somewhat wondering how to get in! For us, she was right on cue, but future guests might catch her otherwise unavailable at the moment of arrival. This is just an extra step not needed at other units we have stayed at. On the plus size, this keeps the building secure, and was a small price to pay for the added security.
While in Nashville, we had a great steak dinner (and double pork chop) at Stoney River Steakhouse (out toward Vanderbilt Univ), a great evening and cigar at Blend (Church St downtown) and our highlight of our trip, watching the band Kelley's Heroes at Robert's Western World..a truly memorable jamming trio.
