From the time we walked up to the house and John answered the door, we felt like we were welcomed in Nashville. The house is charming and the studio is very private and gave an ample amount of space to spread out and to relax in for the few moments we were actually in the house. The location is just out of the main hub but close enough to feel you are part of the action. The community of East Nashville is wonderful and the people are amazing. John is a gentle quiet person who obviously loved being a host and has mastered the art of making his guests feel important but offering them autonomy. He went above and beyond to have a few special requests for us and we really appreciated that. This was our first experience with airbnb and I would rate it very high to do it again!
