We felt welcome from the moment we walked up the stairs of Tom and Mary's adorable house and saw the porch swing in front of our room. Even though the picture shows a very inviting room, it was still beyond our expectations due to little personal touches like Mary's baked goods in the room, personal care supplies in the bath (which we didn't need, but still...), and the wonderfully young and vibrant neighborhood that is East Nashville. The coffee place a few doors down is fantastic. Overall a much better value and experience than a hotel room.
