Karen was an incredibly gracious host. She was welcoming and helped me to immediately feel comfortable in her home. Karen provided several ideas for places to eat around Nashville, she gave some suggestions on where to hear live music, and she had lots of brochures available to look at for ideas of what to do while visiting the city. There was even a book on day trips from Nashville, which I hope to take advantage of next time I'm there!

The home was lovely, and incredibly peaceful. My room had a couple of chairs in it and was so comfortable that I ended up spending much of the time when I was actually at her home (as opposed to out exploring) in the bedroom, though Karen had told me I was welcome to hang out in the common rooms whenever I liked. Though it was July in Nashville, I was perfectly comfortable in the room--not too hot or too cold.

I had concerns that East Nashville would be very far away from things I wanted to do but it wasn't at all. I found the place easily and there was plenty of parking for my rental car. The neighborhood was, again, quiet and peaceful--the title of this listing is really quite apt!

The back deck was so inviting and comfortable. I loved being able to enjoy sitting on the porch in the morning or evening. The enclosed porch allowed me the opportunity to unwind and enjoy the cool breeze--it was wonderful to be able to really relax.

I really hope to get back to Nashville soon. Though I made my way to a lot of sites, there's still a lot to see and do. I will definitely be looking Karen up when I make my way back down to Tennessee.
