I stayed for one week with Meredith and it was truly lovely!

Meredith went above and beyond as a host. When I arrived the room was exactly as pictured, and she had set aside a nice spare blanket for me in case I was cold. I didn't know anyone in Nashville and I'm pretty shy so I was worried about visiting places on my own. She took me around and gave me a tour of Nashville, along with drawing me a little map and listing locations I might enjoy eating or visiting, including landmarks and places to hear great live music. I worked while I was visiting and left around 5am daily, as well as going to bed really early. I never felt that there were any troubles with our schedules and things were nice and quiet when I needed to sleep.

I was always invited to take part in what Meredith was doing and we spent some lovely evenings watching Nashville (IN Nashville!) and had some wine around the fire in the back yard, but if you wanted to do your own thing there would certainly be space for that also. I was very grateful to have such a friendly and accommodating host show me around in an unfamiliar city! I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future and if I stay in Nashville again, I will be giving Meredith a call!

Meredith does have some very friendly mainly outdoor cats, which was wonderful for me as someone who was missing their cats at home. She also has a friendly elderly pup. I think an animal lover would be the best fit as a guest, but they were very unobtrusive if you wanted to give them space (personally, I enjoyed their company very much!)

Thanks for a great visit! I would definitely recommend this space to anyone considering visiting Nashville, especially if you are hoping to be walking distance to Vanderbilt in a safe neighborhood with a great host :)!!
