11/10 for design and overall aesthetic here. If you are a person who appreciates the effort taken to source groovy vintage pieces and create a space that feels original and brand new, stay here. And then spend part of your time soaking up the excellent book selection. A LOT of thought and love and hard work went into designing this special cottage.
Another 11/10 for cleanliness. It looks and feels brand new. Airbnb uses the term “sparkling clean” in their rating system - it truly applies here.
The hosts are kind and accommodating.
Super quick and easy Uber access.
East Nashville is growing at light speed, and this place is right at the core. That said, it felt cozy and quiet and tucked away, and we felt completely safe walking several blocks at night. The structure itself sits close behind the main home, and is easily accessed through a side gate. Eons of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants are within a one mile radius. Our favorites were Dose for coffee and a quick bite, Two Ten Jack for phenomenal ramen (also great atmosphere, great service and great cocktails), and Babo for late-night (i.e., midnight - this is key because it was hard to find places serving food this late) Korean and drinks. A bit further afield we loved breakfast at Marché. In 12 South we had good craft beers at The Filling Station, which is a tiny spot on a side street, and a pretty nice respite from the crowd. Also highly recommend seeing whatever happens to be at the Frist Art Museum. The Art Deco building itself is stunning. We were lucky enough to see the current “Native Women Artists” on view through 1/12/20.
