Love, love, love the east Nashville neighborhood! Bobby's place was so close to all the cute bars, shops and activities! This apartment was the perfect size for a weekend stay and we were greeted with some great special touches. Bobby had printed out so many helpful tools to navigate us around the city. A NYT article about the area, a list of his favorite places to frequent and even a super-handy map laying out the entire city. On top of that he had stocked the breakfast bar with coffee, tea, bars, chips and, most importantly, two chocolate bars from the local chocolate factory, Olive & Sinclair. What a treat!

The apartment is behind the main house, but has really easy access to the upstairs unit, via a lighted brick path. The apartment looked just like the pictures but had so many great features! We spent the 30 minutes just checking out all the beautiful finishes. The apartment seems like it was very newly renovated and was done with impeccable taste. There are so many amazing light fixtures in the space, we were blown away! It seems so small, but the automatic sensor light in the bathroom lets you know how much thought was put into the build out.

There are tons of windows in this unit that make the space feel light and airy and still maintain your privacy. And even though you have neighbors on all sides, the tranquil backyard and garden make you feel like you are on a piece of land by yourself.

We aren't much for late night binge drinking, which seems to be what the downtown crowd visits for. You can't turn around without running into an overly intoxicated bachelorette party. But East Nashville is a totally different scene. Quiet neighborhood streets, low key bars, understated delicious restaurants and great shopping.

We toured the Olive & Sinclair chocolate factory, shopped the cute stores on Fatherland, at ice cream at the Pied Piper and explored the local flea market. It was an amazing trip that was only made better by Bobby's superb hosting skills and very comfy apartment. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! We will absolutely book Bobby's place the next time we come back to Nashville.
