Our experience at the Ashwood apartment was better than expected! Walking into the apartment was like taking a breath of fresh air. It was very clean, crisp and perfect for our party of 3. I do have to say the lighting wasn't great, but being an upstairs apartment it was understandable. We had all the basic necessities towels, blankets, toilet paper, paper towels, plates, glasses and some cookware was provided for us upon arrival. The bed was very comfortable and there were extra blankets available. The couch folds out for a third sleeping space and they provide a bed cushion to make it more comfortable. The kitchen was nicely equipped, although the the only cooking we did was on Thanksgiving because we really wanted to get the full experience of Nashville and the food is a big part of its southern flare. It was definitely the perfect place for 2 or 3 people.
As for location, it couldn't have been better! Only a few blocks away from Vanderbuilt, as described in the listing, and Belmont town near the colleges. There were cute clothing shops to visit, coffee shops, and some local restaurants. The accessibility to grocery & quick stop stores like CVS was definitely an advantage if you forgot something from home. Our favorite place to go in the morning for coffee and breakfast was in Belmont called the Bongo Java. 100% recommended if you're looking for something different other than Starbucks or Dublin donuts (which were also right down the main road). Our proximity to the city was no more than a 10 minute drive right into the main strip of the city of Nashville along Broadway Ave., or midtown, and downtown. This is the city for you if you want to hear live music! Walking down Broadway was incredible and there was music everywhere from noon till late at night when the bars closed. It was so awesome. Our favorite place to eat which we finally found our last night was Puckett's on Church st. Great food, great music, great service!! There were also Landmarks and museums to see and everywhere you went the people were nice, friendly and just havin' a great time!
It was a great experience being in Music city and I definitely recommend Marshall's listing!
