The Big Tiny is just that - tiny house, big on amenities. It was a perfect stay for my husband and I in Corley's fantastic place. What the tiny house lacks in width is made up for in height and clever design. There are hooks everywhere, small shelves in nooks, light fixtures. We never felt cramped, and my 6'4" husband had no trouble at all. We did not use the kitchen, but it was set up just as smartly as the rest of the house. The bathroom is amazing. Again, it's small, but the hooks and shelving are so cleverly placed, there was room for all our bathroom stuff. (I have to make a special mention of the shower because I thought it was particularly great. Also, very soft towels!) The bed and bathroom door are perfectly placed so that I could sit on the bed and dry my hair, do my makeup, all while using the bathroom mirror. Like I said, Corley took great care to make the most out of the tiny house experience. The bed was very comfortable, and being in a cold snap, there were some extra snuggly blankets for us. My favorite spot in the Big Tiny was the porch. I sat out there more than I sat inside! Corley's outside space is just lovely - perfect for doing something or doing nothing. I especially enjoyed all the little birds coming to visit in the mornings, and there were different seating areas to enjoy - not just on the porch, but around an outdoor fireplace as well! I was grateful to get a few visits from Henry when I was outside. He is such a fine gentleman, we were immediate friends!!
This is the part where I gush about the location of this Airbnb. East Nashville/5 Points is the best area of the city. It is fully sidewalked and we were within walking distance of so many delicious eateries, pubs, and shops. Even though there were restaurants as close as half a block away, the street was never rowdy. I felt safe parking on the street and I felt very safe walking alone on the sidewalk. (Don't stay at the Big Tiny without walking over to Sweet 16th and ordering a "One to Go." Trust me.) The shops on Fatherland are less than a mile away. They are easy to pass by, but don't! Each shop is carefully placed in neat rows to make the most out of the overall shopping area. Be sure to spend lots of money at Gift Horse like I did, and pop into the Cake Project to try some heavenly cheesecake. They even have vegan options! In fact, there were MANY vegetarian and vegan options most everywhere we went! Five Points Alley Shops is another very close, very neat shopping area. Make an appointment to see Jane at Tertiary Sight! Even though we did walk a lot during the day, we also used Lyft quite a bit in the evenings. There was always a driver just 10 minutes or less away.
I have to wrap it up now because writing this review is making me want to drive immediately back to the Big Tiny!!! Again, this was a perfect stay - don't pass up the opportunity to make this your home away from home while you're in Nashville!
