A couple of friends, my better half, and I recently chose Ting’s beautiful place as our home away from home during our first trip to Nashville.

The location was just perfect for us: tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood surrounded by great dining options and unique local shops, the house is only 5-10 minutes away from some of the best eateries in Nashville (Margot, Lockeland Table, The Treehouse, Barista Parlor, Five Daughters Bakery) and 15-20 minutes away from all the excitement that downtown, Music Row, and trendy Germantown (home to Rolf & Daughters and Cochon Butcher) have to offer.

It was really nice to explore different parts of the city and know that we could always pop in for a nap or simply come home to a beautiful house on a fairly big lot in a charming neighborhood. And when we didn’t feel like driving our rental car or were concerned about parking downtown on a busy weekend night, Uber and Lyft did the trick! (We never waited more than 5 minutes from the time we requested our ride to the time our driver showed up at our doorstep.)

The house itself was very spacious yet welcoming. The generously proportioned kitchen provided a smooth transition between two separate living areas that were perfect for those times when we wanted to read while our friends watched TV. Each one of the smaller bedrooms had a nice chair and the impressive master suite had an equally amazing en-suite bathroom. The master suite king-sized bed, by the way, was the most comfortable bed we’ve experienced in a long time. Finally, we found the decor throughout the house to be modern, playful and whimsical yet warm and cozy where it mattered.

Our wonderful stay was nicely matched by Ting’s kindness, unobtrusive attention to detail, and flawless responsiveness. When a couple of technical glitches kept me from booking the property at the first attempt, he quickly reached out to me and reassured me that my reservation was safe. He provided amazing restaurant and entertainment recommendations in preparation for our trip and, once we were in Nashville, he was happy to provide supplemental recommendations and guide us through the checkout process.

We consider ourselves lucky to have stayed at Ting’s home, and we’re happy to know we have a friend in Nashville!
