I had a great stay in Rick's beautiful Nashville studio. His place is a great value being so affordable and extremely close to downtown. The studio itself is really clean with attention to every detail including a comfortable bed, a great shower, a small kitchen and fast wireless internet. Rick even supplies things like coffee, bottled water, shampoo and many comforts of home for which you might expect to shop - what a bonus. Another bonus is having a courtyard outside that you share with his other guests. I had some drinks and great conversations with guests visiting from Illinois staying in the larger house. This is a great benefit for solo travelers. Rick is super organized. Directions and details for everything are meticulously delivered. He responded to texts quickly and even stopped by the studio to give me a quick lesson on the heating system. What a great guy! Given all the previous reviews about the neighborhood, I thought I should mention that I never had any problems and certainly never felt unsafe. The only thing I might say about the neighborhood (and this is REALLY picky) is Rick's place is pretty close to the highway and you can hear the speeding trucks passing. The HVAC system also frequently makes noise when the vent opens and closes. So if you are a very light sleeper, you might consider packing some ear plugs. Or better yet, plan some great nights of country music and safely indulge in alcohol like me - I slept like a baby :) Thanks again for a great weekend Rick.
