Emily and Sam's place in East Nashville was the perfect place for my wife and I to stay. Our son has been in Nashville for 3+ years. He has lived in East Nashville for the past year. When we visit him we love staying in the neighborhood. East Nashville is such a great area to be. It's a warm, comfortable, safe area. Great to walk around. Wonderful, fun bars and restaurants. Certainly there are things to see in other parts of the city. But there is no doubt about it, East Nashville is where you want to stay.
Emily and Sam's place was great. We had an entire house, including two bedrooms for less than half of what you would pay for one room in the most basic (but acceptable) hotel in Nashville. Arrangements were made quickly. Emily couldn't be more responsive. Checking into the house was super easy and efficient. The house itself was very clean. The beds comfortable. The linens on the beds and the towels provided were extra special, extra soft, and better than any hotel anywhere. There was a full compliment of amenities including soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and even a hair drier.
If you are planning a trip to Nashville - fine go to Broadway if you must. I guess everyone has to at least once. But then be sure to stay in East Nashville at Emily and Sam's.
