We wanted to stay in a place where we would feel comfortable enough to chill out when we wanted a break from playing tourist. We couldn't see ourselves doing this in a hotel or apartment in downtown. We also wanted to experience local neighbourhoods whilst still being close enough to downtown and attractions that we could get to and from them easily and inexpensively. Sara's apartment and East Nashville is exactly what we were looking for. Perfectly clean, very comfortable bed, with every amenity we could possibly need and independent access to the apartment. Situated in a beautiful and safe neighbourhood, and walking distance to dozens of really great restaurants, cafes and bars, boutique stores, plus two supermarkets. A bus to downtown was also a short walk away, which we made use of most days, and a Lyft was only $5-8. Sara was quick to respond to questions, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone who wants easy access to all the usual attractions but doesn’t want to stay in the madhouse that is downtown.
