We really enjoyed our trip to Nashville and staying at the Avalon. We brought our two sons, ages 4 and 1.5 years old. The apartment definitely met our needs and Deidre even put out some balls and outside games for us to play in the front yard. The deck was very nice. Nothing really walkable in the area with kids, although we did walk to the park a few blocks away one morning. Very nice amenities and cozy feel. Felt at home which is nearly impossible when traveling with small kids.
