Our stay at Matt's home in a residential neighborhood was flawless. The neighborhood itself is a short 10 minutes by Uber from the country Carnival that is Broadway. The neighborhood itself is an old-fashioned tree-lined area with lots of newly renovated and some early 20th-century architecture. It was a delight to walk around and have people saying "good evening" to you.
There is a very large supermarket which is about a 10-minute walk along with other amenities (whiskey and restaurants) nearby. Rolf and Daughters is a world-class farm to table restaurant with a very funky and cool vibe.
The house itself is behind a white picket fence and a simple but airtight security system using keypads. Upon entering, there were very comfortable and semi-retro furnishings that felt good after a long day at a conference. The floors are hardwood and in terrific condition. The living room also has a fireplace and a record player with a selection of classic country vinyl. The kitchen is modernistic and sparsely elegant with all that you need to cook a big meal or sit around the island with take-out.
There's a super futuristic Keurig with a nice array of coffees and tea. Off the kitchen, there are laundry machines and an ironing board. Opening the back door from the kitchen you're presented with a very comfortable balcony which is a great place to sit and chill with a beer and discuss the day's activities. There were some neighbors in the next yard over and they were very nice and greeted us as well. It was like being back in small-town Ohio where I was born.
There is a grand staircase leading up to the 2nd floor. There is one full bath at the top of the stairs next to two large bedrooms. I got to grab the 3rd bedroom, which is en suite and has fantastic closet space. The room is also tastefully appointed with a big coffered ceiling and the shower and bath are modern and very tasteful. All the amenities that we would need were there. I also enjoyed the use of a walkout balcony with a nice view of the flowering trees and the quiet neighborhood.
My friends and I both felt that the beds were more comfortable than usual and the linens and towels were soft and high-end. All the windows have southern style wood slat blinds.
I know I'll stay here again if Matt is agreeable, as I'm seriously considering finding a place with my wife permanently moved to Nashville. Thank you very much Matt, this was above and beyond.
