Cheapsted Cottage is a great space and the perfect base if you're wanting to explore East Nashville or the Downtown area. Everything you could need from great bars to coffee shops to restaurants are within walking distance and everything else is an affordable cab ride away.
True to the description, the bathroom in the cottage is quite small, but this was absolutely no problem. It fits with the character of the place and certainly didn't bother us the week we stayed. It's a little funny brushing your teeth in the kitchen sink, but the fact you get to wear Bill Monroe's hat while doing so certainly gave us a giggle.
Carolyn and her family are super friendly and super accommodating and we had no problems communicating with them during our stay. They were kind enough to even let us leave our luggage with them when our flights got shuffled about, even though they had guests arriving that day.
Their dog Otis will give a little bork the first time he meets you, but the minute he gets a sniff he's happy enough to let you come and go from his yard as you please. He really endeared himself to us.
