GOSH! This place is awesome! From the moment we booked this place and had our first correspondence with John we knew we were going to be well taken care of.
John is the epitome of hospitality. From his warm welcome with craft beers, teas, freshly ground coffee, granola bars, fresh fruit, extra pillows and blankets, soft towels, extra toiletries and charming eclectic decorations we knew hit the jackpot. John was friendly, easy to talk to and get great suggestions for local flavors and exploring the neighborhood and Nashville.
One of our favorite parts of staying at A Clean, Quiet Suite in a Great Neighborhood, (and boy does it live up to its name,) was sitting out on the lovely balcony in the morning drinking freshly brewed coffee. Not only was John a wonderful host and offered a clean and comfortable place to stay, but his home is situated perfectly in a quiet neighborhood with many walkable parks and and places to grab a bite or a drink. One morning we walked to 5 daughters bakery and had our first cronut (a croissant in the form of donut) , a must try if you’ve never had one before! You also must stop at I Dream of Weenie for the best hot dog you’ll ever have and the Grill Shack for the best burger you will sink your teeth into. Do your self a favor and look through all of John’s wonderful pictures and read the descriptions to get more great food suggestions!
One day we drove about 20 minutes to Percy Warner Park for some fantastic hiking with a beautiful overlook of downtown Nashville. We stopped by Barbara’s Home Cookin (right down the road from the park) for some southern comfort food. Radnor Park is another near by state park, (also free entry but limited parking so be aware of peak visiting hours) with beautiful views around the lake as well as an abundance of wild life, (we saw a couple dozen turkeys, a dozen deer and a dozen turkeys on our 3 mile hike.)
Another day we went to the Belle Meade Plantation for a tour and wine tasting (would highly recommend the Journey to Jubilee tour.) It was an enjoyable and informative experience.
We spent a day downtown ( a quick 10 minute drive from John’s) and visited the Tennessee State Museum (free admission) which gave an incredible extensive overview of Tennessee history. (When we say extensive we mean extensive from formation of earth to present day). When we finished we walked to the farmers market right next door and had the best steak tacos from 2 Peruvians chefs in a truck. We enjoyed a second lunch at Hattie B’s because we had to try the famous hot chicken. So glad we did! Hattie B’s Midtown was the place to do it! We then ended the night listening to fantastic live local bands at the Burboun Street Blues and Boogie bar in Printers Alley. It was an incredible ending to our getaway in Nashville.
We are so glad we took our last minute getaway to Nashville and had the fortunate chance of staying at A Clean, Quiet Suite in a Great Neighborhood. We can’t wait for our next trip back and would love to stay with John again.
