Our stay at Becky's place was nothing less than amazing. Some of the highlights:
1) The place itself had everything we needed. The bed was SO comfortable, the neighborhood is quiet, the TV had cable and all the apps you could need, we were left with plenty of soap and bodywash, etc.
2) Becky was out of town when we arrived, so her co-host Dave helped us out. Dave was AMAZING! We arrived into town early in the morning, and he allowed us to leave our bags with him and then do some exploring. It was 100+ degrees outside, so we were having a hard time walking around to kill enough time before our 4pm check in. Dave didn't make us wait, and he allowed us to come by the house to relax while he did the thorough cleaning. Above and beyond.
3) Utilize Becky's guidebook! You can see it here online, or she leaves a whole bunch of notes printed out for you when you arrive. It was so amazing have so much information at our disposal. Seriously, it was about 10 pages of things to do, best places to eat, how to get around, and more.
4) East Nashville, in general, is not what I expected. If you're coming here and know nothing about Nashville, there's one pocket of East Nashville that has a bunch of shops, and then there are some other bright stops sprinkled throughout the town. But overall, there are a lot of abandoned buildings and out of business shops. We did not feel unsafe, but we definitely had a different idea of East Nashville. That being said, Edley's is basically one block away, The Pharmacy (amazing burgers) is right down the street, and you're 0.5 miles away from the heart of Five Points where there's some great shops.
5) Uber was very easy to use to get around here, but we utilized B-cycle a lot. There's a docking station in the heart of Five Points, and you can bike by taking some side streets right into downtown or the surrounding area. You can technically walk downtown, but the stretch between this home and downtown is not great. The Uber downtown will cost you about $6, or you can go an even shorter distance and get dropped at Nissan Stadium to walk right over the pedestrian bridge.
All in all, we had a great stay and we definitely recommend!
