Merrilyn was such a gracious host and my wife and I enjoyed staying at her "charming private apartment" in East Nashville. Merrilyn was excellent at communicating. Her place was exceptionally clean, had a private parking space, and a very large bathroom. We rented a car and downtown was a short 10 minute drive to the west and the Grand Ole Opry was an equal drive to the east. East Nashville was a pleasant and fun area with great restaurants (The Pharmacy, Mas Tacos, Jeni's Ice Cream, and more that we did not have a chance to try) and an even better location. Can not wait for our next stay with Merrilyn!
