My wife and I visited for three days on a pleasure trip with tickets to a Friday night show at the Ryman. We chose to stay in East Nashville as an alternative to the downtown madness. Michael & Mary Beth's place turned out to be the perfect choice. The place is very clean, bright, fresh and comfortable. Good livable space for two located in a recently constructed dual purpose building behind the host's home. We did not cook, but the kitchen area appeared to have the essential cooking items. Coffee and snacks provided, Internet worked great and everything was in good working order. Bed was comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet at night (and during the day for that matter). Easy parking. For what we like to do, the location is fantastic. The property is in a very cool historic residential area featuring well-kept turn of the century bungalows. We bike, and the property is next to a good sized park and paved greenway along the Cumberland River that connects to at least two other greenways. Its a short walk to a great coffee shop. Short to moderate walk (within and up to a mile) to really good restaurant and bar options in and around the Five Points area. The furthest we walked was 1.3 miles to the Basement East for live music in conjunction with the Americana Festival, stopping to eat along the way. We felt very safe walking back after closing time. The Uber ride into downtown was between 8 and 11 bucks depending on the timing. But if not for our Ryman tickets, we probably would not have left the East Nashville area. Micheal and Mary Beth are right there if needed, and we enjoyed a nice conversation as we were departing. Highly recommend! Hopefully available next time we're in town!
