Fran was incredible! She made sure I had everything I could possibly want, from leaving local beer in the fridge for me to try, to making sure I had sheets to pop on the couch in case of friends staying the night. I have a Great Dane and was so glad that Fran's guesthouse was as nice and big as it is, plus with a little yard to was so easy to let my dog outside to sniff around while I took a quick rest from exploring the area. Her place is so conveniently located, I could walk to several coffee shops (a must for me), restaurants, bars and shops, and I felt comfortable and safe walking my dog around at night.
I definitely recommend staying at Fran's place for a great host, location and jumping off point to explore East Nashville!
