Since we wanted to write an "objective" review, we first thought, well, let's see, can we find anything negative? And well, yes, we found 1 thing:
That we had to leave again ;-) Joking aside, we really would not have minded staying longer in Ruth' great apartment, if only we had more time.
She was a wonderful host and the apartment is amazing. We loved the view of the Cumberland river and the apartment is furnished very thoughtfully with everything we might have needed, even electric blankets and super comfortable beds. The neighborhood is very nice and peaceful, too. And thank you so much for all the snacks and food you provided for us on our arrival, we could not possibly have eaten all of it, but were so happy about the fruit and OJ and snacks and coffee and so much more! We felt very welcome and absolutely enjoyed our stay.
The apartment was also very quiet, we never heard any noise from the General Jackson showboat or anything else. It is far away from the railroad, so we did not wake up in the middle of the night from a train blowing its horn, either (we had that once on another stay in a hotel, that is why we checked before). We are quite noise sensitive (for example, we are not used to air conditioning and its noise, so we always switch these off at night), but we slept just fine, because everything was really very quiet and peaceful. Ruth was worried we might have heard her puppy (dog), but we never heard anything, so no worries there, Ruth :-) BTW: The puppy is sooo cute :-)))
What we also enjoyed was the groundhog, although we only saw it a few times from afar, mostly sunbathing on some stones. So cute. We had never seen a real groundhog before, so that was something really special for us, too.
All in all, it was the perfect apartment for us, not far from downtown or the Opry, very nice and peaceful and Ruth is a perfect and caring host. If we come back to Nashville, we will make sure to come back to this apartment. Thanks again for the perfect stay, Ruth!

Short German version: Tolles Apartment, perfekt ausgestattet, sehr bequeme Betten, ruhige Lage direkt am Fluss. Schöne Nachbarschaft. Manchmal hat sich ein Murmeltier blicken lassen. Super nette Gastgeberin, zur Begrüßung jede Menge Essen im Kühlschrank. Ruth hat sich wirklich sehr nett um ums gekümmert und wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Nächstes Mal kommen wir sehr gerne wieder :-) Vielen lieben Dank! Christine und Jürgen
