A real gem! The only complaint is one I would lodge against myself - I wish I had made more of an effort to get to know our hosts. My husband and I tend to keep to ourselves and were busy with a wedding and visiting family outside the city during our time in Nashville. By the time I realized we were not going to cross paths with John and Mike it was too late. So I am sad that I never met them in person, especially because this is easily one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. The carriage house is beautiful - clean, spacious, quiet, comfortable. We wanted to be able to come and go as we pleased without disturbing our hosts and this definitely fit the bill. If you want a room with a lot of privacy you will find it here. John communicated everything I needed to know ahead of time and we wanted for nothing during our stay. He had the TV listings printed out, bus passes available, and even left us some fresh made cookies one night! The location was perfect, too. This part of East Nashville has fun shops and restaurants, and it was easy to get to downtown and the main highways. You could pay three times as much and stay in one of the big name hotels in town but why? I would come back to the carriage house any day and I recommend it highly to anyone.
