We spent 3 nights at Alan's place in East Nashville and had a great time. It was plenty of space for us (2 adults, 2 young kids), very clean and the kitchen well stocked with staples. Alan provided us with heaps of information about the local area. There are some great places to eat and drink within easy walking distance, including Marche (great brunch), Pied Piper Creamery (great ice-cream) and Boltons Spicy Chicken and Fish (hot chicken - be careful!!!). We were travelling by car and had no trouble parking right in front of the house, and its an easy drive to the downtown area for sightseeing. Some streets in the area seem like they would be a bit dodgy to walk down at night, but we had no problems during the day. We would happily stay here again if we come back to Nashville.
