I never met Rick but his home was beautiful and our little suite was so comfortable and inviting. The area of Nashville that this property is located in is up and coming so there are some rough looking spots along with some new cool businesses as well (we loved the Red Bicycle Cafe) in the vicinity but you can tell that everyone on Rick's street really cares for their homes and their properties and we felt very safe coming and going in the middle of the night. I had to pick up my husband from the airport at 2am and I didn't feel uncomfortable walking in the neighborhood at that time at all. The suite is completely brand new and it was incredibly clean. We loved that it had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker so we could make breakfast and coffee/tea in the morning. It was also really nice that it came equipped with silverware/bowls/ cups etc. Rick was really very thoughtful when he set up this suite. It was also so close to Downtown and really anywhere we wanted to go in Nashville during our stay. We will absolutely stay here again next time we are in Nashville.
