If you want someplace to stay that feels like you never left home, stay with Katie and Ben. They are incredibly hospitable, incredibly communicative and very proactive. Their communication gave me all of the information I needed leading up to the stay and their living room table even comes with a guide book about the space, the appliances, the television, the internet, the location of things like towels and sheets- it's all there. They have a number of brochures and flyers for things to do and places to see. They have a guestbook for signing and a small stand with a number of books if you desire to simply sit and read. They have a comfortable back patio to enjoy a cup of coffee and sit in the sun. They have a very comfortable queen-sized bed and a couch I had no problem dozing on while watching TV or working on my laptop. Full-sized fridge and freezer, washer and dryer (extremely quiet!). microwave, movable butcher block island, 4-cup coffee maker, full stove, sink and dish rack, snacks, coffee grounds, popcorn- it is fully stocked and at your convenience and more than capable of handling the needs of an extended stay or just a few nights.
Katie and Ben are both very friendly and were keen to make sure all my needs were met every time we crossed paths. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, yet active. Lots of folks walking their dogs, exercising, children playing, cats lazily lounging- it's a perfect removal from a high-speed life without the isolation of being in a remote area. They are close to the airport and close to downtown but you would never guess it.
I've stayed many places in many states and I can honestly say that Katie and Ben's place was the most comfortable and well-designed space I've stayed and I feel it's going to be hard to top (though not in Nashville, since they definitely have a return customer if I'm in the area).
Save yourself the search- stay here. You won't regret it.
