You will pass the washer (detergent is provided) and dryer in the hall leading to the apartment. There is an iron and ironing board in the same place. At the top of the stairs you will find the living room and kitchen area. The living area has a comfortable sofa and chair, TV with all local channels (*note there is no cable TV), and an assortment of board games. The couch is also a queen sized sleeper if you have additional guests or just want to stretch out in front of the TV. *NEW - Google Fiber installed 5/4/18 with 100 megabit speed. The full kitchen is stocked for basic meal preparation including a coffee pot, toaster, full stove, microwave, dishwasher (detergent is provided), and refrigerator. The bedroom is a separate room and furnished with a plush queen size bed, reading lights over the bed, and a closet. There are additional towels and sheets in the bed frame drawers. The full bathroom is stocked with hotel-sized shampoo, conditioner, and soap plus plenty of towels. There is a walk in shower but no tub. There are separate heat/cooling units in the living space and the bedroom so that you can adjust the temperature to fit your needs. Both the living space and bedrooms also have ceiling fans. The property is set up with a coded entry. This eliminates the hassle of keys during check-in and check-out. The code will be provided to guests a few days prior to their arrival. I live on premises and will be available if you need help with anything. The apartment is located on the alley above our garage and is separate from the main house, ensuring complete privacy. The 5 Points and Walden areas are within walking distance, and the heart of Music City is only minutes away. Two Metro Transit Authority bus routes are within blocks of the apartment. Both routes are 15 minute rides to the central transit station to connect to routes all over the city. Taxi services plus Uber and Lyft are available in Nashville. Uber and Lyft do service the Nashville airport for both pick up and drop off and are the cheapest way to get to/from the airport. On the day of check-out please load all dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Place towels/wash cloths in shower. Sheets can be left on the bed. Check that all the windows are closed/locked and the thermostat is set to 65 in the winter and 80 in the summer. Finally, make sure the backdoor is locked behind you.

Your guide to Downtown, Nashville

Welcome to Downtown Nashville

For decades, Downtown Nashville has revolved around the lively Honky Tonks, the name bestowed upon the bars and live music venues that pump tunes out into the streets nearly 24/7. Known locally as Lower Broad, or sometimes Honky Tonk Row, the section of Broadway that stretches between 5th Avenue North and the riverfront is the beating heart of the city’s entertainment scene. But even if burning the midnight oil isn’t your thing, Downtown Nashville has plenty more to offer, such as historic Printers Alley — once home to the city’s thriving newspaper and publishing industry — or the galleries of Fifth Avenue of the Arts, which is where many of the famed sit-ins took place during the Civil Rights Movement. The Witness Walls nearby also pay tribute to that period in Nashville’s history. In addition to housing the state Capitol, Downtown Nashville is home to long-time establishments like the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the city’s main baseball stadium, which also hosts many special events.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Downtown, Nashville

Crowds in Downtown Nashville are at their peak in the summer months, particularly every June, when for four days the CMA Music Fest takes over with stages and free concerts throughout downtown. April is beautiful in the city, when the weather is balmy and spring flowers are in bloom. Spring also brings with it a few major events like the annual St. Jude Rock ’n’ Roll Nashville marathon and half-marathon. If you want to slide in between the busy season and the heat of summer, plan your trip for October, when the hottest weather has subsided. Fall is equally desirable and has a few fun events of its own, including the wildly popular Nashville Oktoberfest in Germantown.


Top things to do in Downtown, Nashville

Country Music Hall of Fame

Even the lukewarm country music fan will be impressed by this expansive museum that anchors the downtown scene. The Country Music Hall of Fame pays homage to some of the greats of the early years of country music while rotating in exhibits, costumes, and tour memorabilia from new, up-and-coming artists. Be sure to check out the storied letterpress operation, Hatch Show Print, that’s been around since 1879 and produces its iconic show posters out of the ground level of the Hall of Fame building.

The National Museum of African American Music

This new 56,000-square-foot museum in Downtown Nashville highlights the many genres that were created, inspired, or brought to popular consciousness by African American musicians. In addition to a theater offering immersive experiences, NMAAM’s permanent exhibitions include such galleries as Wade in the Water, chronicling Black religious and spiritual music from the golden age of gospel to R&B and soul.

John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge

This iconic 1909 truss bridge links Downtown to East Nashville, allowing you to cross the Cumberland River on foot for that perfect photo opp. On the other side of the bridge is Cumberland Park, with its well-maintained playground and water features running in warmer months.
