Help! Looking for a place to stay in Nashville

6 years ago

We have a trip planned in March for a long weekend in Nashville. There will be six adults so we want three bedrooms. We are probably going to do typical touristy stuff. I have been looking at air b & bs but I am having a hard time telling if the neighborhoods are safe and in a good location. We will have a car. Can anyone give me advise? I am not opposed to hotels but I would rather not pay $400/night if possible. Ugh, Nashville is a tough town to figure out!

Do you mean 400.00 per night for all six of you or per room? Expecting to pay under 400.00 for six adults simply isn't realistic anywhere. If you check trip advisor there are plenty of mid priced reputable chain hotels for well under 400.00 per night in the area.

I would think with 6 adults you're going to be fairly safe wherever, especially if you have parking on premises, which most seem to have. A 3 bedroom Air B&B will have reviews about safety and neighborhoods. I'd think you could find something nice for much less than $400, for sure.

Lots of choices with good reviews! Good prices, too.

I have no experience laying out kitchens (just in planning stage for my re-do) but I would move the stove/cooktop to the opposite wall. That would give you a stretch of counter near the sink for prep (also wouldn't have to move sink). I also think having the cooking area on the opposite wall (probably middle of counter area) would give you some room to assemble ingredients and de-congest the other wall. HTH

My vanity has no drawers, so I have a tall cabinet with open shelves to one side and a smaller, vanity height cabinet with a door on the other side. I keep everythign in dedicated baskets on the shelves. All OTC meds go in one, Toothbrushes, toothpaste-all oral hygiene items go in another. One to hold lotions, cremes, anything you apply to your body. One holds hair related things that I don't use all the time-straightener, extra boxes of color. A smaller basket holds hair ties, clips etc. I have a large vessel my DD1 made in HS that stores hair brushes, combs, blow dryer, etc. It sits on the counter. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc are in a basket. I keep my make up and personal grooming things in an over the toilet cabinet. I store tubed items, pencils, brushes-anything with a longer handle in pretty highball glasses. Nail utensils are in another. Small, pretty baskets hold make up, manicure items, cotton balls...I have small containers for groups of like items. I hate having to dig to get to what I want, so if I group them by like items, it's easier to find. I keep my medications in a basket that I have near my chair in the family room-I take them with my morning coffee-but if you have some you take at night, keep a pretty basket in the bathroom. In the other bathroom (DH uses that one) I have decorative jars to hold/hide his contact lens stuff, grooming items and in the cabinet I keep plastic containers that hold first aid things, extra hair products, his personal grooming things-deodorant, after shave, etc. I really hate to see things out in the open, so generally the only things on the counters in the bathrooms are the soap dispensers.

I'm so jealous! We've been to Nashville 4 times in the last year or so to purchase/visit our property in the Franklin Leipers Fork area but never in the middle of spring. I've heard that's one of the most beautiful times to visit. I would also recommend the backstage tour of the Ryman. I've been twice and it's really interesting. I would also recommend visiting the Nashville Capitol Bicentennial park to see the bells and granite maps documenting the state history. We also enjoyed several evenings at the Listening Room where singer songwriters perform on stage while you enjoy a nice dinner. You have to try the Nashville hot chicken at Hattie B's (my DS ordered the hot chicken everywhere we went and all were delicious but Hattie B's was the best! There are different heat levels ranging from no heat to Damn Hot and Shut the Cluck Up hot!). The 3 story Acme Feed and Seed is fun too and also has great food and live music, but it was very busy on a Saturday. Downtown Franklin is really charming and there's great shopping at the nearby antique stores and at The Factory down the street. Definitely check out The Iron Gate, City Farmhouse, and The Barn Door. I would recommend lunch or dinner at 55 South, Pucketts in downtown Franklin for great bbq pork or brisket, or Pucketts Boat House for spicy shrimp and amazing cheesy grits. Bunganut Pig also has great burgers and music. If you're in Leipers Fork visiting your friend you could stop by the original Pucketts there for a good old fashioned ice cream cone and take a scenic drive down the Natchez Trace and the beautiful country roads around Beechwood Plantation and Old Hillsboro Road. Our farmhouse on 15 acres is nearby and we just fell in love with the area. The Carnton Plantation tour was amazing to learn about the Battle of Franklin during the Civil War. It was surreal and humbling to visit the children's bedrooms where the surgeries were performed on the Confederate and Union wounded soldiers and to see their bloodstains still remaining on the wood floors. Franklin is just an amazing place with so much history. All of this making me homesick and it's not even my home yet :) Hopefully by this summer!

Oh, Lars, I so agree on the salt pig! I was given one many years ago and it lives in the back of a cabinet. I don't think anything much can live on salt, but I don't like putting my cooking-dirty hand in it. I like cooking with regular salt, and I got a diner style stainless salt bin with perforated top and easy handle for myself when we moved into this house. If I want to "measure" a pinch, I'll sprinkle some in my hand until it's the right amount. If I want a proper measure, I unscrew the top and use a measuring spoon, or by weight I have a little very accurate digital scale for tiny amounts. I don't like using kashering salt, sea salt, or any such thing for cooking, though I will actually use my (washed and well dried) fingers for pinches of finishing salt, like fleur de sel. So the end of the old Bragg's vinegar bottle is still on the table, and it was useful! I got a little too enthusiastic with the habanero sauce at breakfast. It's delicious, but left a lot of burn. Nothing like a good slug of the vinegar in one's water to fix that. :)

If you're hoping to pay under $400 per night per couple, try 21c Museum Hotel. It is gorgeous, and the food in the restaurant is outstanding.

Spani, post this over in Home Decorating Conversations. There are also many people there who like to travel and can chime in with ideas.

I agree about location. I don't do Air and B but my two DD's do. Most often they are happy, but last year oldest didn't like the neighborhood she was in while going to a wedding in San Antonio Texas.

You want to feel comfortable as you will be coming and going in the evenings as well as the day.

I looked at the Airbnb Nashville map. Generally where all the rentals are clumped together on the map is where most people want to be. At least that's what I've found in a medium sized city like Nashville. Just read the reviews and you should be able to discern what's appropriate for your group. If people state that they walk to a lot of attractions, most likely it's a safe neighborhood. I've been doing Airbnb for over 6 years now, and cannot recall any horror stories of being in the wrong neighborhood, or feeling unsafe but I'm sure it does happen. But I read reviews very thoroughly. You can also ask the host questions.

We go to Nashville often for concerts or other fun. Typically we stay overnight or a couple of nights and just stay in a hotel downtown where we can walk and dine where we want. But I understand your desire to perhaps stay out in a more affordable location.

I am not familiar with all of Nashville’s surrounding areas, but I do know that most of the Southwest area is good, from the Vanderbilt area south, including Belle Meade/Green Hills, Brentwood, Franklin. You will have to drive into downtown Nashville, but it will be a short drive. Prices still may be on the high side. Franklin has a charming little downtown area worth checking out, as well as some great places to eat.

There are some other up and coming neighborhoods in the surrounding areas, but those escape me at the moment. Hopefully someone more familiar will chime. Rob is one who will comment I hope.

Message me with specifics if you want! Yes, I have many ideas of the neighborhoods in Nashville. The most affluent areas are Belle Meade and Green Hills. So the nicest places. Somewhat close to downtown and the interstate.
