Parking

Street or garage

Free street parking out front — remove all valuables; downtown sees petty car break-ins.

The building garage charges a daily fee — rates & QR code here.

Trash

Down the hall

Make a left out of the unit — the trash room is at the first bend.

Getting Around

Park once, walk everywhere

You're in Rutledge Hill — Broadway, the honky-tonks, Ascend, Bridgestone Arena, and the museums are all an easy walk. Rideshares are quick for anything farther.

Quiet Hours & Building Rules

A private residential building

Quiet hours are 9:00 PM – 8:00 AM — keep it low-key on the balcony and in shared spaces. A noise complaint carries a $500 fine passed to the guest. Smoking or vaping anywhere on the property: $500. Unauthorized pets: $500 plus cleaning costs. No parties or events · max 4 guests.

02The Space

How everything works.

i.

Rooftop Terrace

Skyline views — the best sunset spot in the building. Respect quiet hours up top and clean up after yourself.

ii.

Private Balcony

Roll up the glass door to open the living room to the city. It faces the freeway side — the sound machines handle the road noise. Roll it fully down when running the AC or heading out.

iii.

Building Gym

The fitness room is included with your stay — keep your routine without leaving the building.

iv.

Kitchen

Fully equipped — cookware, dishes, and the basics for everything from morning coffee to a full meal in.

v.

Washer & Dryer

Full-size, in the unit. Use the provided or standard detergent (no over-sudsing pods), and avoid starting a load right before check-out.

vi.

Furniture & Decor

Please don't rearrange furniture (reset fee; small items fine if put back). No confetti, glitter, clear tape, tacks, or nails — blue painter's tape is in the kitchen drawer. This is the owner's personal condo; please don't pack its belongings.

vii.

Plumbing & Electrical

Flush only toilet paper. Bathrooms use GFCI outlets — if a plug or light dies, press the outlet's reset button. Plumbing or AC issues: call us right away.

viii.

Smart TV & WiFi

Stream with your own accounts on the smart TV — just sign out before you leave. Fast WiFi throughout.

03Explore Nashville

Our hand-picked favorites.

Twenty-five spots we'd send our own friends to — most within an easy walk or a short rideshare of the door.

i.6 min drive$$

Hattie B's Hot Chicken

The hot chicken that put Nashville on the map, served crispy with spice levels from Southern (no heat) to Shut the Cluck Up. The Lower Broadway location puts the city's signature dish right in the heart of the action.

5069 Broadway Pl, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipLines build fast at lunch and dinner, so go right at 11am opening, and start at the 'Medium' heat level unless you really want to suffer.
ii.5 min walk$$$

Husk Nashville

James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Brock's temple to hyper-local Southern cooking, set in a historic Rutledge Hill mansion just blocks from the condo. The menu changes daily around what's grown and raised across the South.

37 Rutledge St, Nashville, TN 37210
Pro tipBook a reservation well ahead, and ask for the cornbread and the daily-changing pickle plate to start; it's the closest fine-dining spot to your front door.
iii.10 min walk$$$

The Southern Steak & Oyster

A lively SoBro steakhouse and raw bar pairing fresh-shucked oysters with Southern-leaning steaks and seafood. A reliable, upscale-but-fun pick a short walk from the building, near the Music City Center.

150 3rd Ave S, Ste 110, Nashville, TN 37201
Pro tipHit the daily happy hour at the bar for discounted oysters and cocktails, a great pre-show stop before walking to Broadway.
iv.7 min drive$$

Biscuit Love

Beloved Gulch brunch spot serving Southern-style biscuits, the famous 'Bonuts' (fried biscuit dough with lemon mascarpone and blueberry compote), and hearty breakfast plates. The go-to morning-after-a-late-night fuel-up.

316 11th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipOpen 7am-3pm only and weekend waits can hit an hour, so arrive before 9am or use the app to join the waitlist before you leave; don't skip the Bonuts.
v.6 min drive$$

Peg Leg Porker

Pitmaster Carey Bringle's authentic Memphis-style dry-rub BBQ in The Gulch, with ribs named the best in the US by Eater, plus pulled pork and brisket smoked low and slow. A casual, no-frills Nashville BBQ institution a short ride from downtown.

903 Gleaves St, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipOrder the dry-ribs (their signature) and get there before the meats sell out in the evening; it's cash-friendly and lines move fast.
i.5 min walk$$

Crema Coffee Roasters

Nashville's beloved zero-waste roaster and cafe, slinging meticulously sourced single-origin pour-overs and espresso since 2008. It's the closest serious coffee to your front door and a true local institution.

15 Hermitage Ave, Nashville, TN 37210
Pro tipOrder the Honey Bee Latte (honey, cinnamon, vanilla) and grab a bag of their fresh-roasted beans to take home.
ii.6 min rideshare$$

Frothy Monkey

An all-day Nashville coffeehouse where house-roasted coffee meets a full breakfast-through-dinner menu in a cozy, welcoming space. Great for a relaxed morning latte or a laptop session downtown.

235 Rep. John Lewis Way N, Nashville, TN 37219
Pro tipCome for breakfast on a weekday to beat the brunch crowd, and don't skip the biscuit.
iii.7 min rideshare$$

Barista Parlor (W Nashville / The Gulch)

Nashville's iconic specialty roaster, known for impeccable espresso and industrial-cool design inside the W Hotel in The Gulch. Equal parts coffee pilgrimage and Instagram backdrop.

300 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipPair a cortado with one of their pastries, then wander The Gulch for the famous wings mural a block away.
iv.9 min rideshare$$

Steadfast Coffee

A bright, airy Germantown roastery-cafe with a devoted local following and 'Best of Nashville' drinks. The signature coffee soda is a fun, fizzy reason to make the short trip north.

603 Taylor St, Nashville, TN 37208
Pro tipTry the house-made coffee soda, then stroll Germantown's charming streets and grab a treat from a nearby bakery.
v.10 min rideshare$$

Bongo Java

Nashville's oldest coffee house (since 1993), an organic, fair-trade roaster with a laid-back porch-cafe vibe across from Belmont University. A classic for an unhurried morning and a hearty all-day breakfast.

2007 Belmont Blvd, Nashville, TN 37212
Pro tipSnag a seat on the front porch and order the breakfast bowl alongside a locally roasted drip coffee.
i.16 min walk$

Robert's Western World

The honky-tonk locals send you to first — boots still line the walls, traditional country and rockabilly play all day, and there's never a cover. Order the legendary $6 fried bologna 'Recession Special' and a cold PBR while the band rips.

416 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipCatch the house band Brazilbilly (JesseLee Jones's 30-year-running group) and go early afternoon on a weekday — you'll get the real deal traditional country without the elbow-to-elbow weekend crush.
ii.16 min walk$

Tootsie's Orchid Lounge

The world-famous purple honky-tonk that's anchored Lower Broadway since 1960, with live music on three floors and three stages every single day. Willie, Patsy, and Kris all passed through its back door from the Ryman — it's pure Music City history with no cover charge.

422 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipHead straight up to the rooftop bar for skyline views, then work your way down — each floor has its own band, so you essentially get three shows for the price of a few tips in the bucket.
iii.18 min walk$$$

Ryman Auditorium

The 'Mother Church of Country Music' — a 2,362-seat 1892 hall with the best acoustics in town and the original home of the Grand Ole Opry. Seeing any show here, from country legends to rock and comedy, is a Nashville bucket-list moment.

116 Rep. John Lewis Way N, Nashville, TN 37219
Pro tipBook tickets early at ryman.com — marquee shows sell out fast. No show on your dates? The self-guided daytime tour lets you stand on the famous stage, and the pews are the original wooden church benches.
iv.5 min rideshare$$

Station Inn

A no-frills cinderblock listening room in The Gulch that's been the soul of Nashville bluegrass for 50+ years. World-class pickers play Americana, classic country, and roots music seven nights a week to a hushed, reverent crowd.

402 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipIt's cash-only at the door with no reservations — arrive 45+ minutes early to grab a table. Sunday's free Bluegrass Jam is a local legend and a perfect low-key intro to the room.
v.12 min walk$$$

Ascend Amphitheater

Downtown's premier open-air venue, a 6,800-capacity riverfront amphitheater hosting major touring acts across country, rock, and pop all season. Catch a sunset show on the lawn with the Nashville skyline glowing behind the stage.

310 First Ave S, Nashville, TN 37201
Pro tipLawn seating is first-come, first-served — gates open 90 min to 2 hours pre-show, so arrive early to claim a good patch. Bring a small clear bag (12"x6"x12" max) to breeze through security.
i.14 min walk$$

Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum

The definitive shrine to country music, packed with rare instruments, stage costumes, gold records and Elvis's gold Cadillac across two soaring floors. It's the one museum every first-time visitor to Music City should see.

222 Rep. John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipAdd the RCA Studio B combo ticket and take the included shuttle to Music Row to stand where Elvis, Dolly and Roy Orbison actually recorded.
ii.16 min walk$$

Ryman Auditorium

The "Mother Church of Country Music" and original home of the Grand Ole Opry, this 1892 landmark has hosted everyone from Hank Williams to today's biggest stars. The self-guided daytime tour lets you explore the hall, exhibits and that legendary stage at your own pace.

116 Rep. John Lewis Way N, Nashville, TN 37219
Pro tipBook the Backstage Tour upgrade to stand in the historic dressing rooms, or check the calendar and catch an actual show in the room with the best acoustics in town.
iii.15 min walk$$

Johnny Cash Museum

The world's largest collection of Man-in-Black artifacts, handwritten lyrics and personal memorabilia, told through Cash's own story. Compact, immersive and a must for any music fan, right in the heart of downtown.

119 3rd Ave S, Nashville, TN 37201
Pro tipYour ticket also gets you into the Patsy Cline Museum upstairs in the same building, so you can knock out two legends in one stop.
iv.12 min walk$

John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge

One of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world, this 3,150-foot span over the Cumberland River delivers the city's best free skyline views. Cross it for postcard photos by day and dramatic lighting at night.

Sheraton Dr, Nashville, TN 37213
Pro tipGo about 30 minutes before sunset for golden-hour skyline shots, then walk down to Cumberland Park on the east bank for a relaxed riverfront stroll.
v.8 min rideshare$

Tennessee State Capitol & Bicentennial Mall

A striking 1859 Greek Revival landmark crowning the highest hill downtown, with free self-guided and guided tours of the historic chambers. Pair it with the adjacent Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park for fountains, a 200-foot granite map of Tennessee and skyline views.

600 Dr. M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Nashville, TN 37243
Pro tipWalk the length of Bicentennial Mall to the 95-bell Court of 3 Stars carillon, then hit the Nashville Farmers' Market next door for lunch from a dozen food stalls.
i.5 min drive$$

Turnip Truck Natural Market (The Gulch)

Nashville's beloved locally owned natural-foods grocer, with organic produce, a deli, hot and cold bars, and a juice bar. The closest full grocery to downtown and an easy stock-up for your stay.

321 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipGrab a fresh juice or a deli sandwich from the prepared-foods bar for an easy lunch back at the condo; open 7am-9pm daily.
ii.8 min drive$$

Publix Super Market at Capitol View

A full-size, modern Publix in the Capitol View development for a proper grocery run, including pharmacy, bakery, and a deli with made-to-order subs. Great for stocking the kitchen for a longer stay.

1010 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipThere's a parking garage right at the store, and the Pub Sub from the deli counter is a Nashville rite of passage.
iii.7 min drive$$

Nashville Farmers' Market

A historic open-air market in Germantown with two farm sheds full of local produce, honey, and artisan goods, plus a food hall with 30-plus restaurants and shops. Part grocery run, part meal out.

900 Rosa L Parks Blvd, Nashville, TN 37208
Pro tipParking is free for the first two hours; go on a weekend morning when the most farm vendors are set up in the sheds.
iv.15 min walk$

Walgreens (Downtown / Rep. John Lewis Way)

The go-to downtown pharmacy and convenience stop for prescriptions, toiletries, snacks, sunscreen, and last-minute essentials. Walkable from the honky-tonks and a quick errand from the condo.

226 Rep John Lewis Way N, Nashville, TN 37219
Pro tipClosest full pharmacy to Lower Broadway; call ahead to confirm pharmacy-counter hours, which are shorter than store hours.
v.5 min drive$$

Frugal MacDoogal Wine & Liquor Warehouse

Downtown Nashville's favorite liquor store since 1983, an 18,000-square-foot warehouse with a massive selection of wine, spirits, beer, and mixers at warehouse prices. The spot to stock the bar before a night in.

701 Division St, Nashville, TN 37203
Pro tipIn Tennessee, wine and liquor are sold only at stores like this (not grocery stores), and they're closed on Sundays for spirits, so plan your bar run for Saturday.
