The Optimistic: Retro-Chic Stay on Music Row

Meet The Optimist — a retro-chic, vintage-inspired Music Row condo designed by a local artist, blending contemporary comfort with authentic character. With two king bedrooms, a queen-over-queen bunk, and a queen sofa bed & 3 baths, this spacious stay is ideal for families and groups—whether you’re in town for a Vanderbilt or Belmont visit, a couples getaway, a business trip, or a music-filled Nashville weekend. You’ll be perfectly positioned near shops, cafes, music, top dining, and Broadway.

The Optimistic is the perfect condo for those who are looking for a unique design, yet comfortable, well-stocked, and with excellent services. Stay away from tacky interiors or cookie-cutter designs. This condo offers a vibrant yet comfortable home base in the heart of Music Row. An open-concept living and dining area flows into a fully equipped luxury kitchen, creating an easy central hub for cooking, gathering, and relaxing between Nashville adventures. Two bedrooms feature comfortable king beds, the living area includes a queen sofa bed, and a queen-over-queen bunk room provides additional flexible sleeping for larger groups or families of up to 10 guests. Three full bathrooms help everyone get ready without crowding, and balcony access extends your living space outdoors for morning coffee or an evening wind-down.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Music Row and Edgehill place you in the heart of Nashville’s creative energy, surrounded by historic recording studios, charming side streets, and an easy mix of local cafés, cocktail bars, and restaurants, all within walking distance. This area feels distinctly “Nashville” – polished but laid back – with quick access (about a 5-minute ride) to Vanderbilt, Belmont, and nearby neighborhoods like The Gulch, and Midtown.
Guests love staying here for the balance of culture and convenience. Broadway and downtown are just a short drive or rideshare away, while 12 South and Hillsboro Village are close for boutique shopping and dining. It’s an ideal location if you want a refined, comfortable retreat with a front-row seat to the city’s music scene and everyday local life.
Step outside and walk to some of the city’s most-loved spots: enjoy tapas at Barcelona, Mediterranean fare at Sadie’s, or one of Nashville’s best pizzas at Bella Napoli. Grab hot chicken at Hattie B’s Midtown, sip cocktails at the iconic Old Glory speakeasy, or start your morning with coffee at The Well Coffeehouse just around the corner. Yoga lovers will appreciate Shakti Power Yoga across the street.

Guests have access to the building’s shared amenities and common areas. While we promptly notify the HOA or building management of any issues, we do not control the cleanliness, maintenance, repair, or availability of these shared spaces and cannot guarantee specific amenities will be available at all times.

Traveling with little ones? A pack-n-play, hook-on/high chair, and baby gate (in homes with stairs) are available upon request, subject to availability. Please message your host in advance if you would like a baby package prepared for your stay.

Beautiful space and perfect for a family of four and grandparents! We enjoyed walking to the Well for breakfast each morning. The host was very accommodating and quickly responds to questions! The pool was perfect for the slow mornings. We were within walking distance to many fun spots! I would stay here again!

Great location in an out of the way boutique historical hotel. So much better than the chains on this road trip of ours.

Perfect in Every Way!

This condo was absolutely perfect for our family of four! We love the fact that each bedroom had its own private bathroom, and thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities the property offered. We also loved being only a short Uber ride from all that Downtown Nashville had to offer, while finding peace & quiet at night! Our host was also amazing at keeping in touch & answering questions for us before, during, & after our stay! Highly recommend The Optimist at H&O Nashville!
