Blackberry Velvet

Bold, moody interiors and a skyline-facing balcony make this Nashville apartment one for a group trip with a point of view. Dine alfresco with the city spread out before you, then retreat to a living room that leans hard into colour and texture. Down in the shared courtyard, there's a pool, a fire pit, and a barbecue area with ping pong on hand. Broadway, live music venues, and The Gulch's restaurants are all within walking distance – so the evenings tend to take care of themselves.

Home truths:
* Freight trains run directly behind the building and can be heard during your stay. Triple-glazed windows, sound machines, and earplugs are provided to help.
* The apartment sits on the same block as a rescue mission, so the surrounding streets are lively and mixed-use rather than quiet. The building itself is secure, but expect typical city foot traffic outside.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot and baby gate on request, subject to availability.
* Complimentary luggage storage is available with the concierge between 9:30am and 5:30pm, seven days a week.
* Though there's free parking here, it's only suitable for compact vehicles.
* You'll have access to the on-site gym, swimming pool, and more. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
