The location of the Red House was perfect for what we were looking for. It was about a 12-15 minute drive to downtown Nashville. However, be sure you're prepared to pay for parking when visiting downtown Nashville, unless you want to walk a great distance. The Red House driveway is on a VERY steep hill. You'll need to be prepared to use your parking break. ;) The room upstairs only has a window A/C unit, so it does get pretty warm during the day, and the upstairs loft gets warm, also. However, they do provide box fans for use upstairs that help cool it down. The main TV in the house is also in the loft, so plan accordingly if you have small children that you don't want to risk falling down the stairs or fitting through the railings.
