The Optimistic: Retro-Chic Stay on Music Row
Please note: The pool is currently closed and is scheduled to reopen by May 2026.
For many of us, a fabulous home to escape to fills us with excitement and possibilities. Designed by a local artist, The Optimist combines contemporary amenities with vintage flair to create that perfect getaway. If you hate the feeling of sterile hotel rooms and copycat inns, then this luxury condo is the perfect spot for your family vacation, couples retreat, business trip, recording sessions for your band, or whatever else brings you to the music capital of the world!
Vibrant colors, bold decor, cozy couches, and a private balcony will invite you into a uniquely stylish and memorable experience. With 5 beds that can sleep up to 10 guests, the Optimist will be your perfect resting spot in between your music city adventures, while offering plentiful amenities if you need a day to stay in, too. Situated on the third floor of the Crescendo condominiums, the Optimist is surrounded by lovely foliage and the quiet hum of the Edgehill neighborhood, offering a brief walk to Nashville’s historic Music Row.
This upbeat property features 3 bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed, 3 full bathrooms, and a fully-equipped kitchen, stocked with everything you could need, from pots and pans to wine glasses, a tea kettle, and a coffee maker, replete with a range of coffees, teas, and spices. You can also enjoy exclusive Crescendo amenities, including a stunning rooftop lounge with panoramic city skyline views, a state-of-the-art gym and a conference room.
ACCOMMODATION: ★ Bedroom #1: Queen-size custom built-in bunk beds and ensuite bathroom ★ Bedroom #2: Luxury king-size bed and ensuite bathroom ★ Bedroom #3: Luxury king-size bed and ensuite bathroom ★ Living Room: Queen-size sofa bed and TV with a Hulu account
We provide two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, plus what`s already on the holder. Please note that we do not offer restocking during your stay, so you may need to purchase additional supplies if needed.
For families traveling with small children, special provisions can be made available upon request (i.e., crib, play mat, high chair). Additional amenities will be at the cost of the guests.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Edgehill is a safe and quiet neighborhood, walkable to many bars, music studios, cafes, shops, yoga studios, and music venues, and it only requires a short drive to Broadway and downtown Nashville. This location is perfect for parents with children at Belmont or Vanderbilt, groups coming to Nashville for the first time, musicians coming to record an album, and business travelers. Music Row is the vibrant heart and soul of Music City, where you might find the CMA headquarters, catch a glimpse of celebrities enjoying a coffee, or see Belmont students mingling at their favorite spots.
Walk to delicious restaurants such as Sadie`s (Mediterranean, great for lunch & brunch), Bella Napoli (one of the best pizzas in Nashville), Barcelona (tapas bar, dinner only plus brunch on weekends), or the famous Hattie B`s Hot Chicken - Midtown. Sip a cocktail at Old Glory (speakeasy bar) or atop the roof of the Virgins Hotel. Shop at one of Edgehill’s many clothing stores. If you`d like a morning coffee (other than the one provided in the condo), walk 2 min around the corner to The Well Coffeehouse Koinonia or 6 minutes to Osa Cafe. And if you like to start the day with a yoga practice, check out Shakti Power Yoga across the street.

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!

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!

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