About this property

#8 · Historic but Modern with Relaxing Natural Light

The 10 windows surrounding the exterior of the apartment make you feel like you`re nestled in the giant canopy of trees in the back yard. This is one of the 8 apartments in this historic building, you`ll find plenty of old character but with modern updates and comforts. The bathroom and kitchen are brand new. Plenty of parking in the rear of the property, super fast wifi, and an awesome central location in Midtown near a bunch of great restaurants, bars, and music venues.



This apartment has been fully redone. A brand new fresh bathroom and kitchen with all the essentials to help you get settled right in. A comfy brand new queen sized bed and cozy seating in the living room area. The natural light that comes in is fantastic but when you want a little more darkness just pull the blinds down or curtains over.



The apartment is located upstairs at the rear of the property and overlooks the trees and parking area in the rear. There is a large shared patio towards the front of the building upstairs that you are welcome to use or enjoy your morning coffee on : )



You have full access to the shared laundry room and laundry detergent in the basement as well



While there are several entry doors the best entry is the one from the rear of the property on your left (black metal stair case). The apartment is on the second floor and will be the first apartment up the stairs.

You can also get to the apartment by going through the front right door and up the stairs, then to the rear of the hallway on your left.



You will have full access in the apartment; there are no locked doors or cabinets.



You`ll receive a digital code a three days before your arrival for the front door which means that 24 hour check-in is no problem at all! Any questions and we can be reached 24 hours a day by sending us a quick message.



I will send you a text with a link to my guidebook I`m working on before your arrival but you will also have additional information inside the apartment with contacts, transportation and other general info



Walk out the front door and 100 yards down the street brings you to a bustling corner with a jazz restaurant, Moroccan and Mexican restaurants and, of course, a delicious BBQ joint. Keep walking or take a short Uber another .75 miles to Overton square, one of Memphis` most happening areas with a host of other restaurants and bars.



Head downtown the other direction in a short uber ($6) and you`ll find yourself engulfed in Memphis` blues scene on the famous Beale street.



In addition to the many great eateries (which you`ll find in the guidebook i`ll send you) there are several parks nearby and places to relax.



Getting around: its easiest to Uber or Lyft. Downtown is a quick 5 min and Overton square is less than a mile away!



Memphis also just got the `Bird` electronic scooters. You will see them all over Midtown and Downtown and are can hop on one after downloading the app for a very minimal price - plus it`s a great time!



Aside from Uber, Lyft, and the `Bird` electronic scooters, you will also see bike racks with public bikes (called Explore) spread around Midtown that you can also use for a small fee. You`ll find several bike racks located right off Madison Ave.



From the airport it`s easiest just to Uber or Lyft (around $15) if you don`t have a rental car. If you have a rental car you can easily find the place with Google or GPS



The closest entry door is from the back of the building up the black metal stairs to the left. The apartment is just up the stairs from there on the second floor.



The whole building has a total of 8 apartments and this apartment is on the second floor towards the front of the building.



There is also a shared patio on the second floor that you are welcome to use and relax :)



You also have access to laundry in the finished basement down the stairs in the rear of the building and are welcome to use the laundry detergent. Please just remember to take your clothes with you and not leave them down there!

Great Space in Memphis

Pre-check in communication was fantastic. The place was easy to find and it was a great space.The room was clean and using the washer/dryer was easy.The only issue we found was the people hanging out outside of the room at night (we could hear every word they said, including their phone calls and music).Besides that, it was still a great place to stay, the communication was great, and I would still recommend it to someone.

Just right, well appointed

I loved staying at this little cutie of a place. The bed was comfortable with nice bedding. The decorative art was fun. The floors were CLEAN! They had coffee and tea as well as sugar and creamer. Amazing! I would defn stay again. Also, the neighborhood and parking is NOT sketchy at all. Felt very safe. Great location for Rhodes and Overton Square/Park.

Comfortable Apartment

The property was located close to everything we were in town to do. It was easily accessible. The building was an older midtown house that had been converted into several well appointed and renovated apartments. We would definitely recommend and we plan to stay there again on the summer when we return to Memphis.

Nice, small apartment with plenty of natural light

The property is in a nice area. The apartment itself is on the smaller side, perfect for a couple or even just a solo traveller. The natural lighting is gorgeous. The host is wonderful with communication. There are multiple security factors in place to help keep the guests safe. This is my second time here, and we plan to book again in the future!

Memphis cozy

The apartment itself was small but well appointed. Bed was great! The outside of the house and the property need updating and refurbishing. Location made it easy to get to downtown and restaurants, but the street was a bit suspect and I was glad I was with my husband. Had a coffee problem that was quickly rectified with a couple of texts! The BarBQ shop nearby had outstanding ribs, much better than downtown.

Super cute and comfy!

Super cute. Super comfy. It’s small but it was perfect for my boyfriend and I! I loved the bed and the sound machine! Everything was clean and organized. The balcony was an added bonus! We ended up driving down to Beale Street but the parking was super easy and convenient. We ate at the Flying Saucer Drought Emporium (which is the restaurant Tim suggested). We had the best burger! And the beer selection was awesome. We had a great time experiencing Memphis for the first time. Thank you!

Cute but small

Was surprised by how small this was but we made it work. The “living room” is a loveseat and chair not a couch like it appeared in the photos to me. Also the shower is pretty tight. Be sure to take extension cords to plug in your phone because the outlets are not very convenient. Also the driveway to pull into the parking lot is very narrow. If you drive a big SUV nor truck, you might not make it back there and will need to park on the street. Overall not bad for the price.

Excellent Location

Overall, we enjoyed this property. Its location was ideal, relatively close to downtown (short drive), close to Graceland (short drive) and within easy walking distance of some superb restaurants. The apartment is relatively compact (perfect for two people). I liked the idea of codes for entry access rather than physical keys. A couple of suggestions to make it even better. It could use a few more & better pillows (I believe this may already be addressed), needs more clothes hangers in the closet, could use a small chest of drawers (or even open shelves) in the closet to help store a few things rather than keeping all your clothes in your bags. And lastly a couple of dish cloths/towels would have been handy in the kitchen. We liked it a lot, especially the great variety of places to eat in close proximity. Appreciated the off street parking too.

Tiny, but very comfy

I absolutely adored the little apartment. It was perfect for just the two of us. The windows let it a perfect amount of natural light, and the surrounding neighborhood is a good area. I don't have a single bad thing to say about the unit. The property management was extremely communicative and made check in/check out clear and easy. Will definitely use this property in the future!

Cute little apartment

The location in Midtown is very convenient, and Memphis in general is an easy town to drive in and seems to be laid out pretty logically in a grid fashion. The property itself is located in a area that has a lot of apartment building and similarly aged old homes, that are in decent shape, although the exterior in the back could use a little tlc, the parking lot was convenient and the inside was beautiful. We felt very secure with the keyless code entry and our apartment was very nice. Small but comfortable. This is a small apartment and the photos make things look bigger than they are, but very well maintained, and had everything you need with tons of natural light and comfortable queen bed. We really enjoyed our experience and would both recommend and happily return.

Small but nice

The property was updated and in good condition but very small. If you are looking for a place to sleep while you are on business or out touring Memphis then its good for 1 or 2 people. But if you are looking for a relaxing place to watch TV and hang out, then this place does not offer that. The couch was very uncomfortable, TV was small and the internet buffered a lot. It only had a window unit for the AC and it didn't cool off the bedroom very well. I still give this property 4 stars because it was a nice place just did not work well for what we were looking for.
