Walk to the best of Midtown! Charming Cottage

Jefferson Cottages are your home away from home. A small little gated community nestled among the trees steps away from Midtown`s most happening area (Overton Square). You have your own entry, parking, patio, laundry and all the essentials you`ll need to explore the best of Memphis. We`ll send you a digital guidebook with our favorite recommendations :)

Your space has a great layout with the kitchen and bathroom centered in the middle, bedroom and living room at opposite sides of the apartment.

The location and layout of the apartment make it perfect for the solo traveler, those heading in to town for work, or a couple on a nice retreat to Memphis! Blazing fast internet, iron and ironing board, basic cooking spices and all the kitchenry to whip up a quick meal.

If you feel like heading out you will be walking distance from some super scrumptious restaurants!

I`ve tried to set it up so you have several different sitting areas; a couple in the living area with either a comfy sofa or a relaxing chair facing the smart TV. A small kitchen table with a couple bar stools is also a good place eat a meal you brought in from one of the many nearby restaurants or a meal you prepared yourself in the equipped kitchen with all the essentials (salt, pepper, olive oil)

This is just one apartment in a building of 12 in the gated community. You will find the laundry and dryer in the kitchen area with the soaps to go along with it.

Once you head in through the front gate you will see plenty of parking straight ahead - you`re welcome to park in any spot.

You will have full access in the apartment.

You`ll receive a digital code a one day 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 just down the block around the corner brings you to a bustling Overton Square with a bunch of restaurant options, bars, and live music venues at Lafayettes and, of course, a delicious BBQ joint just up the street.

Head downtown the other direction in a short uber ($8) 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.

Uber or Lyft are readily available and definitely the best option.

There is a trolley that runs down Madison and will bring you to downtown if you want a little more of a historic experience heading downtown.

**The property is a bit older so sound can travel through the walls easier - please be mindful of your noise level after 10 pm as to not disturb the neighbors, thanks in advance!**
