Close to a lot of action, including a really good restaurant next door (Good Fortune). Place was clean and comfortable. It is above a restaurant so there is noise, but it didn’t really bother us. Would definitely stay there again.

The apartment was perfect for 4 people. In a very "happening" part of the city, close to Beale Street. The street noise was a shocker, especially when there was some drag racing in the street until about 3-4am Friday night!!! Thank you again for the ear plugs, but to be honest not that really effective.....lol. But in the end we had an excellent trip to Memphis! Seen the Shinedown concert at the FedEx Forum...super cool!!

It was great to have two nice bedrooms. There were a lot of abandoned storefronts around, but the streets seemed safe to walk. Beale street is an easy walk. I would stay there again if I needed two bedrooms.
