Great Location and Clean

The apartment is within walking distance(2-3 blocks) of everything! The National Civil Rights Museum, Central BBQ, a cute local grocery market, Beale Street, Flying Saucer, The Orpheum, and more! We drove a short 5 minutes to Sun Studios. The place was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a short 3 day visit. Will definitely recommend to anyone I know visiting Memphis. We felt safe and secure! It’s also above SOB which has fantastic food. We loved our stay here.

Great spot!

Great spot on Main st in Memphis. Walking distance to pretty much everything! Also have the option of riding the trolley or scooters. The place was clean, the building had clearly been recently remodeled. Communication from the house was great! For those looking to stay, few things to keep in mind would be there are stairs to get to the specific unit on the third floor. Also be mindful there is one parking spot available for the unit. Overall, I would definitely return and stay!

We have never been to Memphis and to be honest when we first arrived I was a little nervous. After getting our bearings and realizing the location of this property we couldn't have been any happier. Walking distance for anything you'd want to do downtown. Great rental. Very clean, very safe and the management was available whenever we had a question. I would highly recommend and if we xome back we will try and get a reservation here again.
