  Overall we enjoyed our stay in this property. It was conveniently located and the owners provided quite a bit of information about the area (except the music scene). The house appealed to us because it is something different and it generally met our expectations. Some small things could have made our stay even better. The kitchen needs some additional equipment - a couple of medium-sized saucepans and a couple of sharp knives. Otherwise the kitchen could just be cleaned up; old food thrown away, drawers cleaned out, etc. Really just some small things that could have made our stay even better.

  We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Grocery Guest House. The owners were increbibly easy to work with and helpful. If you like the charm and character of an older property with lots of comforts, this is the place for you. It is very spacious, the kitchen is beautiful and the bed is very comfy and cozy. Plenty of space to store your clothing in the armoire and dresser. Plenty of seating at the dining table. I think this space would work well for a couple or a small family. You need to be quite close-knit group as this is a loft and you can hear everything throughout the space, which makes it possible to have a conversation from the bathroom to the living room. The living area is quite small with only a love seat for lounging and watching TV, however with so much to do in Memphis and in the local area of Midtown, you may not want to even turn the TV on. Midtown is bustling with fantastic dining, bars and shopping. We loved Sweetgrass and Bar DKDC! The location is also very convenient to downtown, with less than a $20 cab fare. I highly recommend this rental for your next visit to Memphis. Enjoy!

  This is a very neat converted shop that is great for two people. Decorations inside are really neat, plenty roomy and a great kitchen if you care to cook. Not far away at all from the attractions in Memphis, Beale Steet, Elvis Mansion, etc. Great place, great rate, great location! Jerry and Dianne Laurenzo

  This is a great little house in a great little neighborhood! We were in for the International Blues Competition and loved leaving the chaos of Beale Street to come "home." The photos don't do it justice; it's an adorable little house. There is now a pergola across the front entrance which was helpful during the rain we dealt with. The owners are friendly and available. Because of the open-concept, it's not for everyone, but as close friends we were able to work around it and really enjoyed the cozy feel! Highly recommended!

  I lived in midtown for 10 years and didn't realize (until after I left) how hard it is to find a decent, affordable place to stay in this part of Memphis...until I found this littel gem on VRBO! If you want the true midtown experience and don't want to break your bank stay here! It is centrally located and for the price you cannot beat this place. The property is funky, colorful, and has a lot of that midtown charm. I mean how cool is it to be able to stay in an old corner store?? The owners are easy going and very accomodating and I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who asks...Enjoy!

  We recently stayed 4 nights in this old grocery store turned cozy cottage. The location was perfect for us as we were attending an event at very nearby Rhodes College. Everything we needed was either a walk, or short car drive away. The house is clean, and it is nicely decorated in sort of a Paris apartment style. The temperature was in the 30's when were there, and we were quite warm and comfortable. The kitchen is huge and well equipped with all the dishes and cookware you will need. If there are any negatives, it would be that the old stove, while it looks amazing, should probably be replaced. We cook all of our meals when we travel, and had some difficulty with the double oven. Only one side worked, and the door would not stay closed. There was a countertop oven there, but it also did not work. We definitely did not go hungry though, and this wouldn't keep us from staying there again. The bedroom is large, and the bed is comfortable. Plenty of storage for your clothes, too. There is a deck off the bedroom which leads to a fenced-in backyard. We would have loved to have used it, but it was just too cold. The bathroom shower is nice and hot, and there is plenty of water pressure. So overall, we loved the house and location. The last night we were there though, a Sunday, we seemed to be in some sort of flight path. We heard loud, low planes overhead until well into the night. It was odd, because we did not hear planes on any of the other nights. Overall though, a lovely stay.

  Recently stayed at this great house on a trip to Memphis. Home is a renovated store and has plenty of funky charm. Open concept, lots of light, full kitchen (very cool 1950's kitchen) comfy bed and air mattress, nice deck. Located in a lovely residential area with good restaurants,cool local coffee shop and fruit market in walking distance. Overton Park is also nearby. Not downtown, but a 10 minute drive to Beale Street or just about anywhere in the city. Memphis is pretty spread out with very limited public transport so car is necessary if you want to visit all the attractions it has to offer. The house is a great place to relax and recharge and get ready for another great day in Memphis. Owners are very helpful and respond quickly if needed. I recommend this rental without hesitation...it will make your Memphis stay all the more memorable!

  Stayed at this wonderful house on S Cox Street. Very homey, comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Great kitchen, shaded private backyard, overall nice ambiance. You do hear the trains go by and quite a few airplanes overhead but only when we sat out back and that didn't detract from my experience in the least, just added to it all. (The trains reminded me of Mystery Train by Elvis ) The owner is super nice, laid back and accommodating. I would recommend this rental to anyone, the pictures dont really do it justice as far as how comfy and homey the place is.!

  Our family convened in Memphis for a college graduation and this Cooper/Young location was a great meeting spot for family members staying all over Memphis, from downtown to midtown. Lovely deck, great kitchen, large table seating 6-8. Reliable internet. Loft-like bathroom open to the house was a little strange, especially when people were visiting. However, very comfortable bed, fluffy towels, plenty of flatware and dishes for eating in with family made up for it. We would definitely stay here again, and it's only three blocks from our favorite Memphis BBQ spot: Central BBQ.

  My husband and I stayed at the property over a weekend for a wedding at the Botanic Gardens in Memphis. The property is well appointed and charming! The kitchen is very well-equipped, although we were not able to take advantage of that during our short trip. The property has a large kitchen/dining/living room area that is separated from the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom has a shower and no tub. There is also a W/D if you need it. The backyard is accessible with a nice little back porch area. Martha was very kind and understanding of our late arrival the first night. Memphis is not always the safest town, but we felt right at home in this unique old subdivision. There is a charming coffee shop (try their cinnamon toast) down the road. As an added bonus Martha left us the most delicious muffins and orange juice for our first morning! We would definitely stay at the property again!
