Overview
House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-3)
This unique small house house, built in 1890, is a converted storefront. The kitchen is a 50's vintage Geneva kitchen. It is well equipped for stays of several days to a month: coffee maker, microwave, 50's GE electric stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, TV, internet. The open kitchen looks out on the living and dining areas. The skylight in the living area allows for a lot of natural light. There is a washer and dryer combo for those who would like to stay more than a few days. The back deck allows you to enjoy the outside in complete privacy.
The house is located on a residential street, one block east of Cooper. Cooper Street, between Madison and Young, has some of the best restaurants in Memphis from fine dining/award winning Restaurant Iris to the southern cooking meat and three Barksdale Restaurant--plus many others in nearby Overton Square to the north and Cooper-Young to the south.
Several of the top music venues are located in Midtown Memphis: Layfayette’s Music Hall, Minglewood, Levitt Shell, Hi-Tone Café, and Otherlands (on weekends). Museums: Children's Museum, Pink Palace, Brooks Art Museum. The Memphis Zoo is close. We are close to the antique district, Urban Outfitters and not too far from the Broad Avenue Arts District. Graceland is about 8 miles (20 minutes) away. Beale Street and Downtown are 4½ miles away, but easy to get to.

About The Owner

Why The Owner chose East Midtown
We have been renting the house on a long term basis. However, when it last came available, we decided to do something different. We have done some private meals here and decided it would be perfect for people who wanted a unique place similar to home to stay for a weekend or a month.

Fun, convenient location.
This is my second stay here. Great nrighborhoooh. Friendly, helpful owners
Grocery Store vacay
We Had to cut our trip short due to a death in the family. we were only there 2 nights. Martha was really helpful in getting us settled in and gave us good information of the area. We will definitely come back in the future. We loved the old grocery store front and the antiques. We felt right at Home.
Adored it
It's quirky and beautiful. It's comfortable and has everything you need. Of course it's no 5 star, but it's perfect. The neighbourhood is lovely and safe and close to everything. We met some people in the street and went out for dinner with them. The owners were wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this property.
Loved it in Memphis
Great little place with lots of charm
The owners are great
Able to walk to some great BBQ and coffee
Will stay here again
Just OK...
The location was good. We also enjoyed the history of the location and some of the appointments in the home. That said, it could be be so much better and I only recommend it if it's a short stay.
The floors - both the sagging and the gaps - is pretty annoying and not something you would want to deal with if you are in any way unsteady (older, kids, etc.). The bathroom was the worst...a toilet that rocks when you sit or get up, a sink that is almost too high to brush your teeth in, and a shower that requires a lot of work to get through.
The back yard was pretty unkempt and the seating was very uncomfortable. In fact the furniture inside was hard to really get comfy in as well.
And most important to me was the fact that there really is no way to open a window and get fresh air.
Loved the owner and the ease of the process as well as all the information on things to do that they had available.
Funky & Fine
We loved this place! Stayed for 2 nights and wish it could've been longer. Great location, amazing kitchen, character galore in nice neighborhood close to some Memphis hot spots. Martha was lovely, and after checking us in, made herself available for whatever we needed, but didn't get in our hair. Also quite glad to have been invited to use the W/D, cuz after a week on the road, we needed it! Thanks to Martha & Glenn,and we definitely recommend this place.
