THIS is your Memphis MUST STAY

We had an amazing time at this VRBO. The location was perfect for our event at Grind City Music Fest, however, it would also be perfect for anyone visiting Memphis. It is very close to the Main Street trolley stop, across from Soul and Spirit Brewery and within walking distance (if you are in decent shape) to The Peabody and Beale Street. This place was immaculate. While compact, what more could you need. The kitchen was fully stocked AND the hosts leave a basket of goodies, a bag of ice and soda in the fridge. The bathroom has every toiletry you can imagine. Forgot something??? Trust me, they have you covered. Upon leaving, they even left a gift on the porch for us. These amazing people even had a travel cup made for us, including the dates AND the event we went to. We will definitely be going back to Memphis and staying here.

The place was spotless and outfitted with everything I could need and then some. The Shaws are great communicators and very accommodating. They are truly worthy of being Superhosts!! Will definitely stay here again.

Clean, Safe, Cozy

We come to Memphis every spring for the Memphis in May celebrations and the Beale Street Music Festival. We've never stayed close to the downtown area, bc I have always been worried about safety. I decided to take the chance this year, and found The Shaws apartment. It was serendipity! Perfect little apartment for a couple with everything you need. Kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need to make meals, bathroom is stocked with extra toiletries and soap and towels. I knew we'd chosen to stay with someone who goes above and beyond when we walked in an had a Welcome basket full of yummy goodies! I've never had owners do that before! It was nice to just sit down and have a snack after driving all day! They give you plenty of information about local attractions and restaurants, and Linda was so quick with communication. Would definitely recommend staying at Linda and Johns property to anyone traveling to Memphis!

Hidden Gem, Super Accommodating, My New Memphis Home!

“Every part of my stay was so accommodating. The street is quiet, security cameras around the premises, and for a moment I forgot this was not my house. It felt like someone took the time to think about all the amenities that are important to me! If you forgot it, they have it. I had make-up removal wipes, shower caps, freshly rolled towels. The room’s cleanliness and fresh linen scent from the sheets and pillows made me feel at home. This property even included an in-house concierge who I had to book accommodations. The Shaws’ outdid themselves with this English country themed space.” — Sitoria. S., Chicago, IL

Why they chose this property

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Located slightly away from the maddening crowd, yet, close enough to enjoy all Downtown Memphis has to offer. Walkable neighborhoods but the added security of live cameras recording at each exterior entrance for your safety and our security.
