Debbie and Ken were excellent hosts! We had to reschedule our trip due to weather, and they were more than accommodating. The unit was perfect for my daughter and myself. It was very comfortable and decorated so cute. It was also very clean. We have stayed at several VRBOs in Knoxville, and this was one of the best. Would definitely stay here and rent from Debbie and Ken again!

Great little spot

This place is really convenient to a lot of downtown locations and things to do. There is a lovely restaurant and brewery across the street we enjoyed walking to for food and drinks. It wasn't noisy or crowded. The space was well laid out and thoughtfully decorated

My 11 year-old son and I made a weekend trip to Knoxville for a Tennessee game (Go Vols!), and this flat was perfect for our stay. It was spotless, and it’s in a convenient location relative to Neyland Stadium. And I greatly appreciated how informative and helpful the flat’s owners were in terms of communicating with me about the check-in process. In sum, this place was perfect, and I would definitely stay here again.

This was one of the best VRBO experiences. The property was absolutely beautiful. Loved the location and being able to walk to into town.

This is the best short-term rental I've ever stayed at. It's as if the owners said "only if it's good enough for us is it good enough for our guests" It has a contemporary design, lots of light and every detail was high-end (linens, bath products, dishes). We loved its proximity to restaurants, bars and the river. We received a warm, personal welcome and had every question/request quickly responded to. This apartment was a big part of making our visit to Knoxville so delightful!

Lovely Apartment in Knoxville

We really enjoyed our two night stay in this lovely apartment in a fun neighborhood in Knoxville. The apartment was super clean, with wonderful bedding, comfortable bed, and big fluffy towels! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. The furnishings were nice including smart TVs in the LR and BR. The Hosts were available, communication was great!

Perfect Location

This was our first time visiting Knoxville and this place was perfect for our weekend trip. The property is located close to downtime but still in a spot that is quiet and no traffic. The flat was spotless, the bed is cozy and the WiFi comm ration was great. We love how there are restaurants close by that you can walk to and downtown is less than 2 miles away. PERFECT rental and the hosts are great, friendly and super responsive. 5 stars!!

My best friend and I loved the place! The flat is decorated nicely and was very clean. We were minutes from the Tennessee Theatre where we attend a concert and Market St. where there are shops and places to dine. There is an alley where we could see local wall art as well. Communication was great. Anytime I had a question I received a prompt reply back. This will definitely be our go to place when traveling to Knoxville or surrounding areas.

Cool loft, good location

The loft was very clean and decorated well. The bed was comfortable. Location was great as many restaurants were walkable. The keyless entry was a little difficult to use. We had to ask the owner to help us use it but he was prompt to respond and help out.
