An in-unit washer and dryer are also available for your convenience. Hardwood floors, warm tones, and original wood trim throughout the home create an inviting and authentic Memphis atmosphere.

Guests have full access to the private two-bedroom unit, including the living room, kitchen, dining area, bathrooms, and bedrooms reserved exclusively for your group.

Everything was pretty good for the time being but 3 major problems were the heat not working too well, the power went of a few times, and I saw roaches. Other than that the stay was pretty nice!

Host profile image
I’m Adam, and I love creating comfortable spaces where people can relax and feel at home. I travel often myself and always appreciate hosts who make things easy and welcoming, so I try to do the same for my guests. I take pride in maintaining clean, peaceful places, and I’m always just a message away if you need anything during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Midtown Memphis has great character — historic homes, tree-lined streets, and a relaxed local vibe. It’s close to some of the best dining, entertainment, and arts spots in the city, but still quiet enough to feel peaceful and residential. I love that guests can enjoy the calm of a neighborhood stay while still being just minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

This space has a warm, calming feel with soft natural light, cozy seating, and a comforting layout that just feels good to be in. It’s designed to be a relaxing after exploring the city. Guests often mention how peaceful and surprisingly private it feels, even though it’s right in the heart of Midtown.
