Home of the blues - Beale Street is always a fun place to go for great music and entertainment. It is just 6 mins walk away!
In the living room, you can totally unwind. Lounge around and take things slow, sit and chill out. Binge-watch an entire season of something on Netflix.
Bedroom 1 has a foot bench that gives you a comfortable spot to plop down and an ideal place when you are pulling on jeans or tying shoes in the morning.
Ample parking space for you and the other guests.
The fully equipped kitchen has all the basics to warm up leftovers or takeout food and even cook up a quick hearty meal. Pots, pans, salt, pepper, olive oil, and all that jazz you’ll need for your stay. And a dishwasher for added convenience.
