Home of the blues - Beale Street is always a fun place to go for great music and entertainment. It is just 6 mins walk or .3 miles short ride by car.
The apartment has a pleasant flow and plenty of natural light that boost a cheery mood and energy all day. There are blinds in every window that gives you control over how much light you like.
Nice and cozy bedroom with a queen-sized memory foam mattress, fresh and comfy linens, no doubt a perfect formula for a goodnight’s sleep. You`ll be well-rested and on the ball for the next day.
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. Oh, and a dishwasher too!

This was a really nice, quiet clean property! Perfect for being close to Beale St., museums and lots of dining options. All of that is walkable. Check-in was seamless and everything is like the photos. The only criticism is that the fan in the bathroom is very loud and cannot be turned off. Other than that it was great.

Great Place to Stay

We loved the apartment and the location. We felt the walk to Beal Street was a little far so we did drive or Uber which only cost about $8. It was spacious, very clean, the bed / mattress was great as were all the amenities. There is also a parking space included in the unit. Communication was great and we were able to walk to the Civil Rights Museum and the Blues Foundation Museum. Great TV as well so you can use any of your apps. We would defiantly stay there again.

I loved this property and plan to book again next time I'm in the area. I was only in town for about 24 hrs and I was bummed that I wasn't staying longer because the apartment was so cute! I traveled alone but felt safe in the building and location. I had seen some reviews about being able to hear the noise from the restaurant below in the 2nd floor apartments but that was not the case for me. It was very peaceful. Maybe it depends on which apartment you are in. I liked that there was a washer and dryer in the apartment. It was nice having my own parking spot on the property so i didn't have to park on the street. It felt safer. It was very close to Beale Street which was convenient for me. Check in was easy and owner was prompt with responses to my questions. I didn't cook but the kitchen seemed well stocked and there was a nice dining room table. Plenty of room in the bathroom. The bedroom had nice blackout curtains. The negatives for me, which depend on the person: I found the bed to be really firm, more than I would like but I'm used to a very soft mattress and being the short person that I am, I felt like I needed someone to push me up in it. Lol. Also, there is no elevator. Only steps. If you are a typical person these won't be an issue. If you have mobility issues like me, it's a little tougher to get up the stairs. I'm glad I booked a second floor apartment instead of 3rd floor. I would still book this apartment in a heartbeat even with those small issues.
