Great location for local restaurants and museums but only a couple blocks-easy walk to Beale Street.
Apt spacious, quiet and secure. Would stay here again.

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location and found the apartment spacious, quiet, and secure. It’s great that you were able to easily explore the local restaurants, museums, and Beale Street. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This was the best location I could have imagined. The apartment was clean, modern and accessible to everything. The lighting in the hallway was very bright and inviting. Traveling by myself I felt very safe. I am originally from Memphis so coming home made this spot very special. I will be back so keep the lights on for me.

My husband I absolutely enjoyed our stay. The loft was impeccably clean and well decorated. We were conveniently located downtown within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, Beale Street, and the Civil Rights Museum. Tim was a great host! We will definitely book again!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Jasmine! We're delighted to hear that you and your husband had a perfect stay at our loft. We appreciate your kind words, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!
This met our needs perfectly -- we were in town for a weekend to help our daughter. This was a perfect central location that was close to her apartment for when she needed our help, but close to Beale St, restaurants, etc for when we had time to ourselves. The dedicated parking spot was particularly helpful. The unit was clean and comfortable, especially the bed!

Hetal was a great guest. The apartment was left clean and communication was very easy during the stay. I would definitely host again!
I cannot say enough about our stay and experience with the property! The apartment was just as it is pictured and the description was spot on! The property manager was quick to reply to any and all questions we had! I will definitely seek out another one of these properties again when we go back to Memphis!

This property on South Main is the perfect location for exploring Memphis - close to museums, River Walk, Beale Street, Bass Pro Shop, coffee shops and restaurants.
Clean, up-dated, well-appointed, quick response to questions. Great VRBO experience. Thank you for your hospitality.

This unit was amazing. We had no complaints and would absolutely come back the next time we are in Memphis. The communication and check in was easy and the area was great. Short walk to lots of restaurants and activities. 😁

Wonderful guest like to recommend her and welcome him back
The location of this place was ideal, walking distance to all the major sites and museums. Recently renovated and large for a studio. Two things to be aware of - there are no blackout shades and there is a lot of noise. The host provides eye masks, ear plugs, and a sound machine, but if that isn’t something you want to deal with, probably not the place for you. Host was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Quick trip to Memphis for a wedding. My place was on the third floor. No elevator to assist with baggage ☹️. Only suggestion is to add a full length mirror somewhere.

We appreciate the feedback and suggestion, Tami. There is indeed no elevator in this historic building as we have outlined in our property description. Thank you for your understanding!
Comfortable and newly revamped location. The restaurant on the first floor is extremely convenient. This isn’t for everyone as there is no elevator but it was zero problem for me and my wife. The location is walkable or a short Uber everywhere you’d be in Memphis for. Host is very accessible. Unit is exactly as described. I’ll be looking to book it again.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you found the location comfortable and appreciated the convenience of the newly revamped space, including the restaurant on the first floor. Your intention to book with us again is the highest compliment we could receive. We look forward to welcoming you back to Memphis soon!
Listing is accurate. Stairs, light and some noise to be expected. The only thing I would add is that you do hear the trolley honking as it goes by. We were able to get around easily by walking, driving and riding the trolley. Recommend bringing essentials like snacks and drinks with you. We didn't find any stores near by.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us Maggie. It's great to hear that the listing was accurate and you were able to get around easily. We appreciate your feedback regarding the trolley noise and the recommendation to bring snacks and drinks. We hope you had a pleasant stay overall.
This gem is located close to everything: the National Civil Rights Museum (a somber but WOW experience), great restaurants and bars (highly recommend the Slider Inn’s “Cuban & Reuben Egg Rolls” and Jamieson Slushies), easy walk to Beale Street (hearing Blind Mississippi Morris at the Blues City Cafe a highlight) and right on the trolley line.
The apartment was clean and bright and well-kept. Everything I needed (except paper towels/napkins) for my 5-day stay.
The owner was very easy to reach and helpful. As a first-time Memphis visitor, the “hints” sheet he left providing suggestions for local restaurants, tourist spots, grocery stores, etc. was a very nice touch. (BTW … Sun Studio’s 45-minute tour was an unexpectedly great surprise, and highly recommended for music buffs).
I’d definitely stay here again if I get back to Memphis.

Thank you for your glowing review, Bruce! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back if you return to Memphis in the future!
This property was exactly as listed. It is adorable, clean, and conveniently centrally located to anything you need. Property manager responds so quickly there was never any communication issues. As my mother and I traveled we felt very safe staying here. There was a security code to enter the building and the another level of security to get into our room.
