About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

#3 · Urban Zen w/ Great Central Location

With your own private entrance, from underneath the giant canopy trees and past the potted plants you`ll enter into an old renovated 1910 apartment building where the warm furnishings and bohemian decor are sure to make you feel at home and relaxed :) Resting in a fantastic central Midtown location you`ll be walking distance to many great restaurants and bars or a short uber (5min) to downtown and the famous Beale St where you can always catch some amazing blues performances. Enjoy!



I tried to bring the outside in; with hanging plants and tranquil furnishings to make you feel like you`re on a retreat. The apartment is recently renovated with a brand new bathroom.



The pebble stone shower floor fills great on your feet and I have soaps and shampoos for you.



You`ll have everything you need here for a great stay; comfy queen sized bed, a full size sofa bed, gas apartment size stove and oven, nice size fridge with freezer, kitchen stocked with the essentials (olive oil, salt & pepper etc.) and a TV dialed in with WIFI so you can kick back with your feet up and catch up on your latest favorite series.



There is free shared laundry right down stairs in the basement where you`ll find two washers and two dryers and laundry detergent for you to use - **please note it is a shared laundry and not in the unit itself**



You will have full access in the apartment; there are no locked doors or cabinets.



You`ll receive a digital code a three days before your arrival for the front door which means that 24 hour check-in is no problem at all! Any questions and we can be reached 24 hours a day by sending us a quick message.



I will send you a text with a link to my guidebook I`m working on before your arrival but you will also have additional information inside the apartment with contacts, transportation and other general info



From the front of the property and 100 yards down the street brings you to a bustling corner with a jazz restaurant, Moroccan and Mexican restaurants and, of course, a delicious BBQ joint. Keep walking or take a short uber another .75 miles to Overton square, one of Memphis` most happening areas with a host of other restaurants and bars.



Head downtown the other direction in a short uber ($6) and you`ll find yourself engulfed in Memphis` blues scene on the famous Beale street.



In addition to the many great eateries (which you`ll find in the guidebook i`ll send you) there are several parks nearby and places to relax.



Getting around: its easiest to Uber or Lyft. Downtown is a quick 5 min and overton square is less than a mile away!



Memphis also just got the `Bird` electronic scooters. You will see them all over Midtown and Downtown and are can hop on one after downloading the app for a very minimal price - plus it`s a great time!



Aside from Uber, Lyft, and the `Bird` electronic scooters, you will also see bike racks with public bikes (called Explore) spread around Midtown that you can also use for a small fee. You`ll find several bike racks located right off Madison Ave.



From the airport it`s easiest just to Uber or Lyft (around $15) if you don`t have a rental car. If you have a rental car you can easily find the place with Google or GPS



The apartment is on the first floor and part of a building with 7 other apartments. There is free shared laundry right down stairs in the basement where you`ll find two washers and two dryers - **please note it is a shared laundry and not in the unit itself**



**PLEASE NOTE** the front porch upstairs is a shared space but you are more than welcome to use it. It is not connected directly to the apartment**



**CAUTION** If you have the heater turned on please be careful of the floor grate where the heat comes out as it can get hot when it`s on. Please be mindful not to step on it barefoot to avoid an injury.

Memphis, TN

Overall, this property isn't bad. It's a very old building but was surprisingly quiet. The space was a little smaller than expected but with it only being two of us it was good. It does however need a good detailed cleaning, dust accumulated on the fan blades, microwave had food splatter and entering the property there were multiple overly stuffed garbages filled with flies. We also could not access the balcony which was misleading from the photos. The location is central to just about everywhere, which was a plus.

Nice stay

We only stayed two evenings and we hardly were even there because of visiting the Memphis attractions. Nice humble abode for a couple of days!

Perfect in every way!!

I came for a quiet, solo, self-love weekend getaway and couldn't have chosen a better stay. From the boho/zen vibe, quiet but accessible location, to fully stocked cabinets (with seasonings). Everything was perfect, great communication, easy check in!!

Near everything

The place is cute and clean! The mattress is a dream! a tv in the bedroom would be cool, the sofa needs more foam but nothing major, the parking is on the back of the build and easy access to the apt, very convenient, thank you!

Really a home away from home!

We stayed at this beautiful apartment for three nights during a three-week roadtrip along the Mississippi - and loved it! What a great place to stay! Looks just like in the pictures and has everything anyone might ever ask for... even a safe parking space behind the building. Quite and safe residential neighborhood with some nice restaurants in walking distance - we recommend the B-B-Q Shop :-) A special THANK YOU to Debbie, who was very helpful and literally answered all my mails within minutes!

A quick visit

The apartment was exactly as described, and was all that I needed for a quick overnight stay for a medical conference. I didn't have time to enjoy the neighborhood but was able to drive around the Overton Square area and there would be quite a few places to check out if you had time. The only downside for me was I had hoped to have some flexibility in check out times, but they werent able to accommodate... despite there being no new guest coming in. Big picture, I get it... but would have been helpful. Was a good visit, though... good area, clean apt, and owner was easy to communicate with.

Charming apartment, good location

This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway for me and my sister. We had so much fun! The location was perfect. Not a far drive to Beale Street, which is where we spent the majority of our time. The apt was cozy and quiet. My only complaint would be with the couch. It was not comfortable at all and there really were no other comfortable sitting areas. The bed was amazing though. It was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and there were even Keurig pods for us to use. The owner took the time to check in with us and even left a list of places to eat and things to do in the area. We loved reading the book that people wrote in about their stay. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.

Small and Satisfying

We wanted a quaint little place in midtown and this apartment fit the bill. Great location near the Zoo, Rhodes College and away from the hubbub of downtown. If you have a large vehicle, just know it's a bit of a tight drive to the rear of the property to park but street parking is available. It was just what we needed for our weekday getaway oh, and the bathroom with heater was awesome.

Great place

The place was warm and cozy, and provided two of the best night's sleep you can imagine. The mattress was simply amazing. It's also in a great part of town that feels in the middle of everything, yet secluded enough for needed rest. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Memphis.

Wonderful, quaint spot in Midtown Memphis!

We had a wonderful stay and loved the character of this home. Fun decor, comfortable bed, convenient location, and great communication! My husband and I came for a weekend stay to run the St. Jude half marathon and this spot worked out perfectly.
