1 · Elegant Colonial with Lovely Details & Character!
About this apartment rental
Spacious and centrally located. This historical colonial apartment home will have you imagining what it was like living over a hundred years ago. Many of the original details, including the coffered ceilings, wood floor, and fireplace surround are gleaming with character. Tall ceilings bring you into the fully renovated kitchen with modern appliances and conveniences. There are two private points of entry one in the front and one in the rear closer to the private parking in the back. Plenty of space for two couples with two private bedrooms with queen beds. This is a first floor apartment with one and a half bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, a living room, and a common dining area all with elegant traditional details. Plenty of seating spots to get some work done or relax and read a book. Even though the ceilings are really high (10') it is a 115 year old building so it's likely you will hear some footsteps from the apartments above from time to time. I hope you enjoy my place as much as I do :) 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** You will have full access in the apartment; there are no locked doors or cabinets. You'll receive a digital code the day 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 Walk out the front door and 100 yards down the street brings you to a bustling corner with a Moroccan and Mexican restaurant 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. Uber or Lyft are readily available and definitely the best option. There is a trolley that runs down Madison and will bring you to downtown if you want a little more of a historic experience heading downtown. The apartment is part of an 8-unit apartment building although this unit does have it's private entrance in front. There is also a shared laundry area in the basement of the building with two separate dryers and washers - please note the laundry is not in the unit itself *Thank you in advance for your understanding and compliance with the rules.* ➤ Upon booking, you will receive a rental agreement/check-in form that you are required to sign and return before your arrival ➤ If you are a local resident, you must contact us before booking ➤ Guests acknowledge that they will keep their noise level to a minimum after 10:00 pm; sound will travel through the walls if too loud. ➤ No parties or events allowed ➤ No Pets allowed. ➤ Guest must provide us with a valid ID that matches their credit card information ➤ Guest must provide us with a valid working phone number & guests listed on the reservation must report to us within 2 hours from the time of arrival if anything in regards to cleanliness does not meet their standards so we can help address the situation as soon as possible ➤ NO SMOKING or use of fire permitted in the rental; guest acknowledges that no "smoking" includes the use of vape pens and marijuana and "use of fire" includes the lighting of candles, incense, or sage.

The property was not as advertised.
It was dirty and I contacted the host and
voiced my concerns. Namely there was no stopper for the kitchen sink the iron didn't work.A caretaker came and cleaned a mirror and wiped walls with the worst spots. He brought a stopper
that didn't fit and an iron .He said he would be back the next day. I received a message from the host saying the caretaker would by and clean. I left for hours went and bought a stopper so he could work. He never came The host messaged me to apologize and say the issues would be resolved after I
left. I took pictures, sent them to him.
Then I went to the laundry room, I took pictures sent them to the host and told him before I could use it I would have to clean it. Again I got an apology say this was not typical of their properties. I realized that I was not going to get anything done. So I took pictures to document what I saw as fact. Which I can send to you.

Property was graeat and close to everything we wanted to visit. As many reviews indicated, owner may want to hire new cleaning service, upon arrival we had a dirty fork in the sink, mirrors have not been been cleaned in a very long time. Other than that , place is true to it's description, my daughter and i enjoyed our stay there. Will definitely return

Everything was exceptional — clean, spacious (we love old houses) and turn-key. The neighborhood just to the west is not the cleanest — we stumbled on a dead cat on the sidewalk that had been moldering long enough that you’d think a neighbor would had shoveled it up! That said, the location is perfect for those (like us) who wanted to do Elvis, Beale and the Zoo. (The Zoo is amazing and in walking distance; otherwise you are driving places, which is no big deal since Memphis is easy to navigate and generally uncrowded inside the beltway.)

My wife and I hosted our son and his girlfriend here at this amazing property for Thanksgiving. We LOVED it. It was just the right size for the four of us. Two very comfortable sofas in the living area, in front of a big screen tv. When we weren’t cooking or eating, we sprawled on the sofas and read or watched the parade or napped. The management was so warm and helpful and agreeable. We had a small mishap and all they cared about was that we were okay. We want to do it again next year!

Lovely on the inside!
Dear fellow travelers, I picked this place because of its great pictures and historic charm. I truly was excited to stay here but unfortunately our stay here was pretty disappointing. My plane into Memphis arrived late so when I arrived at the house in the wee hours of the morning the first thing I noticed was two full trash cans sitting on the walk way. I hate to say it, but those trash cans were still sitting there when we departed five days later. Not sure why the trash wasn't picked up but most of the trash cans on this street stayed full and on the curb. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy and as a woman I certainly wouldn't be walking home alone late at night (saw several people sleep on the street and on the church steps around the corner during all hours of the day). Also, the apartment complexes along this street look like Section 8 housing. A few other things I would like to point out...the house is NOT as clean as one would expect...hadn't been swept under any of the beds in God only knows how long (I dropped one of my rings so I had to search under the bed - not a pleasant experience), stepped into broken glass in the living room (sent pictures to the management company but they didn't send the cleaning crew to take care of the issue. Yes, they apologized but I expected someone to come and take care of the issue). If you need to work, know that the internet connection is really slow and the upstairs tenants are baby elephants. You won't be able to sleep in! A few other items that could be improved...lighting inside the home is poor (add some additional lights throughout the living area, bedrooms, dining room); the porch light is super bright and left on all night - need curtains that block out the porch light since you can't turn it off! And yes, decent hangers and a bath mat would be appreciated. There is a dresser in one of the bedrooms but no closet, and a closet but no dresser in the other bedroom. Hopefully this review will be helpful to the management company to hire a better cleaning crew as well as make some improvements. Thank you!

When other reviews say that the upstairs tenets are loud they aren’t kidding. They truly walk around all night 0200hrs-0700hrs. It’s a nice place it’s very clean it’s well maintained but we lost a lot of sleep because of other tenets. I understand that it isn’t the property managers fault. If you like what the pictures show then book this place because it’s exactly what you get. Just have a couple drinks before bed

Nice enough place in a neighborhood that seems both a bit worn down and a bit up and coming. Advertised as close to Beale St but not close enough to walk. The property is nice but all of the living room furniture have unmatched blankets over them. Not sure if they are protecting the sofa and chairs or maybe hiding something. They might very well wash those blankets between every stay but we were not sure.

This is a beautiful, quiet, Midtown apartment with a great front porch. I loved sitting out front. I don’t think the floors had been cleaned prior to our arrival. Overall, this was very enjoyable and I would probably stay there again.

Checking in was easy but what we found was unacceptable. It wasn’t clean, hair all over bathroom floor, baseboards looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in years, just overall dirty. They might want to inspect if this place is being professionally cleaned. We used the bathroom & decided to find a hotel. Neighborhood was less than desirable also.

Nice older Memphis home with the best of classic looks, and modern upgrades! Bathrooms have modern fixtures, and tile. The kitchen has stainless appliances, and a gas stove. Adequate utensils, pans, and dinnerware for a stay at home meal, or drive to one of the many nearby great restaurants in the area. Just a very short drive to the many downtown attractions. The living , and dining rooms have original hardwood floors, and a large screen TV in the living room. The kitchen, and bathrooms were very, very clean. Super large front porch, and private off-street parking.
We had a great 4 day stay, and will stay again when in Memphis.
