This place was so clean and perfect for our quick get away. We were close to quite a few great restaurants, shopping and Beale street. We were able to walk almost anywhere we wanted to go. Our host, Tim, was so helpful and always responded quickly! We will definitely stay there again when we go back to Memphis.

We saw a huge cockroach crawling across the floor in the living room. We immediately let the host know that same night. We indicated to him that we did not feel comfortable staying there with a roach. He did not come to remove the cockroach until the following day. We asked for a refund for the first night stay and he refused.

Great experience
We have never been to Memphis and to be honest when we first arrived I was a little nervous. After getting our bearings and realizing the location of this property we couldn't have been any happier. Walking distance for anything you'd want to do downtown. Great rental. Very clean, very safe and the management was available whenever we had a question. I would highly recommend and if we xome back we will try and get a reservation here again.
