Shawn Apr 30, 2025 09:55:44 AM
Summary: Excellent space! Neighborhood is a little noisy on weekends
Alicia K. Jan 29, 2025 04:30:51 AM
Summary: Our stay was great but the place was pretty dirty and the heat didn’t work and was very cold, we slept in our sweaters and jackets for the first 2 nights then they got the hvac guys in our unit to find out there was a gas leak so they moved us to another unit close by. We got locked out of our other unit with all of our belongings but they did respond quickly through all of it so that was nice.
Kathy K. Apr 24, 2024 11:00:52 AM
Summary: We had a great time
Angela W. Apr 10, 2024 11:23:41 PM
Summary: The condo was quite spacious for my husband and me. Very cool renovated space. We did not have any issues with the parking light lots or noise but appreciated the sleep mask and ear plugs--thoughtful touch. The location was perfect for our plans. The National Civil Rights Museum, Central BBQ & Gus's Fried Chicken, Beale Street, and some great coffee shops are all a short walk away. Reserved parking in a well lit lot was much appreciated. Building felt very secure. We would definitely stay again!
Molly Sep 28, 2023 09:03:11 PM
Summary: Our room was beautifully decorated with a great floor plan. We had everything we needed. The restaurant on the first floor was fantastic along with several surrounding restaurants. Parking was not an issue with dedicated parking spots for each room. We look forward to going back soon.
Alicia D. Sep 25, 2023 11:00:11 AM
Summary: No access to the building upon arrival after the lights were back on from a power outage causing us to be late for our son’s performance, no AC in our loft for a day and a half, having to move to another unit and then having to rushing to out of the unit they placed us in to go back to our previous unit because the unit we were moved to needed to be clean due to another party arriving, no fan working in the bedroom, and then no hot water once coming back from a very long day, we enjoyed and appreciated the communication from management, the decor, and location of the property. The bathroom had not been cleaned in our unit, it was hair on the floor, in the shower and big wads of hair in the trash can, I have locs and my fiancé is bald, so that wasn’t from us. I would advise that they have some one check the property weekly to make sure all is well with their units and everything is functioning properly, and do a pop in on house keeping during working hours. Again I truly appreciate the communication from the management company and the location of the property.
Tammy Jo W. Aug 8, 2023 11:01:06 AM
Summary: In easy walking distance to many interests and restaurants. Communications about rental were thorough and very prompt. Had a great stay.
Shirley L. May 28, 2023 04:48:30 AM
Summary: In a fantastic location. Will stay again.
Kristine E. May 25, 2023 11:00:32 AM
Summary: The location was outstanding, we were walking distance from everything we wanted to do during our stay. The property was immaculate, we had everything we needed and we didn’t find the noise from the restaurant below to be an issue but if anyone has an issue, a white noise machine is provided!
Alice W. May 10, 2023 11:00:16 AM
Summary: This place was perfect, and really felt like having a home which was great and made me feel like I was a true local. It’s super spacious and would fit two people wonderfully. Having in unit was such a benefit and the tv had all the apps you’d want. Tim is a company so you get the efficiency and peace of mind of a company vs the risk of an individual not used to being a business owner. Location is right downtown and close to everything. Seriously everything. They warn you about noise but tbh the street noise wasn’t bad. It’s not going to be silent the walls are thin so you’ll hear if there’s a party but not like the others are in your room loud.
