Guest rating: 4.7 / 5
Overview
This is a private, gated-community apartment in Midtown Memphis, Arkansas-area listing data notwithstanding (property is located in Memphis, Tennessee, within the broader regional index area). It's designed for guests who want a self-contained home base with a queen bedroom, living room, dining nook, and full bathroom with a soaking tub, and it's especially suited to longer stays. The unit has earned a strong 4.66 rating from 453 reviews, reflecting consistent guest satisfaction with cleanliness and comfort.
Rooms & Living Space
The apartment features one bedroom with a queen-size bed and fresh linens, a separate living room with a comfortable sofa and dining nook, and a modern bathroom with a full bathtub and quality towels and toiletries. The dining area doubles as a workspace for remote work or casual meals. Guests get full access to the entire apartment rather than a single room.
Amenities
The unit is fully equipped with a kitchen, microwave, oven/stove, in-unit washer and dryer, ironing board, and cable TV, plus air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. A private balcony and patio provide outdoor space, and the property is smoke-free with free gated parking on-site. Note that a dishwasher is currently unavailable and the property is wheelchair accessible.
Location & Surroundings
Set in the heart of Midtown Memphis, the apartment is a short walk from Overton Park (about 7 minutes) and the bars, restaurants, and live music of Overton Square (about 9 minutes), as well as the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art (about 11 minutes) and the Memphis Zoo (about 20 minutes). Numerous dining options sit within a few minutes' walk, including Molly's La Casita, Huey's Midtown, Bayou, Madison Tavern, BABALU - Overton Square, and FLAME RAMEN. Downtown Memphis and Graceland Mansion are reachable in about 10 and 15 minutes by car respectively, and three MATA bus stops sit within roughly 500 meters of the door.
Best for
This property suits couples, friend groups, and remote workers seeking a quiet, secure, walkable Midtown base, thanks to its gated community, in-unit laundry, fast WiFi, and full kitchen. It's also a strong fit for longer stays given the fully equipped kitchen and laundry, and for nightlife- or culture-focused travelers due to its proximity to Overton Square, Overton Park, and the Brooks Museum of Art.
Travel tips
Driving is the easiest way to reach Downtown Memphis, Beale Street, and Graceland, all within a 10-15 minute drive, and free gated parking is included on-site. For car-free exploring, the MATA Bus Line 2 stop is about a 3-minute walk away and connects to Midtown and Downtown, while Bird or Lime scooters are commonly available for quick trips around Midtown and Overton Park. Since this is an older property where sound carries, plan quieter evenings after 10 PM out of consideration for neighbors.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the sense of privacy and security offered by the gated community, along with the quiet, clean feel of the neighborhood. Repeated positive mentions include the fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry, fast WiFi, and strong shower pressure, as well as quality linens and towels. Several reviewers highlight the walkable access to Overton Park, Overton Square, and nearby destinations like Ballet Memphis, and communication with the host is frequently described as responsive. A minor recurring issue involved a charging or payment structure problem, though one reviewer noted it was resolved quickly.
