Stayed in this cute condo for 3 nights. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We found parking to be pretty easy. On a busy Friday night, we had to spend only 5 minutes searching for parking, and we found a spot right in front of the building. When we needed to call with a question regarding gym access, we got an immediate response.
Great location!!! Walking distance to Market Street and Gay street. The apartment was very large and comfy. Communication with the unit manager was great!
A stylish and comfortable modern loft in the heart of Downtown Knoxville, offering easy access to everything the city has to offer. The electric blinds and massive TV were standout features, and we were especially impressed by how quiet and soundproof the building and unit are. We would absolutely stay here again!
Came to town to spend some time with a friend and see family for a few days! This loft was exactly what I was hoping for. It was in a great location right off of Gay Street but is on the back side of the building so was very quiet. The unit has big windows with lots of natural light and a great view of the sunrise if you’re up early enough! I had what I needed to make meals in the kitchen, but also enjoyed being able to walk out the door to amazing restaurants. A great stay!
The loft is comfortable, clean and quiet. The location is walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the theater. Parking is easy, about two blocks from the loft. It was a perfect place to stay while visiting our daughter at UT. We will definitely stay again.
This was one of our stops on a water park and amusement part tour. The place is great!
My teens were very happy with it and the location.
Communication is as great and very promptly!
100%
This place is in the perfect location. We were not familiar with Tennessee prior to this trip. The building could be spotted from far away for us to easily get back to it when we were out. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely return. The unit itself was so cool. Very clean and we loved the industrial feel. Pictures do not do it justice. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and helped us through
We loved this loft! It was in a perfect location for everything you need. Parking was easy. Check in and check out were easy. The loft was very cute and clean. We have a family of seven and it was exactly what we needed. Plenty of space. We would definitely stay here again!
Overall a great place to stay, well situated and an easy walk to Market Square and Old Town. Great shops and restaurants within just a few yards of the entrance. Clean and quiet building, well equipped.
The only negative is the parking and it is well disclosed in the listing. There was no parking pass at all for the building lot and we parked in a nearby garage which was free on weekends.
My college-aged son and I came up to Knoxville from Chattanooga to see my other son who is currently a student at UTK. I was also attending a symposium at the Knoxville Convention Center. We were within walking distance of the convention center and close walking distance from the main street with many restaurants. We were able to each have our own rooms and were very comfortable. We loved the vibe of the loft. Easy access. Easy check-in. Would stay again, for sure!
The rental was awesome for us. Very spacious and it has a gorgeous modern, industrial look. The location is superb. Right in the Arts district, at the start of the Old City but also close to all of the New City attractions. Just about everything is walkable. There are also two stops for the free City Trolley right down at the end of the street from the building. A+ rental. Had an issue with the code on the front door upon arrival and I called and immediately got assistance and they got me in the rental in no time. Great customer service. A+ experience.
The place was nice and clean. I would have enjoyed having instructions in the unit instead of always going to my phone ALL the time. Parking is another issue!! Parking in back would have been so helpful!!!!! Thanks for sharing your place!
