Great location with a lot of character
We enjoyed if star very much! The location was perfect. There was plenty of space. Even though we ate out for most meals, the kitchen was handy for breakfast! The smaller bedroom had drafty windows but it was on the warmer side while we visited Knoxville so it was not a problem. Overall great stay!

Air conditioning /noise
Loft and location were awesome!! AC did not work causing our stay to be miserable any time we were there. A loud buzzing sound went off every 45 seconds all night our last night. It was awful 😢

Visiting son at college
We had an amazing stay in your beautiful condo! The location is so convenient to great restaurants and shops. There were only 2 minor issues, but prompt communication resolved one and the other resolved itself. We could not find the promised parking pass, but have been told that reimbursement will be forthcoming. The other minor hiccup was a strange buzzing noise that occurred during our 3rd night. It mysteriously disappeared after about 24 hours. We will recommend your property to friends and would love to stay there again ourselves! Thank you!

Stay for University of Tennessee football game
We really enjoyed our one night stay in Knoxville for a Tennessee football game. This loft apartment had plenty of space for our party of 2 couples. While the apartment is old and somewhat dated, it has a certain charm and fits in with the area. It was as advertised and again, was much more spacious than we expected and could be quite comfortable for an extended stay. Very close to the Knoxville downtown market area and shops but is a bit of the walk to the football stadium.

If you like loud music, homeless encampments and drug addicts at your front door, this is for you!
Upon arrival there was no parking pass provided not to mention there is NO parking in front of building or across the street. Parking is available down the street in a lot which is also a homeless encampment and drug addicts haven. The stairway leading from the street to the loft has a horrible moldy smell and the loft is only surface cleaned. It is a much older building and the photos listed are clearly done well so you do not see the age and wear of the space. There are bars and restaurants in the area who play loud music and such until 2 am. If you want to park in an unsecured place where you will be approached by many homeless looking in your windows and begging you for money, you found the right place. I immediately began emailing with the property company once I arrived and ended up not spending one night at this place instead went to the Marriott and felt safe.

Would not stay again
Very loud from outside since being close to bars, ability to hear neighbor running up and down steps and doors slamming, worse of all was the train. Beds were excessive hard and Ive always slept on firm bedding. It is a cute area and location would be great for someone who likes to go to bars, which is not me..

Bright Old City Loft - Beautiful!
We had a wonderful time staying here, it was beautiful, clean and a lot of fun. The music from Barley's around the corner was loud until the early morning hour, but we did not mind as we had young girls celebrating and having fun as well. Parking was a little tricky, but was resolved quickly. There was not a trash bag or parking pass when we arrived, however I brought a trash bag and they within 20 minutes, quickly brought us a parking pass. Communication between the owners was great, very responsive and helpful right away. Very impressed with how everything was handled, very professional. Thank you so much for making this special occasion so special and memorable. We had a great time staying here.

Great place and location, BUT be aware of location
The location was great, but know that if you are staying on a Friday or Saturday night, the surrounding clubs go until 2 a.m. and are VERY loud. We had some trouble with the wifi but management gave us another login and no problems.

In Town for a Campus Visit
We stayed at this property on a Thursday night prior to visiting Knoxville for a campus tour at UT. It was in an excellent location in relation to campus, and also in the middle of a great part of downtown for restaurants, coffee shops, etc... The property was pretty old (historic) and neat. The loft was clean, beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend to other travelers.

Just ok
Place was clean but extremely noisy. Walls were paper thin. You could hear everything. Trains going by and blowing horn through the night and construction all around. Supply of TP was not good. 1 and 1/4 roll for 2 bathrooms. We made it through the trip but just barely. Should have at least been a full roll for each bathroom I tried to contact to see if there was extra somewhere and they did not answer until next morning. Never answered about a leaky pipe I let them know about. Also, the bed in the room with the skylight is horrible! It sinks to the middle and also leans downward at head of bed. Glad we only stayed one night.
