Loved the location right in old city and quick walk up to Gay or Market Square. Also, although i paid for parking next door, we parked my daughters car in free city parking only 8 minute walk north under I40. The space itself was great and well furnished. great having 2 BRs also, and both cold, quiet, and blacked out for sleeping in if needed. Very little noise factor especially for location, even late night fri and sat. Red Panda Grocery was SO convenient for breakfast or lunch, Southern Grit was awesome for good food and watching sports low key. Davincis pizza by the slice was great, especially watching the old city late night. All in all, would highly recommend this place to anyone, you will not be disappointed.

We stayed for a week and found the unit clean, spacious, nicely furnished, and well equipped, with comfortable beds, a big kitchen, washer/dryer, and a convenient location within walking distance of restaurants and Market Square. The biggest surprise was the lack of windows. Other than the living room French doors and transoms above them, there are no windows in the bedrooms, bathroom, hallway, or entry. As a woman staying alone for several nights, I also found the lack of a peephole or sidelight unsettling. There is no way to see who's outside before opening the door. Adding a peephole would greatly improve the sense of security. The entrance (alley) can be difficult to find at night, parking is paid, and the upstairs neighbors were noisy starting around 7 a.m. Mark, the owner, handled an unexpected smoke detector malfunction professionally, refunded that night's stay, and was pleasant in general. (Dylan & Suzanne are his representatives.)
