Perfect place to stay for our first visit to Knoxville!

The loft is amaxing! The industrial decor is a perfect vibe for the building...high ceilings, stained cement floors, comfy furniture & cozy blankets made the hot afternoon in better than home. Free parking on Jackson Street around the corner and down the hill after 6 and all weekend. There are at least 20 food establishments, market square, the Sunsphere and mural project are all a short walk. (We always felt safe.)11/10 I'd stay again!

Perfect downtown location!

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!

Look no further

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

Stylish and Comfortable

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!

Exactly what we were looking for

The property was great! CheckIn instructions could have been more detailed, the toilet handle was broken when we arrived, when we notified management, they stated that it would be fixed, but it was not. Overall, it was a good experience and we’d stay here again.

Great location, well equipped and clean

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.

Awesome location. Awesome rental.

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.

Business and pleasure

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!

1 night stay

The loft was nice. The parking was not so great. It's up the street from the loft and we got the last spot..then we had to run up to the loft and back to the car to hang the tag and same upon checkout. The 10 am check out is TOO early. Location is good and the place is HUGE. You could easily bring a queen air mattress to use in the living room

Nice property but……

First of all the loft is lovely and close to historic Knoxville within walking distance, which is why we chose it. Now let me cut to the chase. My husband and I have been staying in VRBO‘s for years and this is by far the worst experiences we’ve ever had .On the second day of our stay coming back in the late afternoon we put our code in and the door could only open an inch. We called the property management representative and after several tries and different codes we still couldn’t get it. They asked us to take a picture of the door for them in order to give them a visual idea of the problem .After sending, we could no longer get hold of the person helping us or not helping us rather. They finally got hold of us again and long story short could not help us until the morningand we ended up having to get a hotel room . Now mind you, we had none of our things.Nightmare! Consulting with the team kept being referred to, but not one member of that team could come and help us. Eventually ,at 11am the next morning, they got us back in. Now you would think they’d want to compensate us for the night we couldn’t get back in, but we actually had to ask them and the team had to discuss it. They did compensate us, but they should’ve offered first.
