We have stayed in The Cottage numerous times. Perfect for a weekend in downtown Memphis. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and convenient. It is about a 15 minute walk to the major downtown attractions including being across the street from the Civil Rights Museum. Even though we have never needed them the hosts are always available.
