    This loft is perfect for a stay in Knoxville. Great location, close to may restaurants, bars, etc. Also very walkable to UTK. The loft has everything you need, including parking (included) just a short block away. The unit is very quiet and clean. It has large windows and a great view of the sunrise making it very light and open inside. Beds are comfortable and bathroom good size and clean. Communication was top notch. A very enjoyable stay that I would recommend to others.

    We stay here whenever we can when we go to Knoxville. The loft is very comfortable, and convenient for walking to Market Square and Old Town. It would be a long walk to campus so we drive there or take an Uber. It’s easy to check in and out of the loft and the owners are very responsive and nice.

    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!

    We had a wonderful stay! We were supposed to stay 2 nights however an emergency called us back home after the first night. Although our time was cut short we really really enjoyed it! The loft was exactly as described. We loved having 2 sofas because we met our son and his gf for the weekend. The kitchen was well equipped although we didn’t cook. The entire place was charming and the location was perfect. The walk from the parking lot was not bad. You do have to walk up a pretty steep hill on the way back to the car but we found it easy to load and unload luggage in the back parking lot and the move the car. We felt safe during our stay. Right after we checked in we actually watched the police cruise the parking lot out back and then as we were leaving, there was security roaming the lot where we parked. It was easy walking to everything! We can’t wait to come back and actually stay an entire weekend! Oh and the sofa in the living room that pulls out and makes a huge sofa you can stretch out on is such a nice touch and much more comfortable than a traditional pull out sofa!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!
