The apartment was perfect for 4 people. In a very "happening" part of the city, close to Beale Street. The street noise was a shocker, especially when there was some drag racing in the street until about 3-4am Friday night!!! Thank you again for the ear plugs, but to be honest not that really effective.....lol. But in the end we had an excellent trip to Memphis! Seen the Shinedown concert at the FedEx Forum...super cool!!

Close to a lot of action, including a really good restaurant next door (Good Fortune). Place was clean and comfortable. It is above a restaurant so there is noise, but it didn’t really bother us. Would definitely stay there again.

It was great to have two nice bedrooms. There were a lot of abandoned storefronts around, but the streets seemed safe to walk. Beale street is an easy walk. I would stay there again if I needed two bedrooms.

Everything was wonderful with the exception of check-in. The key code system was broken, and we had to get assistance from the SOB Manager. Having been in property management, I understand things like this happen; however, advance notice of this prior to check-in would have been helpful.

Weekend in Memphis

This is a very nice apartment in the heart of Memphis' entertainment area of South Main. This place is perfect for those who want to party but not those who want to sleep. The music from the bar across the street was extremely loud. The fact that noise machines, ear plugs and sleep masks are provided is evidence of the noise and bright light. Some blackout curtains would go a long way. The key pad entry quit working during out stay and the management wasn't too concerned about it. Overall, nice place just beware of the noise and light.
