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.

South Gay Street Loft
The loft is comfortable, clean and quiet. The location is walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the theater. Parking is easy, about two blocks from the loft. It was a perfect place to stay while visiting our daughter at UT. We will definitely stay again.

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!

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.

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

Perfect Downtown Getaway
This loft was a great place to reset. The space is clean with loads of natural light in the shared space and cozy, cave-like bedrooms with comfy beds for deep sleep. It’s in walking distance to so many restaurants and attractions in downtown Knoxville without any bothersome noise. Parking is a couple of blocks away, but by no means a long walk. Using the app, entry and exit was easy for all of the guests. Would highly recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Disappointing.
Upon our arrival at 9pm, we found the loft had not been cleaned from the previous stay. This was unfortunate (especially during a pandemic), but the response I received was most disappointing. When I finally got someone on the phone the only option offered was to cancel and be refunded. I booked months in advance and members of our group drove up to 6 hours only to get in late at night and be told they may have to turn around. I ended up electing to do the laundry and clean myself during our first night. We did receive a partial refund and the loft was cleaned the following day, but in hindsight the response we received to a major issue was very lacking. There seemed to be little interest in problem-solving on the property management’s end. Good hospitality does not seem to be a priority.
