Great, cute home very convenient to UT-Knoxville. Lovely home built in 1899. Very artsy and cozy. We only stayed one night (arrived after 10pm, left before 9am), but it was great for our family. The area felt safe (across from a charter school), and on a walkable street. We didn’t bring our dogs but with its fenced back yard, friendly outdoor cat, and available dog crate- we could have easily done so and will remember this spot in case we return (if the son chooses UT-Knoxville!). The hosts were gracious and communicated well.Being familiar with 120year old houses, we expected steep stairs, eclectic sloping flooring, limited electrical outlets and all of the things that go with caretaking a piece of history. If you are looking for a hotel type VRBO, or have accessibility issues, this isn’t your space. If you are a family that wants to feel like you are staying with lifelong friends at their fun, artsy, pet-friendly house - then this spot will be great. We loved it and our teens each had their own room (clutch when we are on a weeklong car trip together), and even got some cat-therapy with petting the outdoor resident cat, meatloaf. The kitchen was updated and a downstairs bathroom added- so upgrades made the house - more modern experience.Overall: vibe: 10/10, location, 9/10, communication: 10/10, cleanliness: 9/10, and value: 10/10. Would definitely stay again! Just make sure you expect to be staying in someone’s home- not a distant person’s “investment.”
