J 88 · Private gated cottage! Walk to Overton square!
Jefferson Cottages are your home away from home. A small little gated community nestled among the trees steps away from Midtown`s most happening area (Overton Square). You have your own entry, parking, patio, laundry and all the essentials you`ll need to explore the best of Memphis. We`ll send you a digital guidebook with our favorite recommendations :)
Your space has a great layout with the kitchen and bathroom centered in the middle, bedroom and living room at opposite sides of the apartment.
The location and layout of the apartment make it perfect for the solo traveler, those heading in to town for work, or a couple on nice retreat to Memphis! Blazing fast internet, iron and ironing board, basic cooking spices and all the kitchenry to whip up a quick meal.
If you feel like heading out you will be walking distance from some super scrumptious restaurants!
I`ve tried to set it up so you have several different sitting areas; a couple in the living area with either a comfy sofa or a relaxing chair facing the smart TV. A small kitchen table with a couple bar stools is also a good place eat a meal you brought in from one of the many nearby restaurants or a meal you prepared yourself in the equipped kitchen with all the essentials (salt, pepper, olive oil)
This is just one apartment in a building of 12 in the gated community. You will find the laundry and dryer in the kitchen area with the soaps to go along with it.
Once you head in through the front gate you will see plenty of parking straight ahead - you`re welcome to park in any spot.
You will have full access in the apartment; there are no locked doors or cabinets.
You`ll receive a digital code a one day before your arrival for the front door which means that 24 hour check-in is no problem at all! Any questions and we can be reached 24 hours a day by sending us a quick message.
I will send you a text with a link to my guidebook I`m working on before your arrival but you will also have additional information inside the apartment with contacts, transportation and other general info
Walk out the front door and just down the block around the corner brings you to a bustling Overton Square with a bunch of restaurant options, bars, and live music venues at Lafayettes and, of course, a delicious BBQ joint just up the street.
Head downtown the other direction in a short uber ($8) and you`ll find yourself engulfed in Memphis` blues scene on the famous Beale street.
In addition to the many great eateries (which you`ll find in the guidebook i`ll send you) there are several parks nearby and places to relax.
Uber or Lyft are readily available and definitely the best option.
There is a trolley that runs down Madison and will bring you to downtown if you want a little more of a historic experience heading downtown.

This place is precious! Cozy and chic. I felt safe with the keypad entry gate and door locks. I had everything I needed. Bed is comfortable as is the couch for relaxing. The location is ideal to access all the best parts of Memphis. I would stay here again for sure.

Great Location but Needs to better clean the apartments!
It is in a great location and made me feel secure however the apartment needs a better cleaning service or a deep cleaning. There were strains of hair on the couch and on both throws. The floor had not been swept, dust/dirt on base boards. Remote fell between couch and o my God it needed a deep cleaning under there. When sitting on the couch I was itching now I know why. Fridge was cleaned out however was not wiped out. Table had not been cleaned off at all. Season in the cabinet that was over 2 yrs. old. Unable to open dryer door due to no handle. Nice location, nice apartment however needs to be cleaned better than it has been in the past so that things aren't flying around and itching your guest when sitting on the couch.

Pictures can be deceiving
This place is super tiny...having 3 people in there is pushing it. The couch is considered a bed, but not a comfortable one. The clothes dryer didn’t dry. And we were there during a cold snap. Could not maintain a warm temp in the house because of the draftiness. You could literally see outside through the cracks around the door frame. However we did feel safe, people were friendly, and there were no bugs.
