Absolutely terrific!

We were in town for a football game and parents weekend on campus, this condo and the Market Square location are the perfect combination. The outside noise is completely isolated, the interior decor and furniture are terrific, and the easy access to dining as well as campus make this the ideal alternative to the usual hotels.

Chilling in Zen

Great place. Super downtown location. Took a sec to figure out the lockbox to get the exterior door opening fob and understanding parking options but after the first time it was all a piece of cake. Neat old building above Market Square. We heard some street noise but seemed very appropriate for the location. None of the noise disrupted our sleep. Highly recommend this unit. We’ll reserve again on next visit to Knoxville.

About the host

Hosted by Tommy

Host profile image

Dubbed by the Knoxville News Sentinel as downtown Knoxville's cheerleaders, Scott and I have been a part of downtown revitalization for over 25 years. We love downtown!

As an international flight attendant for 21 years, I know what makes a great place to stay, and this is it.

Why they chose this property

This lovely flat at 36 Market Square is perfectly located. All the things you want to do (world-class dining, fantastic shopping, great nightspots) are short walks from your door. Even UT sports are only a twenty minute walk. Historic Market Square is THE center of Knoxville and on of THE best locations to stay in downtown.
You won't even need your car during your stay.
Supremely well located next to hundreds of award-winning restaurants, lively bars, art galleries, history museums, and boutique shopping of all kinds, this is the perfect place to stay for those who wish to immerse themselves in downtown Knoxville history and culture. A fair good amount of the places in downtown Knoxville are locally owned and operated, so you can really get a feel for our southern hospitality.
