About this property

J 86 · Gated Cottage Community! Ideal Midtown spot

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.

I expected a more modern property. The upkeep of furniture, pictures and appliances could be newer. Walls could be painted to hide holes and spots. Things should not be broken. Overall, I did enjoy my stay in Memphis.

Good Location
This property was in a area close enough to the hospitals and behind a security gate which helped me feel safer. It was perfect for our needs while our son was in the hospital. The property manager was quick to respond to questions and easy to work with to meet our extension needs.

Clean and cozy 😊
First of all, our property manager answered very quickly whenever we had a question, both before getting there and during our stay. We had everything we needed! Very clean! Washer and dryer were a great bonus! The bed was really comfortable! We wished for another chair, there is a couch, but another easy chair would have been really appreciated. Nice table for two to eat, and two good dining room chairs. Nice stay! Would recommend.

Great stay!
This property was a great place to stay for a couple of nights. Check in was super easy (make sure you read your welcome email). I had a little glitch where I didn’t read my instructions fully but staff answered my texts immediately and got me to where I needed to be. The unit itself was clean, had plenty of space, and great amenities. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and plenty of parking if you’re bringing a car. Very quiet area and I felt extra safe behind the gates. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Memphis!

Not as it seems
I booked this place based off reviews, location, and pictures. The place looks nice, entering the apartment a strange odor hits you as you walk in. The bedroom was ok, the bathroom had hair on the toilet, the toilet lid has a some sort of burn mark where it looks like it’s been melted w/something, there was hair on the washing machine. I sprayed Lysol, left for a few hours and the smell was worse! I ended up getting a hotel instead. I wouldn’t recommend!

Mid town stay
Apartment was as described. Place was clean, bed was comfortable. Stocked well. Walls in the apartment were very thin and working as a night shift nurse, noise made it hard to sleep in the daytime. Ran into house keepers in the parking lot one afternoon, they were super friendly and asked how the apt was and if I needed anything. Would stay again.

Too much air freshener
The location was fine and the place was simple and nice for a two day stay. However the scented plug in air freshener was way too much. Not only did everything in my suitcase smell like mint oil but it permeated the toilet paper (a painful experience) and my contact lenses stung as well upon putting them in. Maybe try aromatherapy instead? Somehow those plugins were too much.
