Blues City Abode - music themed, free coffee, super fast internet, Cooper-Young!

Blues City Abode will have you humming a tune. Memphis music themed, large 2BR 1BA with bonus room, that is a downstairs portion of a midtown home (duplex) with ~8 minute walk to historic Cooper-Young’s restaurants.

We provide:
√ Gigabit Speed Internet ATT U-verse Wifi
√ Coffee, decaf, and tea
√ Off-street Parking
√ Full Kitchen
√ Self Check-in
√ Extremely comfortable beds and pillows
√ Quality toiletries and soaps
√ Smart Roku TVs with access to your Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services.

Looking for a perfect stay for your business travel needs? Look no further. We have you covered with all the amenities of home, and a setup for work with 50 Mbps Wi-Fi internet and dedicated desk.

Also great for vacation travel, Blues City Abode offers comfy beds, fast Wi-Fi, and Roku TVs for all of your streaming services.

1 King bed, 1 queen bed, and bonus flex room with a day bed that has 2 twins. A full kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals with free coffee, tea, and decaf! Table with seating up to 6 in the flex room, work desk in the front room.

We don't want to be just another midtown home experience. Themed for the Memphis music lover, we have artwork from local Shelby County school students, photography, and even instruments on hand.

Parking is a breeze for one vehicle in the back off the home. Upstairs portion of this home is also set up as an short term rental (King Sized Retreat). Ask about how to book both spaces for even more flexibility! We live very close by, so if you do have an unusual request then we can accommodate quickly!

We love Memphis, and hope we express that with our place. Being Short Term Rental hosts is very important to us. You aren't staying in a hotel here. We care about your experience, and hope it shows!

Guests will have access to the entire space. The Blues City Abode is setup as a full time short term rental. Your booking is connected to our Igloo Smart Lock Box, where you will be given a unique code to get your keys when you arrive to make self check in a breeze!

We are happy to meet our guest if they like, but at the same time we understand people enjoy their privacy. We'd love to interact as much as the guests like, but at the same time we respect guest's wishes to have a no hassle experience.

For us, Cooper-Young is home. It is where we choose to live, work, and play. Raising our child here has provided a rich, rewarding experience. We can't imagine any where else we'd want to be in Memphis.

Since we're a bit partial, we thought a brief explanation from Memphis Travel's site description might be a good summary of our 'hood: Cooper-Young is one of Memphis' most vibrant and active neighborhoods, with a storied history of art, music, and markets. Johnny Cash recorded his first album in the basement of the Galloway Church here, and the state's largest art festival is held here every year.

Today when you visit, you can see historic homes - most were built before 1915 and the neighborhood is a part of the National Register of Historic Places - and enjoy a plethora of restaurants, bars, shops, and galleries. It's the perfect place to wander and explore, and to get to know Memphis a little better.

We are about a 10 minute ride to downtown. Typical fares for Uber or Lyft to downtown are about $10.

Off street parking is for one space in the back of the home.

Fantastic Stay
Chris & Debbie are the ultimate hosts! They are super responsive and helpful in making sure you have the best possible stay. The location is great and the home is as advertised. Beds were comfortable and loved the added touch of the plush towels! If we come back to Memphis, we will definitely stay with them again.

Great choice for a trip to Memphis
We spent a long weekend to see some sites and visit Beal Street. This was a clean and comfortable place to stay. Chris was easy to deal with and quick to respond. Location was close to everything we wanted to do. We used Lyft to get around and most trips were $12

Sweet 16
We were in Memphis for my daughter’s “Sweet 16”. We enjoyed the Blue City Abode. Location was fabulous, we loved the area. House was clean and spacious. Traveling was myself, daughter and my mother, we definitely felt safe. The only draw back for us was I didn’t realize we would be sharing the property with Upstairs guest (overhead noise ) or cottage in back.(lacked outside privacy) would love to have furniture on porch in front. Would we stay there again, definitely so.

This was the cutest place to stay. They thought of everything. It was so close to downtown and all of the attractions that we were there to see. The communication was very well established and maintained. When we go back again to Memphis, and this place is available, we will be staying here again.

Clean and very spacious
This house was very clean and well organized. My three young kids loved sleeping in the king bed all together. The convenience of the parking, the full size fridge and the large couch to enjoy a family movie night was a nice change from hotel vacations. We even took advantage of the board games! Thank you for having us.

The house has character, and although it is rather old (early 19 hundreds), it is equipped with everything you might need. Communication with the owners Chris and Debbie was quick, easy, and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Memphis stay
The house is very spacious. Plenty of room for the kids and adults to have their own space. Every thing you need to make a meal is in the kitchen. Bathroom is great, shower is huge. Outdoor space is great too. Close to grocery, restaurants, and $7 uber ride to Beale street. I will definitely be staying here again.

Wonderful Stay!
We thorough enjoyed our stay at the Blues City Abode. The house was the perfect size for our party of 3, but could have comfortably fit more. Absolutely loved the houses vibe and style and the street felt safe a welcoming. The owner was particularly helpful, and extremely quick and attentive to all our needs. He went above and beyond to make our stay perfect! We also thought the location was perfect, as literally everything we wanted to do was within 10-15 minutes, including the airport! We would absolutely stay here again and hope to get the chance to!
