J 84 #1 · Jolly Jefferson Ave - Walk to the best of Midtown!

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 in the perfect location and walkable to one of the most popular areas of memphis, everything is provided you would ever need and I really appreciate the off Street secured parking. Actually one of the better sleeping beds I've stayed in recently. Wouldn't change a thing.

Comfortable -
My aunt and I visited Memphis. Our apartment was close to everything. The gate enclosure made me feel safe. I have rented from vrbo many times, but never have I had a host so easy to work with. Tim and his team responded to my questions almost immediately. The space was perfect for two people. We visited during unusually frigid temperatures and was grateful for running water and heat. I would stay here again.

My selection was based solely on what I found on the Internet looking for something in the Overton area. Was pleasantly surprised and very satisfied with the facility. Next trip to Memphis I will try to book this place again.

After a confusing arrival, a great stay...
Great little place, and we enjoyed our stay, with only a couple of minor comments. The property is a pair of single-story multi-unit buildings on a gated lot with the back of the property paved for at least 15 parking spots. We could see the door of our unit from the street before we ever drove through the coded gate, but after we parked, the unit access instructions were a bit unclear on where the actual entry door (with the security lock where the entry code has to be entered) was and we walked around the entire building twice before we figured out which door was ours. Once we figured that out (after many hours on the road, so a little frustrating), subsequent entry and exit was straightforward. The only other comment is about the kitchen equipment. Very few dishes and flatware (pretty much have to wash dishes after every meal or you won't have dishes for the next meal), and there was no can opener of any kind, so we had to go buy one. Great restaurants and entertainment options (Lafayette Music Room) within a two block walk.

Nice area but needs better cleaning
The apartment was decorated very nicely and located in a nice part of Memphis. The only issue I had was the cleanliness. The apartment has a bad smell and the bathroom was disgusting. Hair and dirt in the tub, towels had hair on them, floor mat was hanging on the shower rail with hair all over it. I immediately reached out to the manager and they apologized and said they would come to clean the next day but I couldn't wait until then. So I had to clean it myself in order to feel somewhat comfortable. And as I was cleaning, I found stains on the sheets so I just went out to the store and bought my own along with some air freshener. Other then that, everything went good ( communication, check in-out).

Initial disappointment
When we walked in, we thought we had the wrong apartment as some of it was not what was pictured in the VRBO listing...After initial inspection, we realized that it was minimually equipped or not equipped (no hangars in the closet, no dish towels, 3 forks, 2 spoons etc) We were just two people BUT we had to wash our silverware and dishware after every meal and use a bath towel or paper towels to dry everything off. Also, it was quite grungy...I had to sweep the apartment of some debris..My husband made a trip to the local grocery to get disinfecting wipes to wipe everything down. The refrigerator was leaking water all over the kitchen floor...I alerted the property manager that the refrigerator was leaking and didn't seem cold and, to his credit, he got right back to me and said he would get a new refrigerator for us "at some point" during our stay.. ....I also mentioned that whoever does the cleaning for his properties, shouldn't. He apologized and said he was sorry it didnt meet our standards. Ummmm....we're not "THOSE" kind of people but do expect a certain level of care to anything we rent thru VRBO. After my husband gave a closer inspection of the fridge, it seems as though someone had defrosted it, let the water pool in the bottom of the fridge and never turned it back on. We cleaned up the mess, turned it on and it worked fine. So, our first night was spent cleaning and washing everything and eventually we settled in.....And during the week there, we spent a lot of time outside bc the weather was lovely....the nearby park is a def plus...and exploring Memphis was quite fun. We had no car so depended on Uber and Lyft, which turned out to be quite difficult ...so difficult, in fact, that our last night there we stayed in a hotel out near the airport rather than the apartment, bc we had an 6am flight out and were afraid we wouldn't get an Uber....All said, we adjusted and managed but frankly, this property needs some TLC..oh, and the mechanism in the toilet tank doesn't work so every minute or so, it ran...a colossal waste of water...
