Historic Elegance on Gay Street

We spent six nights here and would rent this place again. It is a spacious, tastefully decorated, well-furnished conversion of a 1920s commercial building, with the usual exposed brick, exposed ductwork (nicely wrapped), high ceilings, original dark wood flooring, etc. The kitchen appliances are new and top brand. Kitchen and bathroom have all the essentials. Beds are plenty comfortable. Good towels and linens. Hosts are friendly and extremely responsive. The building is quiet and private. Uncertain whether the building is fully occupied—some conversion work or change of ownership may still be underway. The developers should be commended for their contribution to revitalizing downtown Knoxville.High windows in the living area allow plenty of light. You are on the fourth floor and can see the mountains in the distance and watch the sun rise over them. Heating worked extremely well during a cold snap. The rush of forced air might seem loud and the air perhaps a little dry, but all-in-all very comfortable. The number of vents and ceiling fans suggests this rental would be cool in summer.Overnight parking is free but a little tricky. Use metered street parking to unload and load.

This condo is gorgeous. Top end finishes. Super comfortable bed and sofa. Perfect apartment for my extended weekend stay. On Gay street. With easy access to Market Square and the Old City. Great place to stay.
