Great location for UT campus. Cute and cozy apartment. Wonderful communication from owner. Will definitely stay again. One thing to note is that the upstairs unit controls the AC so it can get cold downstairs (pack accordingly) but there are individual units in the bedrooms

We had a great stay, the property was perfect for us to stay at while we moved our daughter into the UTK. It was super clean, easy to access. I was a little suspicious of the area it is on the end of a transitional area but it was fine and had a security system. Very convenient to the University and restaurants

We were pleasantly surprised w the amenities (TVs, bathroom accessories, kitchen utensils pots n pans, Spices/condiments, extra pillows/blankets, and even a couple laundry pods to get us started.). Visiting college kids and having a W/D was fantastic.

We had an excellent stay at the Downtown Retreat! The property was exactly as described in the listing. Extremely clean with lots of personal touches. The home was equipped with everything we needed plus more. The neighborhood was safe and quiet and we enjoyed walking our dog around the area.

Quaint Property Perfect Location

We had a great stay at this property. It was truly in the heart of downtown so we were able to get to all of the locations we were visiting within a 4 to 6 minute drive. The house was very clean and just enough space for two people, while there are two bedrooms I feel like it may be a little snug for 4 people. Only concerns were, the property driveway was not very well marked, so Uber has had a hard time finding it, or would pass the driveway. And the other note is whoever lives upstairs, does have a dog which was quite loud in the mornings, but other than that, no complaints, would definitely stay again!

A little difficult to see and park. Location was overly complicated to access the several freeways that converged at Summit Hill. Interior was very nice. Had more equipment than necessary for such a small kitchen. There was no ability to control the temperature as it was set and managed from the apartment above. The minisplits AC did not cure this problem at all. It was too uncomfortable for us and I had to purchase more clothing. Other than that, it was very nice.
