Great location. Very nice apartment.As noted, noise is a factor. Overall, it was not bad, but there was a loud industrial vacuum or sweeper making a loud noise for about a half hour in the early morning hours.Knoxville is great and this is an ideal location to take it all in. We enjoyed Market Square and a Vols football game.
