I canceled the room within the first hour due to the number of actual sleeping arrangements. No refund has been issued. I will NEVER recommend this person to none of my 100 relatives.

We came for the St.Jude’s race and it was a wonderful, comfy, place to stay. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Shanta was thoughtful to leave us some tasty treats.
Nicely updated bungalow on a quiet street with friendly neighbors. Very clean and comfortable. Easy access to the highway and major thoroughfares with restaurants and stores.
Bring your own shampoo, conditioner, etc.
Bring coffee if that is important to you, too.

Fantastic location and bungalow!
We had a great trip to Memphis. Loved the location of this home, in a beautiful historic neighborhood, and very near a lot of the historic sites that we came to visit. House was clean, well appointed with detail for visitors and just as described and in the pictures. We would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Memphis!

Super Cute Home
This is a super cute house in a quiet neighborhood! Close to things to do, eat, and close enough to downtown! We came for the zoo and it was literally right down the road! We did leave a few recommendations but nothing terrible! We will definitely refer this home to our friends and family & check in with it the next time we come! Thanks again!

Great little home in a great location
We were in town for the Liberty Bowl and had never been to Memphis before. I was a little worried about picking an area to stay (vs staying in a hotel), but in this case, I was VERY happy with our location! We were right between things happening around Beale Street and things happening out at the stadium. There were tons of great restaurants close by, and it was a quick drive to all the tourist destinations we visited. The home is adorable and spacious for a small home. The owner was quick to respond when I reached out with a few questions. The beds weren't the most comfortable to my family, but that's a matter of opinion. Lots of nice touches by the owner.

Convenient, cozy, comfortable, and peaceful.
This property was very accommodating and provided everything you would need and much more!! Our stay at J. B.’s exceeding my expectations!! The pics does this property no justice as it is a very beautiful place in person. This property is close to all the great places to visit in Memphis such as the zoo and museums. I am so happy I booked with Shanta. Thank you Shanta! We will stay here again the next time we visit Memphis!
