Excellent location right on the square for exceptionally easy getting around. Super welcoming with snacks and drinks (including juice boxes, soda, coffee/ tea/ cider/ hot chocolate ) available- what a nice touch! Well stocked apartment in general- cooking supplies/ spices/ etc, games, booksThe urban noise mentioned in the listing is accurate but totally manageable with the provided fans and ear plugs. The off site parking in near-by garages was a little annoying (no longer free on Saturdays) but a reasonable trade off to be right on the square

The Perfect Condo

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo was perfect in every way for our group of 5 adults. It was spacious, very clean and in a perfect location with lots of shops and restaurants. We were about a mile away from Thompson Boling Arena where we saw Blake Shelton!! We will definitely stay here again when in Knoxville.

Fantastic location

What a great location! We were right there for the tree lighting, fantasy Christmas tree exhibit at the convention center and even squeezed in a movie all within easy walking distance! The neighborhood was what you would expect of staying In a downtown location...a little noisy and a bit scruffy but still with southern charm. The apartment itself surprised us with nice little amenities like coffee, soda, and candy. This helped us to overlook that the cleaning was a little rough. Overall, We enjoyed ourselves and this property.

The Wonder of Market Square

As former Knoxvillians, I remember this property years ago before it was improved. Congratulations to all those who contributed to the development that is Market Square--a unique and diverse place to be! The Garden was well maintained and perfectly supplied for our arrival and stay of a week. Ample linens and kitchen supplies, and full amenities. We will definitely think about this location for our next long stay. There is nothing like the diversity of being a part of the Market Square scene. Our hosts made this the best experience for us (grandparents) and several of our grandson's friends during his graduation from Fulton HS. Stay here for a memorable vacation!

Dubbed by the Knoxville News Sentinel as downtown Knoxville's cheerleaders, Scott and I have been a part of downtown revitalization for over 25 years. We love downtown!

As an international flight attendant for 21 years, I know what makes a great place to stay, and this is it.

Why they chose this property

This lovely flat at 36 Market Square is perfectly located. All the things you want to do (world-class dining, fantastic shopping, great nightspots) are short walks from your door. Even UT sports are only a twenty minute walk. Historic Market Square is THE center of Knoxville and on of THE best locations to stay in downtown.
You won't even need your car during your stay.
Supremely well located next to hundreds of award-winning restaurants, lively bars, art galleries, history museums, and boutique shopping of all kinds, this is the perfect place to stay for those who wish to immerse themselves in downtown Knoxville history and culture. A fair good amount of the places in downtown Knoxville are locally owned and operated, so you can really get a feel for our southern hospitality.
