Historic Awesome Place
A condo full of old Knoxville history. Large, comfortable place with lots of things to do. Could use a bathroom nearer the three large bedrooms for those of us older renters. Overall I would rent it again.

Good, but given the price, should have been better!
Overall we had a good stay at Friedman’s Loft. The location is very handy to many shops, restaurants, and the Market on the weekends. The Loft offers plenty of space that enables guests to spread out, but also has a very large kitchen and eating area for everyone. We liked the bedroom layout as it was very quiet and spacious. There are plenty of amenities at the Loft that you will find enhances your stay even though not everything was in working order. Unfortunately the two “car garage” was not usable to us as we had two SUV’s and there is a height restriction that only allow cars. (We realize that this is an older facility and making any changes would be pretty difficult). Also, the parking area just behind the Loft while convenient you had to be out by 04:45 AM the next day! We parked 3 blocks away in a Public Parking Lot and it worked out ok. We were also disappointed that the chair coverings were dirty, the "information book" was out updated and the pots/pans in the kitchen very "used". The biggest concern we had was the main hardwood floor was “buckled” at least 4 inches high and about 10 feet long & it was hard to get the main door open. Lastly, we tried many times to communicate with the Host and were getting very worried as we would not get any calls/texts back. We even contacted VRBO and they couldn't always reach them. This was very frustrating and not acceptable. We hope they make the appropriate improvements because it does offer a great location and amenities.

Beware Heaters Not Working
While a beautiful space, the heaters in the property were unable to handle the cold temps outside. The heater on the Speakeasy didn't work - the room never got above 45°. And the master bedroom heater never got the room above low 60s. I expected some type of discount. The manager/owner said no go. "Please accept our apologies. We hope you'll book with us again." Crazy. Disappointing that they blamed the weather, but the renter has no such recourse. Good customer service would have extended some type of discount.

Absolutely Stunning
The Loft is absolutely stunning. We hosted an executive board meeting and dinner. Our guests said it was our best holiday dinner ever. I was impressed with the host’s responsiveness and attention to detail. The amenities are amazing. I think the Friedman Loft will no longer be Knoxville!s best kept secret.

Wonderful property…well decorated! Inconvenient parking options but that’s to be expected with any downtown property as is the street noise/sirens. Fantastic communication with manager. Small inconvenience was the one bathroom on the 2nd floor for the three queen bedrooms.

Amazing Loft
We were above pleased with this loft! It is absolutely beautiful! It was exactly as listed. Emma was amazing to work with for our stay. She responded quickly and professional. 5 stars isn’t enough for this amazing property. It is very convenient to downtown and has easy access. Highly recommend this property and we will definitely plan another trip to stay here.

Couldn’t have asked for anything better….
I don’t even know where to begin with how happy we were staying here. We had to book last minute, and we were coming into town for a funeral from Michigan. We had my family of 8 and my brothers family of 5 and this space was perfect for the adults, teenagers, and kids. It gave us the space we needed for our individual families as well as for us to be together during this difficult time. The communication with the property owner was always fast and helpful, we ran into no issues when we were there but check in, booking, inquiries, were all handled promptly and was some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. It meant a lot to our family that we got to all stay together during this time and I can’t thank you enough for letting us stay.

Nice property, but tricky to get into.
My family thought this was a great place to stay in downtown Knoxville. However, unloading and getting luggage into the property was a pain in the neck. Elevator access is from a garage entered from a back alley. However, the key pad to the garage wasn't working properly and apparently hasn't been for some time. The property manager said they were going to get a quote to replace it. That's good news for future guests, but it didn't help us. I would confirm it has been fixed before staying here - unless you have no luggage.

What a beautiful property. We had a wonderful weekend visiting our daughter at UTK and attending a basketball game. Property was as good or better than described.

About the host

Hosted by Emma Trent

Host profile image
Knoxville is an amazing town and these properties in which I have been entrusted to are in the heart of downtown Knoxville. I grew up here and am most excited to be sharing Knoxville with people from all over. There are always fun things going on in Knoxville. Market Square, the Old City, and World's Fair Park always seem to have something happening. And then there is always Tennessee football!

The Smoky Mountains, in all their splendor, are right outside our back door. Whether it's a hike in the mountains or a bike ride around Cades Cove, east Tennessee is one of the most beautiful places to visit, or even better, call home!

What makes this property unique

This property is within walking distance of shops, Delicious local restaurants, bars, and more! The coolest features of this property are:
A hidden speak easy bar area that utilizes an actual vault door that was left behind from a jewelry store that used to occupy the building.
Your own personal sauna and spay area.
A pool table and poker table.
And a small little area to get your workout in!
