Great condo perfect location

We had a great stay at Emma’s condo. The location is amazing, she was very helpful and communicative. The space is surprisingly large with plenty of room. We had a group of friends for my wife’s birthday party come over and then a few of us stayed the night. Would 100% rent again and recommend.

Modern rustic retreat in Knoxville

What an absolutely beautiful loft! Our family loved staying here. We were in town visiting our daughter who is a student at UT. This location was perfect for us to enjoy the city and the campus. The unit is beautifully decorated and the huge windows provide plenty of light an a fantastic view. The rooftop deck was such a nice treat! I highly recommend this location. We'll stay again!

Perfect Gay Street Loft!

My husband and I lived in Knoxville for several years, but moved away shortly after having our daughter. We decided to take a quick spring break trip to let our kids experience Knoxville. It was fabulous! First of all, the apartment is directly across Gay Street from Cruze Farm’s Downtown location. We had ice cream each night! While the beautiful, spacious kitchen in the loft is an absolute dream, we didn’t really use it. We walked to a new restaurant for each meal. Our kids loved that there were so many amazing food options close by. The only downside (which I absolutely expected) was the “downtown noise”. We could hear people talking loudly and racing their engines at night, but all of us were able to fall asleep and sleep soundly. If you are a light sleeper, I’d suggest some earplugs or a sound machine. Even with the noise, I highly recommend staying here! Such a fun experience for the whole family!

Too bad

In my opinion this property was not as described or photographed. It is not adequate for 6 people as stated in the details. When we first arrived there were no sheets for the pull out bed in the loft. The host was responsive and had housekeeping bring them by. But, there has possibly been a change in housekeeping from some of the previous reviews as the property was not what up to standards. Dirty sheets were left in the closet, there was dust EVERYWHERE. The master bathroom had dirty bathmats and mold in the shower. The soaps in both of the bathrooms were not refilled and the shower light did not work. The shades in the master did not raise and many of the shades in the large living room were broken. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom was also broken. Like one other reviewer stated, this is a VERY noisy property. Street drag racing goes on all night from about 1 am for several hours. In addition, the AC rattles on and off very loudly every 20 minutes. It was very hard to sleep at all. I feel like this should be stated in the description of this property. In addition, the neighborhood was sketchy and you have to park your vehicle around the corner and walk. You may have to deal with homeless vagrants in the area. With that being said, the host was responsive to complaints and did offer to bring a fan for the master bedroom and a blow up mattress to accommodate. We did not take them up on this offer and vacated the property.

We couldnt figure out the thermostat, so the bedrooms were warm, host was responsive. Laundry pods, dishwasher pods, and trashbags provided. Tons of towels! We couldnt figure out the dishwasher so we loaded it and put the pod in, ready for the cleaners. Wonderful place, absolutely beautiful.

So impressive

We have rented various flats, both in the US and abroad for over 40 years This penthouse ranks with our favorites. It would spasciously accomodate two couples+. And, the roof-top patio is an added bonus. The well thought-out floor plan (with the second floor mezzanine overlooking the main floor), allows for a bright snd airy atmosphere. Furniture and appliances were all very modern. The location was as central as it gets, alongside the Market Square. We didn't rent a vehicle: almost everything was within walking distance, and the free trolleys covered the rest. Knoxville is a gem of a city, and we had the best "home" from which to visit it.

Very nice place

We were fortunate to book this property at the last minute because we were snowed in due to the winter storm. The city was basically shut down and we were able to hang out and cook in this very cozy property! Luckily Emma was fantastic and allowed us to check-in early! We will definitely try to book again next time we’re in Knoxville.

About the host

Hosted by Kristiana Orem

Host profile image
Knoxville is a great town and Tailor Lofts is in the heart of it! I'm from the East Tennessee area 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 City of Knoxville offers hundreds of acres with outdoor opportunities in diverse park and green-way settings – including forests, flower-covered fields, quarry lakes, creeks, rivers, and exciting bluffs, many located within just a few minutes of downtown.

The Smoky Mountains in all their splendor are right outside our backdoor. They always refresh my soul. Whether it's a hike in the mountains or a bike ride around Cades Cove, there is no place I would rather be than East Tennessee!

Why they chose this property

Many Knoxvillians still refer to this building as the Arby's Building. Arby's did serve customers for more than three decades here. The building was completely renovated in 2014 and now houses nine apartments and Blackhorse Pub and Brewery.

What makes this property unique

Just step outside Tailor Lofts (or walk downstairs to the restaurant/bar on the ground floor) and you are in the heart of downtown Knoxville. From concerts to canoeing, museums to music festivals, memories are made here in Knoxville. The city is home to a number of festivals, highly acclaimed museums, fantastic civil war sites, a world class zoo, and a unique Urban Wilderness that offers 1,000 acres of adventure within the city limits. You will find that Knoxville is also one of the most vibrant cities for live music. Music is on its streets and stages throughout the city. All of this just steps away from you when you stay at Tailor Lofts!
