Professional Management is provided by Halo Hospitality throughout your stay. Our office is open Monday-Friday from 9:00am - 4:00pm, and provide after hours and weekend emergency services should you need any assistance.

ADVISORY NOTE:

Our loft is located in the heart of downtown Knoxville’s vibrant Arts District. With this incredible location comes the natural hum of city life. Guests may occasionally notice:

   >Downtown noise from restaurants, nightlife, special events, or nearby traintracks

   >Visible homeless activity, which is common in most urban areas

Most guests find this part of the authentic downtown experience, but if you’re a light sleeper, we recommend using the provided white noise for added comfort. The building is secure and professionally managed, and your complimentary parking space is located in a lot directly behind the building.

Extremely clean and comfortable.  Lived up to the listing.

Very nice Airbnb. It has everything you need and the location is great. Communication was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.

We had to call once we got there and finally got the address parking lot but could barely understand the person we were talking to

It was a great place. Clean and had what we needed. The floors are super creaky and lots of different codes to get into the unit..but it was great.

We had a great stay at this beautiful condo. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed throughout our visit. The space was inviting, the amenities were thoughtful, and it made for an easy, enjoyable trip. We would happily stay here again.
