The place was clean, comfortable and perfect for 2. The only thing that concerned me was the unkept yard. The location was great for visiting Memphis.

We did not realize this was a tri-plex, but it was still private and quiet.

Overall, this was a good place to stay. With a little work, it could be a great place. First, here's what I found to be good:
-Good location. Near a lot of retail and restaurants. Although it was near a very busy street (main thoroughfare), I was not bothered with excessive noise.
-Privacy. This property is split into two units: a front and back. I stayed in the back unit and I don't regret the decision. There was a small, shady patio area in the back that was an enjoyable place to have a glass of wine after a long day. Inside I could occasionally hear people walking in the adjoining rental (not unlike most apartment buildings), but it was not a significant bother.
-Off street parking. The rear unit requires you to drive to the back of the property along a narrow driveway, but there is ample room to turn your car around. This avoids a long backup in reverse as you leave. I appreciated the privacy of having the car off the street.
Now for the not so good. There weren't severe shortcomings and none would prevent me from renting the property again. However all posed inconveniences and should be fixed.
-The dishwasher didn't work. It didn't appear to have worked in a while.
-The icemaker didn't work. Nor were there any ice trays. I had to purchase a bag of ice from a nearby Kroger.
-What seems to have been a roof leak has caused ceiling damage in the kitchen. The area was a couple feet in diameter and the drywall was peeling away and pieces had fallen on the top of the refrigerator.
-The sitting/television room has 10-12 feet of windows. Unfortunately, nearly all of the blinds for these windows had bent and missing slats. This would make privacy a concern for many.
-The bed linens appeared to have been washed and cleaned, but they were very old. The sheets and pillowcases were dingy and old. I always bring my own pillow and I'm glad that I did. The pillows on the bed were very stained. The mattress however had a protective liner and was extremely comfortable. The bedspread was very worn.
-The towels were in a bit better condition than the bed linens but not by much.
Overall, for the price this was a good place to stay and I would stay here again. I suggest to any property owner that if you want a 'good' property to appear 'great' to your tenants, be aware of the linens, particularly the bedding. Plush towels and clean, new(ish) bedding gives a resort feel to a rental.

Location Location Location-- close enough to the city but far enough away from the hustle and bustle ! Just 15 minutes to Beale St area-- love being close but also love a great location that is in a quiet neighborhood as well. Rental Unit has everything you will need, Super Comfy Bed, nice kitchen, nice living room. Found a nice park near by that we played pickle ball with the locals-- nice area... Communication with owners was excellent as well. Nice solid home all around....

Overall the stay wasn't bad. A few things needs attention. The property needs to be sprayed for insects. There were small flying bugs in the living room area. Soft matching towel set with hand and face towels needed. Shower mat would be nice. Overall stay wasn't bad. Could hear the child next door a lot. Overall wasn't bad. Enjoyed the visit.

If you are looking for a quiet and homey place to stay rather than a motel this is a great place. It is an older home that has been remodeled into apartments so there are other close guests but we never heard our neighbors. If you are looking for upscale sleek and perfection this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a simple nice homey and comfortable place and are willing to overlook a few flaws here and there then this is the place for you. Nicely redone kitchen. Comfortable bed. Pillow cases had some stains but were clean. Only one wash cloth so that was kind of an issue. But overall a great little place. We had an issue with a leak in the kitchen while we were there. Owner was out of town so it didn’t get resolved while we were there. He did communicate with us though. These things happen- not the owner’s fault.

Comfortable, Clean, & Quiet
I loved this little place. It was just right for two people. Super comfortable. Parking is at the back of the property and it felt like we were tucked away and out of sight. Really comfortable furnishings, super practical and functional. I loved the large tree lined street where I walked and enjoyed looking at the neighborhood. Quiet. I was only here for a short while. Would not hesitate to stay again and for longer!

Ben's place is really amazing, very comfortable and fully equipped. Relatively close to the university, which was exactly what I needed and in a very charming street. Also, communication was easy and fast, Ben, was always ready to answer and help. Totally recommend his place.

Great neighborhood and host!
We had a great stay here. The house was the perfect size for the two of us. We had an issue with the fire alarm while here, but the host answered quickly and got the problem taken care of immediately. We were warned ahead of time that the parking spot was tight, but we fit our one ton dually in the spot. Neighborhood was very safe, but close drive to Beale Street and other activities. House had everything you would need for your stay, including being stocked with shower supplies and snacks and coffee. Host went above and beyond. Would definitely stay here again!

Quiet safe neighborhood
The triplex is adequately furnished and clean. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Bed has a 3 inch foam topper with soft linens and extra pillows and blankets if needed. The walls are very thin. Despite a note from the owner asking for all to be quiet after 10, others need to abide. One can hear footsteps, cabinets closing, conversations and TV from adjacent apartment. Unfortunately we had neighbors that either did not read the check in instructions or jus rudely ignored them-from parking in our parking spot to having to bang on the wall to get them to turn off their TV at 11:45 pm. We were very thankful that owner was very quick (immediate) to respond to the parking issue.

Clean, cozy, and quiet
This is a great, little apartment that is clean, well furnished, quiet and well located for our purposes. The street is beautiful and low traffic, but within walking distance of restaurants, a grocery store, and shopping. The owner is quick to respond and easy to deal with it. A pleasant stay all around.

Enjoyed Our Memphis Stay
Memphis was the first stop on our Southern road trip vacation and our first place to stay was the Brown Door Cottage. Perfect amount of space for the two of us. The kitchen was huge compared to the cottage’s square footage, the living room was comfortable. Most importantly, the location was perfect for us with Starbucks around the corner and an LA Fitness just over a mile up the road. We were a brief Uber/Lift to downtown. We caught a ride the Central BBQ then decided to walk back the 1.8 miles. Our navigation took us thru a beautiful neighborhood. Felt safe in the neighborhood and in the home. Sensor lights brightly lit our way to the unit. Someone was staying in the front cottage but we didn’t hear them. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Good Location for the 1/3 Apartment
Overall the place is very nice, clean and good location as described. However, the description is a bit misleading. I thought I was getting this little cottage for ourselves but what we really got was one of the 3 apartment the house is divided into. The description sounds like the place was just renovated but the signs show a different story. Some of the ceiling was peeling off and the bed felt like a new mattress is needed. I still recommend. I just wish the description of the place would tell us the true story so people is not disappointed like I was.

Cute little place
This was a very clean and affordable one bedroom. It is small but larger than a hotel plus full kitchen and a washer and dryer! Parking can be tight if you want your vehicle off the road but it is doable if you can back up well. Owner is very easy to work with and very accommodating.
