We have just returned from an awesome 7 day Tennessee tour. Our first three nights were spent at Alan's 5 Point apartment. Alan was helpful from the start providing lots of information and helping us through our first Airbnb experience. The apt was everything as advertised. It is right in the heart of the very cool '5 Points" which offers a good mix of upper scale dining / bars to the more casual. Including the worlds coolest hot dog stand. There are at least 4 or 5 very neat places to drink/eat/party within 2 blocks. It offers some excellent "close to home" alternatives to the hustle and bustle of downtown. My biggest advice to renters of the apt would be to go to the apartment and check out the fridge & cupboards before going shopping. You'd be surprised how little you actually need if you are planning on making a few meals yourself. The kitchen is well appointed with all the dishes, cutlery, pots pans etc you'll need. Not to mention the jams, coffee cream, peanut butters, condiments etc. The Bed was comfortable and the bathroom roomy. Double sinks are always a bonus. We had friends stay with us for a night and said they slept well on the the pull-out. The TV room (I don't know what else to call it lol) is awesome - we had a minor glitch with the Net-Flix, which Alan remedied via text message, totally our fault by the way.
We moved from Alan's to the Double Tree in Memphis and all commented on how much we missed the apt. There is just no way a hotel room can ever have the "homey feel" of a unit like Alan's. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a great location and cool, roomy location to stay while visiting the area. Thanks again Alan.
