City Loft w View of Gay St

What guests think

At City Loft w/ View of Gay St, reviewers consistently praise the central, walkable location near restaurants, Market Square, and the Tennessee Theatre, noting an attractive industrial-style space and comfort, while some report downtown noise and open-plan privacy tradeoffs.

Communication from hosts is frequently described as responsive and clear, though the external check-in app, tricky locks, and rigid policies (parking-pass handling or date-change requests) frustrated a few guests. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found the unit clean, while others noted hairs on linens, dirty rugs, stained shower curtains, ants, and occasional supply shortages. Parking is usually nearby or convenient, but some encountered difficulties. Overall, expect a practical loft stay with strong communication and a few operational tradeoffs.

Stayed for parents weekend - cute place within walking distance of the Square. Advertised coffee would be supplied and even emailed but there was only a coffee maker, creamer and sugar. Also, property manager wouldn’t allow me to mail back parking pass and insisted on charging $50.

This location is so ideal and this was such a easy comfortable lift to stay in for everything we needed to do in Knoxville. The parking was convenient as well and so nice to have. We loved it and will stay again next time we come!

The living room was my favorite part. Cons are the sliding doors, their movement is loud and they’re not very private due to cracks in doors and no locks. Bathroom was fantastic and clean. Great place to stay if you need two bedrooms. Was quiet despite the central location.

Funky and cool space. The bathroom was not pictured on VRBO and I can see why-weird set up and no sink counter space. More cleaning supplies for guest to use would be helpful. A few Ants were visible on the kitchen counter. The kitchen was really not conducive to cooking a meal.

While the location was good, the overall experience was not great.The listing says it sleeps 6; however, 4 of those better be comfortable with sleeping on cushions, because there is only 1 bed and two foldable cushion beds (which is not what is suggested in the listing), which when laid out on the floor, would take most of the remaining area of the loft. Plus no door to the bedroom really makes the lack of privacy an issue.And speaking about lack of privacy, the bathroom door does not even close completely. There is a 4-inch gap that the sliding door does not cover. So be prepared.Overall a nice-ish place, but hard to recommend with the above issues, unless you are just a couple, and very comfortable with each other!
