Relax in style on a cool gel foam king bed in our 101 yr old Midtown Memphis downstairs apartment. Paint in your private art studio, sway on the porch swing, or listen to records while playing board games. Private laundry, a full kitchen, Roku TV, fast Wi-Fi, and starter coffee. This downstairs apartment in a 101 year old duplex is just steps from Overton Park’s trails, zoo, Brooks Museum, plus Overton Square’s live music, eateries, and downtown. Not suburbia, real old home with creaking floors!
The space
Imagine relaxing in the king bed in our 1924 Evergreen Historic District home, Midtown AcaDreamia Memphis.
Mornings begin on the covered porch swing, coffee in hand, as sunlight filters through tree-lined streets. Inside, every room invites discovery: a stocked art studio where you can paint or draw to unwind, a pink-tiled bathroom hiding vintage charm, and board games and a collection 45s with a record player, ready for cozy afternoons. With private in-unit laundry, you’ll travel light and stay relaxed from day one.

Live Like a Local in the Heart of Memphis
Welcome to your home base in one of Memphis’s most centrally located, character-filled neighborhoods. We’re just minutes from downtown, the medical district, and all the soul food, music, and history that make this city unforgettable.
This is not a generic hotel stay. It’s a real Memphis experience—city energy, quirks, charm, and all. Expect the sounds of the city, an eclectic mix of neighbors, and a glimpse of real life happening all around you. Grocery stores here have security guards (as they do across most urban centers), construction pops up from time to time, and yes, we still wave to our neighbors from the porch.
If you're looking for sterile perfection or luxury suburbia, this probably isn’t the right fit. But if you’re up for comfort, character, and being close to everything, you’ll feel right at home.
Please note this is a duplex with another unit above. Because the home has original wood floors, you may occasionally hear normal footsteps or movement from neighboring guests. If you are very sensitive to noise, this property may not be the best fit.
We’ve poured a lot of care into this space, and we love sharing it with guests who appreciate Memphis for what it is: bold, layered, and unapologetically itself.
This apartment is near the Memphis, TN medical district.
218 Miles from Carbondale, Illinois
(3 and a half hour drive to Carbondale.)
