Thank you for staying with us, James! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location of the property and hope to host you again on future trips to Charleston!
We had a great time here! It was perfect for our bachelorette group of 7. The beds were very comfy. We really loved the shower in the guest bathroom. The blue cabinets were adorable. There were two coffee makers. AC worked great and all rooms had fans. I would definitely stay here again!
Property was new, modern, and sparkling clean! Beds were comfy and kitchen had all amenities. Excellent communication with the host and vrbo before and during my stay. The location was a block and a half from King Street and everything you would want - bars, restaurants, bakery, bagels, coffee, and ice cream! Highly recommend ****
Amazing location just around the corner from everything happening down on King Street. Super trendy decor & comfortable beds. Loved having the whole upstairs of the unit to myself and only 1 other guest party in the unit downstairs. The only thing I wish was different was there were large 1 and a 1/2 inch gaps under both the front door & back door (which is in the master bedroom), which let daylight, streetlights, street noise, and bugs in all day and night.
We had a wonderful visit to Charleston, and the location of this property is excellent. It is only a couple of blocks away from all of the restaurants and shopping on King Street. The condo was very clean, and the communication with the property manager was great. The neighborhood was very loud during our stay, since we visited over Halloween weekend. I would recommend installing weather stripping at the bottom of the exterior doors to help with outside noise and insects. Otherwise the condo was perfect for our group of 4 adults.
Check-in was good. Bathroom sink was backed up.I recommend getting some playing cards or games. Couch is uncomfortable, sorry, I hate adding that but it was. More staples in the kitchen would be nice. You can also hear everything going on outside so 2 am can be a little loud. I am sure the people partying are good with that but we're not. Aestheticly it was very nice, loved the blue in the kitchen and the bathrooms are great color combos. Beds were very comfortable.
We had a lovely stay in Charleston.
Pros- comfortable beds, good location, clean.
Cons- walls were so thin it sounded like people in the street were in the house. Front bedroom very loud at night even with included white noise. Outlets in room limited. Storage limited but they did make an effort to maximize where they could.
