David was very good at communicating with me and asnwering my questions quickly. The apartment was perfect for me and I walked all over town from there. It was also very close to the free shuttle stop to various locations downtown. Highly rated places to eat were also nearby as well as places to grab coffee early in the morning. The added benefit of a desigated parking was also very helpful. The apartment was quiet and I felt safe walking around and it was easy to exit the Penninsula to places like Mt. Pleasant and other nearby destinations when I used a car.

We had a great stay at The Alcove. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, with a cozy atmosphere and a very comfortable king bed. The location was perfect - an easy walk to King Street and plenty of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby.The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive throughout our stay. Their communication before and during the trip made everything simple, and they were especially helpful with our early arrival. They let us drop off our bags and even brought them to the unit for us, which we really appreciated. Overall, the place was well-kept, had all the essentials, and made for a smooth, enjoyable trip. We’d definitely stay here again.
