Thank you so much for your kind words, Nicki! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location and found everything you needed during your stay—even the little extras like the umbrella. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Great location, amenities exactly as listed, easiest check-in/checkout I've experienced.Those with mobility issues will have trouble with the stairs. Otherwise, great home base for a single traveler or couple who don't need a lot of space.

We're glad you appreciated our convenient location near King Street. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
The property was quaint and welcoming! We enjoyed the perks that were provided and it was in a great location near King Street! The bathroom/shower was a bit small, which was no bother to us but might be a hinderance for those who may be a bigger build. All in all a wonderful stay!

Cute little unit in a great location just over a block from King street and all the bars and restaurants. The place was small but it was just what we needed. We would definitely start there again!

The unit was in a great location and having a parking place was a big plus. It was clean and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. The description was exactly as stated. If you can't maneuver the narrow spiral staircase, then consider a different booking. We were very pleased.

We're so glad you were pleased with your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime!
Cute and clean, within ideal walking distance from shops and fabulous restaurants. Hosts responsive and helpful. Spiral staircase would not suit everyone.

Such a great place! Amenities were perfect! Very thoughtful set up. Clean, bed was incredibly comfortable. Loved that whoever set up the room had the air on and lights to really showcase and give a wow factor when I walked in. Thank you for making my stay wonderful! Also great location near downtown! Video was super helpful showing where to park etc

Super Cozy, Super Clean and tidy... awesome but not a place for giants
Greeted by a welcome wine and easy entrance complete with a youtube of how to get in! Brilliant. Good location. Super clean and very efficient use of space, but not a place for giants, larger formats, or mobility-challenged guests.

Great Location! Easy Access! Awesome Customer Service!
The Property Management gave me excellent details on how to get there, where to park and how to access the property. They answer questions very quickly via the Vrbo app. The location of this rental is on point! You can walk to a lot of the major attractions, shops and restaurants. Uber/Lyft is easy to order for all the rest or if you don't want to walk that much. The rental was clean and had everything we needed for a great weekend!

The pictures of this property accurately display the property. It is very small, but very cozy! It is fairly close to everything, but a good mile to a mile and a half walk to the market place in the historic district!

Thanks for your 5 stars, Joanne, we're so glad you enjoyed our cozy loft! This unit is located in the ‘Cannonborough-Elliotborough’ neighborhood of Downtown Charleston, which is the most upcoming neighborhood on the peninsula. It is also the only neighborhood in Downtown Charleston where Short Term Rentals are considered legal. We are just one block from upper King Street, and also surrounded by local coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries, etc. The Historic District, otherwise known as the French Quarter, makes up a very small part of downtown and is walkable from the unit, although Short Term Rentals are not allowed in the French Quarter. Thank you for being our guest, we would love to welcome you back any time!
Property was very clean, comfortable, easy to find and check-in. They even left us a welcome gift bag and bottle of wine! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the bathroom and shower are quite small and tight to navigate, even smaller than I was expecting from the pictures. My husband and I were able to make the space work because we spent the majority of our time our of the apartment and really only slept and got ready in the space. This apartment would be ideal for 1 person staying, or 2 people if you don't plan on being there long. Would absolutely stay with CHC properties again - communication and cleanliness were excellent.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Rebecca! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, and the little touches like the welcome gift and bottle of wine. We appreciate your feedback about the bathroom size; we understand that space can be a consideration, especially in our cozy apartments. It’s great to know that you were able to make it work and enjoy your stay overall. We’d love to host you again in the future, and if you have any specific needs or preferences, don’t hesitate to reach out. Safe travels!
This loft was in prime location, and very clean. The bed upstairs was comfortable. There was a plumbing issue within the building on our last night, but the situation was quickly handled by management and we were relocated.
Things to note: the loft is extremely small. Listing is accurate but did not realize how small it was until we walked inside. The spiral staircase steps are very narrow. Bathroom is so small that taking a shower was a challenge.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Thank you.

We are so delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us, Mindy. Thank you so much for staying with us, and taking the time to write this review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed location! While we know things didn't go as planned, thank you for being so positive and understanding. We hope the next time you find yourself in Charleston, we are able to welcome you back.
This property is in a great walkable location which was the priority for us on this stay. I will say the studio is so small it is almost impossible to function for more than 1 day here. The shower was almost too small to fit into - I am an average sized woman and could barely get into the shower. At one point the water was turned off and we were not notified. I did reach out and received a quick reply from the agency but still inconvenient for us. Also please note while most buildings in Charleston are old, the walls were so thin we could hear the neighbors sneeze next door. Every word of our conversations and theirs were heard between the units. Just FYI if you prefer quiet at night. It was just too small overall - the photos are nice but definitely make the space look larger than it is. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t stay again.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the walkable location, though we're sorry to learn that the studio layout and size didn’t meet your expectations. Regarding the water shutoff, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. There was a leak in a neighboring unit, and the plumber had to turn the water off for approximately 15 minutes to repair a section of pipe. Unfortunately, we were not made aware this would happen until it had already occurred. We understand how frustrating that must have been and appreciate your patience. We also recognize that, while the space is compact, it may not be the best fit for all guests. Your comments are helpful, and we’ll continue to use this type of feedback to improve the guest experience.
Clean. Met my needs. Easy to work with. Would stay again.
