Cute. Perfect little studio

We loved this location! Little shops, bars, and a fantastic restaurant right below the apartment. No issues, comfortable bed, and the kitchen had everything we needed for the week. The noise of the restaurant didn’t bother us at all, it closed relatively early and we were not disturbed. Also we took advantage of the club membership that came with the rental and used it to go to the gym/coffee shop.

Frustrating communication

My boyfriend and I were so excited to get to the location, and we had a very terrible time trying to figure out the parking situation. The instructions were unclear, and it took us 45 minutes of circling the property, connecting with the management company, and talking to the local restaurant connected to the property to understand the parking situation.

This location/Burrough of Charleston is so charming! We walked almost everywhere and took advantage of the top notch businesses just down the street. Make the Chubby Fish and Kultura a must visit on your list. The suite was very clean and the customer service was 5 ⭐️ We will definitely be back!

Place is as described and nice accommodations. It’s noisy when restaurant below is open but ear plugs fix that easily. I would stay here again as I was able to walk where I wanted and easy for drivers to locate as there is a restaurant beneath.

What a great location for this cute little spot. Everything was great besides not having a ton of storage. They have provided hooks and hangers which helps, but if you don’t like to see your luggage that might be an issue for you. I would recommend this to anyone thinking about booking. We didn’t try the restaurant underneath (Vern’s), but we really wished we had.
