The studio room was very clean and very spacious. It was very quiet as well. We heard absolutely nothing from other guests or the outside during our time there. The location was excellent to be able to walk thru the historic district!

Our room was very clean and spacious. The furniture look new and in perfect condition. Fireplace was a nice addition but since we traveled in the spring we did not use it. The location was perfect to explore the historic district as well. The rooms were totally soundproof, we heard nothing! Staff was very friendly. A large courtyard was a great place to relax outside when we wanted some down time.

Gorgeous room, clean and nicely decorated! Fireplace and balcony overlooking courtyard. Super comfortable bed. Gabby at reception was very responsive to my questions and requests. Centrally located, easy walks to attractions, no need for a car rental. Lyft and Ubers at the ready for any excursions and airport travel. Would rent again for sure, very impressed!

We had a beautiful well equipped room and sitting area. We loved its proximity to everything we wanted to do and see in downtown Charleston. The staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful in booking tours for us and giving us restaurant recommendations. We were greeted so warmly every time we left and returned. The room was such a pleasant place to return to with a comfortable seating area ( and fireplace which we did not need to use!)

Host was dishonest about the listing. I booked 2 double beds, but second bed was a pull out couch. Host also booked another party for my room and asked to me changed rooms halfway through the trip.

The unit is now part of a hotel managed by Hilton Resorts. This happened one week before our arrival. The front desk, concierge, and valet were incrediably professional and accommodating. The host actually called us directly on our first day there to ask if everything was ok - a nice approach. The unit is ideally located in the French Quarter - walking distance to the attractions, wonderful restaurants, and even a full size grocery store. We loved our stay.
