Fantastic location and property. Visiting our daughter at College of Charleston and we’re very happy with this stay. Place was just as advertised - clean, quiet, and located in the heart of King Street. We dined close by and lived the parking so close by for the weekend. Linen and towels all clean and soft. Would stay again!!
This suite was perfect and had everything we needed. Very clean! The host was amazing and answered all questions. Great communication! We could walk everywhere.

Great location. Easy walk to many sites, restaurants, etc. Communication with manager was timely and easy. HVAC units were a bit fussy and no windows/natural light in bedrooms were the only negatives.

Thank you for your feedback Bob! We're so glad you enjoyed the location and found it easy to explore the area on foot. We also appreciate your kind words about our communication—it's great to hear that made your stay smoother. We understand your notes about the HVAC and the lack of natural light in the bedrooms; we'll be sure to look into the HVAC concerns and continue to be transparent in our listing about the layout. Thanks again for staying with us! Blue Skies, Team Duvet
Location was fantastic. Communication was great. Only negatives were both beds were soft and older. There were no box springs and the slightest movement was loud and shifted the entire mattress. They do warn you that the A/C units turn on sporadically to regulate the humidity. Be warned that they are not quiet when they turn on and they will come on multiple times in the middle of the night. We never woke up to the sounds from King street, but we did wake up suddenly to the loud sounds coming from the units in the wall.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us Ally. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location and found our communication helpful throughout your stay. We truly appreciate your feedback about the beds and the A/C units. We’re sorry to hear they affected your comfort. Your comments are very helpful, and we’ll be reviewing both the bedding setup and the humidity-control systems to see where improvements can be made for a quieter, more comfortable stay.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future with an even better experience. Blue Skies, Team Duvet
Convenient location. Close to shops and food but loud and had a terrible chemical cleaner smell that couldnt be airedout. The AC unit in front bedroom woke us up 4x making a very loud noise throughout the night we atayed.
