We enjoyed the location and ease to get around the neighborhood. The space was nice though a bit smaller than it seemed online. The management was helpful in holding our bags for awhile after checkout.

Great stay! Fantastic location with 2 off street parking spaces is unheard of in Charleston. Clean, comfortable and cozy as described. Communication was immediate and check in was super easy. Will definitely look to book again when we're back in town!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Craig! We’re so glad you had a great stay and that the location and off-street parking made your visit even more convenient—you're absolutely right, two parking spaces in Charleston is a rare find!

We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to host you again the next time you’re back in town!
Everything was new and clean! The property could not be any better as far as location. Our daughter is going to CofC in the fall and we will be booking this again in the future for sure!!

Thank you for your kind review, Rebecca! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our location convenient for exploring Charleston’s shopping and entertainment. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Property is a little smaller than appears in the photos, but worked perfect for my wife, 7yr old, and myself. Shower is tight so having younger children that need help bathing could be a challenge. Unit was a little humid, but we ran the bathroom fan combined with the a/c on a low setting and that helped quickly. Parking is off street, but larger vehicles may need extra maneuvering. I would definitely rent it again, the location is removed just far enough away from constant noise, but still close enough to walk to a lot of Charlestons sights. Excellent bagel shop right around the corner and MeSu restaurant was a highlight less than a block away.
The host was welcoming. The rooms were comfortable and things were well maintained. Very nice shower in spite of a small shower stall. It was in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, coffee, cultural interests

Thank you so much for your kind review, Bernadette! We’re so glad you felt welcomed and found the rooms comfortable and well maintained. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the shower as well—even with the cozy stall. And we couldn’t agree more about the neighborhood; being within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, coffee spots, and cultural attractions is one of our favorite things about the location. We truly appreciate you staying with us and would love to host you again on your next visit!
Parking is easy and convenient. They graciously allowed for an early check in and left us some wine as a gift. Very nice. Easy getting around Charleston. Property is near King St. It is a bit of a walk to get downtown, Took us about 30 min. Very much liked the outdoor seating area, wish it was nicer out to take full advantage of it.Water takes awhile to heat up...it will, be patient.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Gail! We’re so glad you enjoyed the convenient parking, early check-in, and the little welcome gift—we love adding those touches for our guests. It’s great to hear you also liked the outdoor seating area and found it easy to get around Charleston.
We appreciate your notes about the walk to downtown and the hot water timing—helpful tips for future guests, and we’ll continue looking for ways to improve the experience. We’d love to host you again, hopefully with even better weather so you can fully enjoy the outdoor space!
Lovely place, well appointed and great location. Easy walking to distance to all the things we wanted to do. Hosts were great, home was clean and the parking was awesome.

Thank you Jennifer! Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us.
Our stay here was great. Host was very communicative. The location was walkable to pretty much everywhere downtown and was a safe area. We would definitely book this apartment again! The included parking spot was a HUGE plus. We didnt move our car the entire time we were there.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Amanda! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great stay and found the location convenient and walkable—it’s one of our favorite things about the apartment too. We’re especially glad the included parking spot made your trip easier (not having to move the car is always a win!). It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
The location of the rental was perfect. Every thing was spotless. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. It was great having our own parking spots. Owners could not have been more accommodating! Only downside was the construction going on two blocks away with a pile driver operating eight hours a day. Upstairs renters were very loud but fortunately for only one night. I would still recommend this rental, the pros far outweigh the cons.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the location, the cleanliness, and especially the beds — we put a lot of thought into making sure our guests sleep well! Having dedicated parking in Charleston is such a bonus, and we're thrilled that came in handy for you.
We sincerely apologize for the noise disturbances during your stay — unfortunately the construction nearby is outside of our control, but we completely understand how disruptive that can be, and we're sorry it impacted your experience. We also appreciate your patience regarding the noise from upstairs — we take neighbor feedback seriously and will look into it.
Despite those hiccups, we're so grateful you would still recommend us and that the positives won the day! We hope to welcome you back to Charleston soon — fingers crossed the pile driver has moved on by then! 😄
We had a great time visiting Charleston and this was a great place to stay! It met all our needs and the best part was having a place to park our car. We will definitely stay here again.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review William! We re so glad that you and your family enjoyed your weekend with us! We hope to host you again!
My husband and I stayed here with our toddler and it was perfect. It was small, which worked for us, but I wouldn’t stay here with more than a couple and a young child. Everything was within a 30 minute walk, so the location was ideal for us. Two off-street parking spots were available right in front of the unit, though we didn’t need them. The hosts were incredibly responsive. The toilet clogged our first morning and they answered my message right away. It was fixed before we got back from sight seeing that afternoon.

Cute tiny little place perfect for a short stay when you want to get around town. Off street parking and proximity to King street is a boon. Owner was sweet and left a welcome basket too.
