Very fun stay!

Such a cute, cute, cute downtown apartment. All 3 bedrooms had a king and were comfy. We were in easy walking distance to shops and restaurants and then loved sitting on the deck in the mornings and late evenings. Quiet at night, but a busy street in the daytime. Would have liked better window shades for privacy as the next door apartments were within feet and could see in with the current window treatments

Family Getaway

Able to walk anywhere we wanted. Comfortably accommodated a family of 6 adults. Very clean and beds were very comfortable. It is up a flight of stairs so that would be my only hesitation if stairs are an issue for you. Our family loved it and would definitely return. Host is very responsive

Great location to upper King St.

Great area with lots all around. Very comfortable beds! Only problem was parking. I understand it's hard to control. But 9 out of 10 times someone was in our assigned spot. I did not take the time to report the annoyance beyond the first night as we were busy enjoying ourselves. Thankfully street parking was mostly available right outside the unit.

stay mid-July 2024

We were pleased with the property. No bad surprises. In the July heat, the AC was able to keep it nice and cool inside. The bedrooms and beds were comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were a little cramped but overall I have no complaints and would stay again. It was also very nice and convenient to be so close to a convenience store for drinks/snacks/toiletries. I forgot to pack dental floss and it was a 15-foot walk to get some. Please be aware though that there is only 1 parking spot. The nearest public parking is about two and a half blocks away on King Street - about .3 mile walk.

Perfect spot of a Charleston Girl’s Trip

This property is very cute and perfect for a group of friends. We really appreciated the king sized beds. The beds were very comfortable and the home was clean! We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels provided. The little patio was fun to sit on and visit. The living room had plenty of seating for our group of 7 to sit and visit. The bathrooms are small and a little tight but clean and functional. Be aware that there is a small restaurant very close and it is quite loud before midnight. It’s an older home with older windows so there is a good amount of noise pollution but it honestly was ok with the use of a noise machine which was provided in all the rooms. We had several minor issues during our stay. The host was very responsive and helpful. At one point a maintenance issue came up and they had someone out quickly and resolved everything in a very satisfactory way. They also accommodated us with a later check out which was appreciated. The location was great. We walked most places. Very close to north King Street for shopping and food.

Excellent location-bring a lamp!

6 women stayed and slept very comfortably in this location. The location is so close to tons of restaurants, bars, breakfast places etc! Our main complaint is that the units living room is very dark, and the floors dusty (even in low light). One towel was not clean and one bathroom had very slow drains. The kitchen was clean and well appointed. The listing also should be posted as a second floor unit- it is described as such but it was not apparent from the photos and listing title. The stairs are a full flight and steep. Parking was a spot best suited for small cars and suvs- the neighboring spot had a full size suv and that made maneuvering around their parking spot more difficult..

Great Location

I liked that we were walking distance from the downtown area. Communication with the owner/manager was excellent. Any I questioned I had they answered within 5 minutes. The only thing lacking was a dining table.
