Best location ever!

Great location for everything- just blocks from great restaurants, bars, parks and tourist attractions. Walking distance to just about everything you'll need to see or do. Accommodations were perfect. Second floor overlooking the courtyard with fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bed & bedding, cozy living room and charming decor. I would definitely recommend this location for a stay in beautiful Charleston.

Incredible location

Amazing location, well apportioned lodging. Only criticism is it wasn’t clear to me from the listing that the one bathroom is up the circular staircase which was awkward but would likely still return as long as that wouldn’t be an issue for someone in our party

Great Location

Great location - able to walk to most things in city. Nice place….comfortable, clean and spacious with high ceilings. Great communication with host (very quick responses to questions I had) and had a parking spot included which is a big plus in the city. Being an owned unit within a hotel gave you access to an onsite bar/restaurant and a front desk staff to help answer questions. Overall would stay here again……(I am a frequent visitor to Charleston to visit family)

Excellent location. Host was responsive to questions. Only word of caution is tight spiral stairs to bedroom and only bath for those with mobility issues. Also mention to bring own toiletries as only soap available. Location outweighed all.

Cute and cozy in the heart of Charleston. We really enjoyed our stay and could see ourselves staying here again. Check in and out was super easy. The owner provided perfect instructions that made finding the unit and the parking garage super easy. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was the perfect place for us to get away for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you again allowing us to stay.

Spacious with great location

Very well appointed and spacious accommodations with a real leather couch. The kitchen was modern and contained all necessary items for a gourmet meal. The accommodations are within walking distance to hundreds of restaurants, bars, parks and other attractions. Parking is a little janky, but the provided garage pass is only a couple blocks away. Much better than no place to park at all. The walls can seem a little thin at times.

Great location

This condo is very close to all the great stuff in Charleston. It is a bit dated re interior decor and could use some fresh paint/clean up. The only negative is that there is virtually no sound insulation. When noisy guests come down the hall at 2am you can hear every word. And when they crank up the stereo/tv next door same deal. Still it's very close to all the good stuff and it has free parking.

Nice location

Location within walking distance to all activities. Host responsive and very attentive to help with internet crisis Unfortunately, we had no Wi-Fi access for 2 days. The loft is more amenable for 2 people vs 4 due to sleeping situation. pullout sofa was worn down and most of the furniture was dated and uncomfortable. The bed in upstairs loft was very comfortable. This host is not affiliated with the Lodge Valley Inn. Consequently the staff was less than accommodating and could generally not answer questions about the loft itself or allow us to enter into the most convenient entrance to the loft as they would not allow us a key fob. They actually never could pull us up in there system despite the fact the loft was clearly within their campus. The dishwasher was broken and the freezer seemed to leak water into refrigerator everyday several lamps where not working and the lighting in general was poor

Host promptly responded to questions prior to stay. The place was quaint, very clean and check-in with code was easy. As noted in description, bedroom and bath is on the upper level. Really appreciated a paid parking space as parking nearby was limited and expensive. It was a prime location and we could walk most everywhere we wanted to go. Would stay there again.

We loved our stay. The decor is lovely. We had tons of space to really spread out. There were plenty of towels, and the kitchen was well equipped. There was a shared laundry room with machines that would both wash and dry your laundry. No switching machines to dry. The property has a beautiful courtyard. The location is excellent, with loads of restaurants and sights in easy walking distance.
