Location was awesome. The place had a historic charm to it. Very spacious and the two king suites, each with private full bathrooms was a game-changer. And the reserved private parking spot was super useful. Host is very responsive and accommodating!

What a gem! This very quaint and comfortable apartment was a perfect spot to stay for a long weekend to enjoy all that Charleston has to offer. The apartment was well equipped and the bedroom/bathroom were spacious and the beds super comfy. The neighborhood is charming and within easy access of King Street and historic downtown Charleston. Will definitely be back!

The host was very responsive. There were a few items missing from the property that were in the listing. He had them delivered the next day. There was an issue with the washer when we got there and he had already arranged to have it looked at. The biggest issue we had was the slant in the ceiling of the upstairs bedroom. It was pretty low and difficult for anyone much over 5’ to stand up straight. It might be helpful to list dimensions in the listing. Unit was clean and had a great porch that we used each night. The water was hot but not much water pressure. It was in a good location for king st and other activities. There was some street noise at night but once the noise machines were delivered that helped. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
