Cute. Perfect little studio

We loved this location! Little shops, bars, and a fantastic restaurant right below the apartment. No issues, comfortable bed, and the kitchen had everything we needed for the week. The noise of the restaurant didn’t bother us at all, it closed relatively early and we were not disturbed. Also we took advantage of the club membership that came with the rental and used it to go to the gym/coffee shop.

Frustrating communication

My boyfriend and I were so excited to get to the location, and we had a very terrible time trying to figure out the parking situation. The instructions were unclear, and it took us 45 minutes of circling the property, connecting with the management company, and talking to the local restaurant connected to the property to understand the parking situation.

Nice place within walking of King

The place looked exactly like the photos. Very nice. The thermostat is not allowed to and won’t set below 70. The windows don’t have screens so we didn’t open them. There was a small floor fan that we used but we were so hot the entire stay! The outside temp was high of 70-72 daily. I like to sleep way cooler than 70. Pillows were terrible. Very flat and hard. Bed was firm. If you like that. You must have your own log in to watch any live tv on the ROKU smart tv like Hulu, YouTube, etc. That was frustrating and not mentioned in the description. Maybe focus less on all the restaurants and attractions and give more tv details. More hangers on the clothes rack would be nice. There were 8. For 2 adults and staying 4 nights, we had multiple things to hang. No pants hangers either. The 2 closets in the photos are not usable space. More for decoration. The area was an easy walk to King St. Having off street parking was nice.

4 day getaway

Overall, the location of this apartment is great and walkable to almost everything you want to do. It was nicely decorated and put together with all the streaming services available. The full kitchen was very convenient as we had breast milk to keep cold. Unfortunately we had trouble finding a working outlet. We tried 4 different outlets along the wall of the bed and none of them worked. Thankfully there were a few other outlets that we could utilize. The bed is extremely comfortable and the washer and dryer were handy to have. We had a little bit of trouble with the washer staying balanced but was able to still use it. Checkin and checkout were very simple and smooth. We were fortunate enough to eat at the restaurant below the apartment, Verns and it was the best food we had ever had. Definitely worth the price! Overall my husband and I enjoyed our trip and our time in this apartment.

What a great location for this cute little spot. Everything was great besides not having a ton of storage. They have provided hooks and hangers which helps, but if you don’t like to see your luggage that might be an issue for you. I would recommend this to anyone thinking about booking. We didn’t try the restaurant underneath (Vern’s), but we really wished we had.

Great location

Our stay was great! It was clean, well equipped for us, and very convenient to what we wanted to do. The space is in a neighborhood being revitalized. We stayed on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It is above a restaurant that is open Thursday through Monday. Judging by the noise on the days they were closed, I would think it can be a little noisy when the restaurant is open until 10pm. I’d stay here again but only on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Disappointed in Charleston.

The closets in the photos actually house a hot water heater and a furnace so there is zero closet space nor any dresser to put your clothes so you’re literally living out of your suitcase… but what really was terrible was on day two when we got back to the apartment we smelled gas - called the number and someone came out and agreed about the gas smell - called the fire department who came and detected gas so the gas company came and turned the gas off… there were no other properties to move us to (which I understand they were booked) but what was disappointing was the gas stove we had in the apartment was no longer usable and the groceries we purchased for the week were unable to be cooked (no stove) so we had to eat out each day… the concierge said he would call us the next day to update us on the gas situation and he didn’t. He also said he was going to give us a bit of a discount for not having gas (and our food going to waste) but he never reached out to discuss that either… just disappointing all around. Obnoxiously loud neighbor to boot! :(
