Wonderful long weekend

Beautifully renovated basement apartment. The extra touches like a Brita pitcher full of cool water in the fridge and coffee grounds, sugars, and creamers ready for the morning were much appreciated! Location is perfect - we walked more often than ubering, but ubers found us easily. Highly recommend.

Quaint Rental in Perfect Location

Rental is in the downstairs of a historic Charleston home that has been renovated and has lots of charm. It is in a perfect location back off the street which was very quiet. In walking distance to King Street and easy access to the free bus that travels to the Marketplace area. Lots of wonderful shops and restaurants close by.

Last trip before college

We were very pleased with the property and the area it was in. We had a couple of items, like an alarm that started going off at 5am, but the response to fix it was swift. and not knowing that one shower was opposite of normal for hot and cold water but overall it was a pleasant place to stay and the staff was sonderful and helpful.
