Great Stay in Mt. Pleasant!
This apartment was perfect for us. It was comfortable, well-equipped, nicely appointed, spotlessly clean, and conveniently located in a lovely neighborhood. Everything was new and fresh. Instructions for check-in, check-out, and house rules were clear and easy to follow. We hope to stay there again on our next visit to Mt. Pleasant.
