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!
