Perfect location!!

I can’t say enough good things about this property! The location, accommodations, host friendliness, etc was above and beyond. The VRBO itself was beautiful, clean, had a large porch, and was in the perfect location. It was right near everything without being too close and have to deal with crowds and noise at night. We all agreed that when we come back to Charleston, we will absolutely be staying here again, as well as recommending it to all of our family and friends!!

Excellent property in the best location we could ask for. Tons of restaurants, art galleries, coffee shops and shopping within blocks. The house itself was clean, well laid out and had everything we needed. We’ve stayed on upper King Street before but we enjoyed this location much better. Property management was great too.

Great VRBO

This property was outstanding. The location is perfect and the coffee shop below is an added plus. The property was clean and exactly as depicted in the listing. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen appeared to be stocked with all of the essentials to prepare a meal. Washer and dryer worked effortlessly. Communication with the owners was easy and efficient. Will be staying here again.

Convenient location

The location is great you can walk to everything in downtown Charleston. The home was very clean, however the smell of cleaning products was extremely strong upon arrival. The restaurant downstairs has good food and great coffee. You can hear some restaurant noise, but they were kind enough to turn their music off.

A fabulous surprise!

This apartment exceeded our expectations! So many VRBO properties don't measure up to their listing descriptions. This property is the perfect place to stay. Spotless, quiet (even when the bakery is open) and close to everything you want to see in Charleston. The property management team answered any questions we had within minutes (literally). They were amazing and so was our trip! We will definitely be back!
