Great location

The property had easy access to everything within 10-20 minutes depending where you wanted to go. A lot of great restaurants all within walking distance. Communication with the owners was great. We didn’t have sheets for the pullout couch and they had someone drop them off immediately for us. Full kitchen and all towels. Only downfall was We did have to buy TP as only 2 rolls were there and you can hear everything outside. There isn’t a noise barrier to the sheet since it’s an older building so as long as you don’t mind it’s great. Holy bagel is right below and had some great options for food

Girls Trip with my daugters

Cutely decorated, great location, and very clean. Everything was ideal for our trip. I had read comments that it was loud, but you're in the city, so know what you're getting into. It's also like 2 blocks off King Street and very convenient. We walked to Jeni's ice cream every evening after dinner! You can't use the parking spot on Sunday since it's a church lot, which was unexpected. I would also tell the property managers to get the correct coffee filters for the coffee machine...there were always grounds in my coffee until I finally decided to use a paper towel. All in all a great trip, thank you.

Great location, very clean but noisy.

Great location close to King Street, very clean and well maintained property. Bagel bakery and coffee shop is downstairs. While it was nice to grab fresh bagels in the morning, we did not get much rest because of it. We were woken at 4am each morning from constant door slamming. Bakery workers were going in and out of the freezer every few minutes slamming doors each time. The freezer is extended into the courtyard which is below the bedroom. Then at 7 am customers started to come in and the front door slamed each time. Wish we knew that before we booked this place.

Very Clean & Great Location

We arrived in town just before the first snowstorm in the last several years. The apartment was in a great location in the historic district and we enjoyed our 3 day stay. It was very comfortable, except for the bed in the inside bedroom.

Perfect Downtown Charleston Location!

The apartment on the second floor is a perfect location to downtown. It is easily accessible and has parking across the street. We loved the bagel shop next door and walked to so many places that week. We would definitely stay there again.

Our charleston stay

My daughter and i had a wonderful time at this little gem. Pictures were exact as in person. We felt really safe in the neighborhood when walking around. The apartment was very clean and we have nothing bad to say. The communication with owner was always very quick. Would recommend this spot for another stay in Charleston.

Ok for what it is

Great location Good parking Updated modern apartment Parts of floor coming up Pullout couch mattress is a twin and very uncomfortable. They brought an air mattress. The VRBO listing has it as 2 double beds but in the write up on the bottom it said 2 twin beds which it was The noise level with the bagel store sucks. Starting at approx 5am you hear door banging loud music and the heat from kitchen really heats up back bedroom The toilet in the bathroom is very low like a kindergarten toilet The rooms are very tiny It’s on a busy street so honking and road noise happens often Closet door in bedroom doesn’t easily stay closed

Was super pleased with the cleanliness and amenities!!! Host was always available for communication. The pdf book of activities and sightseeing was awesome!!! Also the bottle of wine...Woot! The neighborhood is safe and close to many things in walking distance. Parking was easy. All in all it was a comfortable and pleasing stay. Thank You! I must mention that it is noisy from 6am until 1 from a very busy bagel shop below the unit...this is the only downfall.

Charming location

The property was exactly what we needed. Great location where everything was either a short walk or drive away. Our bagel loving kids were excited to hear that we would be staying above a bagel shop. Not bothered by the street noise at all as that is to be expected when you’re staying in the city. Check-in and check-out went seamlessly. Not only would we stay there again, but we’ll be telling all our friends and family as well.

Close to Historic District!

The location was convenient to downtown. The stairs to upper level were difficult with luggage. There was early morning noise from coffee shop below and street noise. However, it was comfortable and well stocked. Very easy checkout.

Perfect home base

This was a perfect way to start and end each day in Charleston. Location—directly above an incredible bagel shop with great coffee! Yes, the bagel shop’s door is noisy, and in fact all the noises Charleston has to offer are easily heard from inside the apartment—historic buildings can be like that. The noise wasn’t a problem for us because we use noise makers to sleep anyway. They are provided for you by the condo as well! The beds were comfy enough, not the greatest, but definitely not the worst. Clean linens, towels, and kitchen tools. It’s a nice little apartment with two layers of security…a street side keypad lock, and an upstairs keypad lock. We felt very secure. If I was going to visit Charleston again, I’d make this my home base again and again. Perfect dedicated parking spot across the street in the church parking lot.

Comfortable beds - great towels - nice clean space.

There is a bagel shop below, and when their door closes as customers come and go, the whole building shakes. We didn't hear it the first day because they were closed that day. We believe a simple adjustment on the door hinge would take care of this issue. Other than this the place was great. I appreciate the way it was designed and could tell some thought and expense had gone into the design. Thank you!
