I can't say enough good on our experience with our stay here! From the cleanliness to the communication, our stay was amazing and helped us to enjoy Charleston!
We enjoyed staying at this historic home since it has been beautifully renovated. It was very spacious and comfortable. There are, however, very steep, narrow and uneven stairs up to the second floor apartment which make it inaccessible for anyone with mobility limitations. Fortunately, this was not a problem for us or our pets. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful.
The road was closed on arrival (construction during the week), and the steel plates to make the road passable over the weekend meant every car that passed (pretty continuous) produced a BANG BANGâŠBANG BANGâŠetc.Space was not especially clean â underwear and socks in one bathroom, belt on the floor in a bedroom, dirt under every carpet, and stained couch.Plenty of clean towels, though, which was appreciated.We love Charleston and this neighborhood, but this was a disappointment.
This apartment is perfectly located about half a block from King Street and walking distance to great bars, restaurants and shopping. It was convenient, the beds were comfortable and it was very clean. Based on the listing we expected it to be more accommodating of a larger groupâthe wide/fish eye lens made the rooms in the pictures appear much more spacious. While it can sleep 6, there wasnât a single room where the 6 of us could comfortably sit and talk (living room had seating for 4). Itâs clearly a very historic home, with lots of character and charmâŠbut with this came soft/spongy floorboards (especially on the outdoor porch and stairs), crooked doorways (pocket doors that slammed shut from gravity because they werenât straight/were slanting downward), and sloping floors inside. Also, we were not made aware that there was MASSIVE construction surround the buildingâhuge cranes and machines were operating all day, early mornings and even over the weekend. They werenât too loud but it was a major eye sore and made driving and parking challenging. Overall a great location and we had a nice stay.
Check in was quick and easy. Any issues were quickly resolved by property manager. My main complaint was about parking. I had 6 adults and 3 BRs. Nowhere did it state I had 1 parking spot. I cannot think of how 6 adults would be arriving in 1 vehicle. I checked the page multiple times about parking and all that was stated was that there was free parking onsite. Just prior to check-in, I received an email stating there was 1 spot and no alternatives or any information. Secondly, the property was hot. It was 79 degrees inside when we checked in. We ran the AC continually and it never got below 74 degrees. If it had not been for the fans, we wouldn't have been able to tolerate it. The property was charming and the beds/linens were great! The kitchen was stocked well. The location to shopping was amazing. I would definitely stay there again, but only if I had one vehicle. For the price and size of the unit, I shouldn't have to pay for off-site parking.
