Super location, apartment is just as described and pictured. Clear communication with staff. No issues. Walking distance to King Street. Would stay there again.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Charleston. The house was very clean and well kept, and a great size for our family (7 people). It was walking distance from King Street and many of the shops and restaurants, which was nice for day & night time activities. The hosts were extremely friendly and attentive, and did everything they could to make our stay great. And I’m glad to say they succeeded! Thanks for a great experience.
I came here with a group of 9 girls and we had a wonderful time. I was worried it would be smaller than the pictures made it look, but it was very spacious and we had plenty of room. The house and neighborhood are just beautiful, check in was simple, and the host was great at communicating with us. The only thing I would change is we definitely needed more toilet paper than why was provided, and wish there was a mirror in every bedroom. We needed them with 9 girls getting ready to go out every night lol. But overall, wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!
This was the best vrbo I have ever stayed in! The host stayed in communication with me even though we rented over 6 months prior to our stay. The house was clean and perfect for us! I would recommend all my friends going to Charleston to stay in this home!
My friends and I had a lovely time at this charming townhome. Our plans for our vacation got wonky at the last minute, but most of us were still able to make our stay. The roads were snowy and icy, so we weren’t able to do as many sightseeing adventures as we would’ve liked. All the more reason to come back again!
