10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (5)
"This apartment is a good fit for Charleston: quaint but updated with modern necessities. In addition to cleaning and nicely decorating, the management tends to details such as umbrellas next to the door, snacks and coffee in the kitchen, and toiletries in the bathrooms. The wifi was snappy, and we were able to connect the smart tv to our subscribed apps. The kitchen was fully outfitted for cooking, although we used it only for breakfasts. The location was just right. We walked easily to...

It turned out we were in a great area with lots of delicious dining options and a short walk from King Street which is the Main Street in Charleston. We walked everywhere. We would totally recommend and would come back if we visit Charleston again. "

"We arrived at the property in the early evening and after a long day of travel some of our party wanted nothing more than a good bath/shower. However much to our surprise there was no hot water! As it was after business hours the phone number we were given for contact just went to voicemail. The next morning we had the management company send over Maintenance and after a brief inspection he said that the internal breaker on the water heater had tripped and he had reset it and said it should be...

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (40)
"This condo was super clean, comfortable and cute. I loved having the option of a walk on Follly Beach so close in the mornings, then could have short drive into Charleston during the day or evening to do the touristy things or eat. The view of the marshes and listening to the birds off balcony after sunrise was peaceful too. Would stay again for sure."

Live Music on Tuesday night that went till well after 11 pm. Fortunately the house and location made up for a pretty loud neighbor."

"While in Mount Pleasant, SC for a wedding, we decided to spend 2 nights ahead of time in downtown Charleston. I don’t remember how exactly I settled upon the Indigo Inn but I’m thinking it was based on overall pricing, location and reviews. The Indigo Inn is a very quaint, bed & breakfast like hotel. There are 3 floors of rooms, starting on the ground, that surround an atrium with patio seating and plants/trees. We had a queen room on the 2nd floor near the elevator, not atrium viewing. ...

5/5 Excellent
"The staff went above and beyond when I arrived and my friend was having a medical emergency. The manager Caitlyn got a wheelchair, got me situated and got aid for my friend. She checked on me the rest of time I was there and her and her team even sent me chocolate covered strawberries to make me feel better! Amazing management team. The staff is top notch and I will never stay anywhere else after seeing how they handled this medical emergency. "
