"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...

"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. ...
