    We stayed in the The Gullah Suite in downtown Charleston. The suite was beautiful and well maintained. There were mini split units in both bedrooms as well as the living room which was really nice because we all like different temperatures. There was an entrance right on King Street and also one in the back for parking. It was very convenient and close to everything that we needed. We walked around downtown every night. We had a great time and definitely want to stay again!

    First stay in Charleston and the location could not have been more perfect - in the heart of King St to do first trip look around with easy walking access to shops/restaurants. The access to parking was a true bonus. Place is as depicted but it was great to have full kitchen esp full size refrigerator. Bed was super comfortable and it was nice to also have substantial pillows of differing thickness to choose from. Easy communications with host and team. We would definitely stay here again and we would go to Darling Oyster again and again as well as Island Provision for morning coffee etc.

    We had an issue with the roof leaking into one of the bathrooms and it was not their fault because you can’t really do anything about nature because it rained heavily, but that was not the first time that issue would happen apparently

    The location of the property was lovely. very close to restaurants, downtown - exactly what we wanted. Check in was smooth and easy. Parking cost was revealed AFTER check in - 25 per day that was not disclosed in the listing. It was easy to communicate with the host via text and phone call and they were responsive with needs. Unfortunately, the apartment was not cleaned well and there were several issues while staying there - several broken pieces of furniture and cockroaches. The internal HVAC systems drip water and they attract cockroaches. One was seen while we were eating dinner in the living room and upon further inspection there was a dead cockroach behind the couch. The host treated this as if it was a normal thing- that somehow I as a visitor, should be accepting of roaches in the apartment because they are common in the area. The host did come to treat the next day but was not able to place us in another location while they did so. We would not have stayed after finding the cockroaches but because it was a holiday weekend we were unable to find alternative lodging with such short notice. No compensation or recompense was offered, nor any follow up from the host after the treatment was performed. Overall the stay was lovely, but we would not stay with this company again.

    Very nice place to stay, easy access to the French quarter by uber or you can walk and take in the sights. Local tours were fun and informative. The food was great with very friendly and helpful staff everywhere. Getting to know the history of this city was an enjoyable experience.

    The place is spacious. The furniture is worn and not comfortable but the beds were comfortable. There is only one window in the whole place so natural light was very sparse. It’s very convenient being on King St. The communication before during and after was excellent. If we needed anything, I felt like there was good customer service.

    Loved this apartment so much. Super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is perfect as you walk right down to King street to where everything was. It was safe enough to let my teenage kids go and come as they please without us going with them. They loved that freedom. The communication was excellent. If we had a question, it was answered very quickly. Would definitely stay here again and have sent the link to many friends.
