Property was welcoming! Beds super comfy, plenty of towels provided. Heat and A/C did the job. Enjoyed our stay very much.

The home was creatively decorated and filled with the needed essentials such as nice toiletries and a great washer and dryer. We liked the large balcony and convenience of walkability to several fantastic restaurants such as Chubby Fish, Vern’s, and Beautiful South. Our dog wished that there had been some near bye parks. Overall, I definitely recommend booking this downtown gem.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely historic apartment near King Street. It was very cold the week we were there but the Jessamine had everything we needed to stay cozy and comfortable. If it were warmer we would have definitely made use of the cute balcony space. We loved being able to walk to shops and restaurants.

Excellent location - walkable to many experiences. Hosts provided excellent dining recommendations ahead of our visit, many of which were just a block away. Easy and secure access to the apartment.

The apartment itself was very cute and exactly what we needed for our group. The location was a little noisy at night with people leaving the bars and being loud in the streets at all hours of the night, and having single pane windows. The place was dusty and could use a top to bottom. Very close to King Street.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re pleased that the apartment met your group’s needs and that the location near King Street was convenient. While some city noise is unavoidable in downtown Charleston, the walkable location is a favorite among our guests. We apologize for the dust and have addressed this with our professional housekeeping team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Thanks again!

Very fun stay!

Such a cute, cute, cute downtown apartment. All 3 bedrooms had a king and were comfy. We were in easy walking distance to shops and restaurants and then loved sitting on the deck in the mornings and late evenings. Quiet at night, but a busy street in the daytime. Would have liked better window shades for privacy as the next door apartments were within feet and could see in with the current window treatments

Great location to upper King St.

Great area with lots all around. Very comfortable beds! Only problem was parking. I understand it's hard to control. But 9 out of 10 times someone was in our assigned spot. I did not take the time to report the annoyance beyond the first night as we were busy enjoying ourselves. Thankfully street parking was mostly available right outside the unit.

stay mid-July 2024

We were pleased with the property. No bad surprises. In the July heat, the AC was able to keep it nice and cool inside. The bedrooms and beds were comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were a little cramped but overall I have no complaints and would stay again. It was also very nice and convenient to be so close to a convenience store for drinks/snacks/toiletries. I forgot to pack dental floss and it was a 15-foot walk to get some. Please be aware though that there is only 1 parking spot. The nearest public parking is about two and a half blocks away on King Street - about .3 mile walk.
