It was way better and more spacious than the listing /photos show. Our family of 5 loved staying here. Parking was so easy and removed the stress of finding a place to park. We loved the interior rooms because they were really dark at night, but also had great light for when we were getting ready to go out. Super comfy beds!

The Ashley Suite was exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. Very comfortable at an unbeatable location. Walking distance to everything and the vintage elevator added to the charm. We are moving right around the corner the end of this month or we would definitely stay there again.

The apartment is well kept and clean. The location is great. The listing doesn’t say that the two rooms have no windows (they are internal and without any windows or natural light). Also you can hear all the noose from adjacent rooms.

This unit is in an amazing location!! the window in the living area faces king street right across from Little Hot Biscuit, right next door to a great steakhouse and rooftop bar, and just about a block from one of the best rated restaurants in town. The apartment is one of several over Sewing Down South and its truly a little slice of living in Charleston. There are 2 doors one off King street and one in the back if you have a car. There is a daily charge for parking your car (parking everywhere is a premium) they are both controlled by numerical keypads, as well as one entering the top where all the units are. We felt very safe and secure, the units seem well insulated we were never bothered with noise from the street at all, they supply all the usual towels, tp, soap etc but there seems to be an abundance of it in this unit. The bedrooms both have queen beds and one bedroom has attached bathroom and the other is just a couple of steps from the second bedroom, but its arranged nicely so that you aren't disturbing each other if you are napping or coming and going at different times. We had four adults and we were comfortable, it may get a little crowded with more however. A really neat little touch is the elevator its an old refurbished one that you have to pull the grate on to close to get it to work and kind of a cool novelty that we enjoyed, although we just mainly walked up and down the couple of flights of steps. We def will stay here again!!!

With King Street views, nearby iconic spots like Little Hot Biscuit, fantastic restaurants, and great nightlife, it sounds like you got to experience the best of what the area has to offer. We’re glad the layout and amenities worked well for your group and that the keypads and setup provided a sense of safety and convenience. It’s great to know you appreciated the abundance of supplies and the charming touch of the refurbished elevator—what a unique feature! Thank you for highlighting all the thoughtful details, and we’re so excited that you plan to stay with us again. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more Charleston adventures!
