Great place great location! Just had a little confusion at check-in as to how to get into the building but would definitely stay again very clean and responsive.
We have stayed in Charleston 8-10 times and this is the best location we've stayed in by far. In the middle of all the action and the condo had everything we needed. Thanks for the stay!

Room clean and cool. Close to everything. Its very walkable. The only problem we had was with other guests. They had no respect for anyone else that might be staying in other suites. The walls are thin,doors slam shut and noise carries.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in
Location is great, rental is not
Location is wonderful, but the rental itself was not great. It is clearly a mini-hotel, yet you have to take out the trash and strip the bedding yourself on checkout. Listing doesn’t mention that you’ll have to buy parking in order to access the rental. Beds were poor quality (cheap mattress and frame) although the bedding was fine. Access was easy… once you figured it out. Instructions for access and parking were poor. One of our party had an allergic reaction to something in the rental on both nights we stayed. Would not stay again, nor would I recommend it to friends.
