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.

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.

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!
