We spent three nights in this lovely condo. It was tastefully furnished and stocked with helpful amenities. The parking space was a bit tight for our mid-sized SUV and the upstairs neighbors seemed to be professional cloggers working the early shift, but other than that it was a perfect option for a fun getaway for a couple.

Charm In Charleston
Your property is lovely. I would suggest that rugs be put on the floor in the unit above the bedroom from unit A. We were awakened both nights by people in heavy shoes walking around (12:30-1:30 AM); something heavy was dropped several times as well. Also, please be aware that the South Carolina roaches are present in the kitchen. This is a nasty thing to deal with. We enjoyed the walkable location and having off street parking, once the impolite people moved their car from our space an hour after we arrived.

Lovely old apartment in a great location
Fantastic location just around the corner from King Street. The property, although old was tastefully decorated with modern appliances and a very comfortable bed. A couple of
minor issues with WiFi and our inability to work the blinds were solved quickly, but would have been helpful to have some written instructions somewhere.
Overall a great place to base yourself when visiting Charleston. Would definitely stay again if we visit again as a couple.
