Great location for staying near downstown, yet away from the main hustle and bustle of the main shopping areas. A nice quiet small garden area to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening. Central location for driving out to beaches and exploring areas away from downtown,

Stay at 75 Spring Street Apt
Very outdated. Not necessary heating conditions for winter. No heating at the bathroom nor the bedroom. Just a little floor portable heater (very little!!!). Small sofa and very uncomfortable (too hard). Entrance door very old and wood around lock not secured. No sun blackout shades. No door for the bethroom. There is a restaurant next door which make the apartment very noisy at nights (this information is not on the online listing). Will not stay here ever in the future.

Charming, Historic & Quaint Charleston Unit For 2
Very pleased with this stay! Check in & out could not have been easier, which was great. Location is great considering the affordable rate. We were able to walk everywhere downtown with just nice 10-25 minute strolls down King— the Charleston experience! Place was clean and perfect for our little getaway weekend. More character in a home unit like this than some of the hotels in my opinion. Great experience with the host company and they provided a guest guide to Charleston with recommendations.

Perfect Location
This apartment was perfectly sized for my husband and I. We were able to walk to 90% of our destinations and enjoyed being that close to restaurants and and stores. The apartment was clean and well put together (although the couch was super uncomfortable but understand limits with spacing). We had an issue with cable and management was great. They answered my text immediately and sent someone over to try and problem solve. I will definitely stay at another Stay Duvet property!

Great location
Great location. Place is small but that’s okay. Toaster that does four pieces of bread at once was unnecessary and took up too much counter space.
Fridge door opens to the wall. That’s an easy fix and should be done.
They left coffee but no coffee filters or sugar/creamer packets.
I’ve stayed with stay duvet twice and both times check in has been a hassle and I’ve had to call the r1-800 number to get in.
It’s obvious that the person doing the set up has not stayed there.

Good, but some disappointment
First off, the good—
Cute, cozy, quaint etc. This place isn’t large or fancy, but it is charming. Off street parking is convenient. Nice entrance off a lovely fenced garden.
Inside, it’s small, but perfect for two people. Comfortable queen bed, perfect little living room. The small kitchen is stocked with enough dishes and utensils for all you need to do. Plenty of space for clothes, food, toiletries, etc.
Communication with owners and concierge service was friendly and timely.
It’s in a nice location, just a few blocks from King St. Plenty of great restaurants and bars within walking distance, and a fairly short drive to the French Quarter, beaches, and shopping.
Now the disappointment—
Probably just bad timing, but the fridge didn’t work. Our food wasn’t nearly cool enough overnight, so we had to put our food back in our cooler. Owners apparently were aware, as a new fridge was coming near the end of our stay. The concierge service brought us a mini fridge, but it just took up more already limited space. We were told we would receive a convenience credit for the trouble, but I haven’t seen anything after a week.
The toilet was wobbly, as the bolts were corroded. We let them know, but it worked just fine, so no need to fix it for us. I assume they’ve taken care of it since.
The place really needs a new paint job. There was a spot over the shower where there must have been a water leak. There was some bubbling paint and water stains, and a spot that had been spackled, but not sanded or painted. Some of the trim was a little dingy, especially around door frames. Corners of the bathroom needed a good deep cleaning.
Additionally, their was a lot of plant and tree debris on the back patio and furniture. It was beautiful, but messy. As we were packing up to leave on a Wednesday, a lawn crew was there cleaning up.
The small things on their own didn’t bother me much, but as the stay went on, they started to build up. I was pretty frustrated on the last night when we saw a large roach scurry from the bathroom and under the fridge. Hard to blame the owners for a bug in South Carolina, but it was just another thing.
After the roach sighting, we sent one last message about ever to the owners, and they have yet to respond.
Overall, we were happy there. I’ll recommend it for a great place to stay, but I’d want confirmation that some of these issues have been dealt with.

Close enough to downtown, but far enough to be outside any excessive noise of the lounges/clubs.
It is a nice, quaint, little place to spend your nights and relax between activities. Missing some attention to detail, but the owners are responsive to concerns, and they attempt to make things right.
