First time VRBO user

The stay was great! The place was warm and welcoming as soon as we got there. Initially, someone was parked in our spot and the shower wouldn’t get warm, but I communicated with the property manager over text and both issues were quickly resolved with quick communication on their part. Loved being right off of King Street and having the cute little porch to chill out on in the mornings with coffee and a good book. The unit is on the lower level and so we could hear the people above, but it wasn’t really an issue for us, but it may be for light sleepers.

Weekend in Charelston

Communication with property company was excellent! Bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the noise machine in the bedroom. Stocked kitchen although we didn’t use too much of it. Nice that they provided coffee pods for us and also a bottle of wine. We appreciated that.

Cute condo in prime location!

This condo was exactly what we needed for a weekend girls trip. The space was quaint and had everything you could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable and they even greeted us with a bottle of wine - how sweet! Location was walkable to shops, bars and restaurants. Only con was that it was pretty loud at night due to street traffic and people walking by but they equipped the room with a noise machine which was helpful. I’d definitely recommend!

Small but Doable

The apartment worked fine for the three of us. Sisters and a daughter who are very comfortable around each other. The owner is very up front about what you are getting. The location is close to downtown, although we never walked, it was way too hot (we were there in June). There are two bedrooms and one closet in the larger bedroom, the main room has a love seat and a chair, no coffee table. The floors are cobblestone so bring a pair of flip flops to wear around the house when you get out of bed. It would have helped if we had hooks to hang things, there were lots of spaces where these could be added. The only issue we ran into was there were a group of women staying upstairs. When they walked around, you could easily hear their footsteps and talking. Before the girls got there, there was a family upstairs and we didn't hear anything. You just might ask if the upstairs is rented. I don't know if I would stay here again, I might look for a place with a few more amenities, but the price was right and you get what you pay for.

Ok but needs a lot of TLC

First of all, the location is great. Close the restaurants and shops. It has 2 parking spots assigned to the unit but if your car is bigger than a midsize sedan or small SUV don't bother. Super tight and hard to get in and out. The unit is super small. The bathroom sink is so small when you wash your face you get water all over the floor. Used the kitchen sink after first time. The furniture is terrible, dresser that the drawers are hard to open and close and the knobs have really long screws inside that could snag your clothes if you are not careful. The rest furniture looks like garage sale cast offs. No mirror in the main bedroom?? Only the bathroom mirror and 1 hanging on the 2nd bedroom door. The bathroom shower had mold on the walls, yuck!! Very loud as well. Sounds like elephants are walking around upstairs and you can hear every person who walks by outside. No cable, only a roku, If you have not used one before there are no instructions. Really too bad because it could be super cute with a little effort and TLC.

Great location, number of other unfortunates.

If all you're looking for is a great location where you can easily access King Street shops and restaurants, this is a good option. We stayed here for a wedding at the William Aiken house, and it was only a 5-8 minute walk, which was great for us. Everything else unfortunately was not very enjoyable. There is not room for two cars in the designated parking area, no matter how you try and maneuver the cars. The bathroom is tinier than I anticipated (was not able to blow dry/style hair in the bathroom). We only had two people staying here, and we felt a bit crowded. The positive is that the master bedroom is quite big and has a huge bed - (but unfortunately the bed squeaks with any movement; sounds like the headboard needs to be tightened). We also had an issue where the smoke alarm began beeping in the middle of the night, and couldn't find any batteries to replace it with, so it just beeped the entire night (from about 2AM until we decided to leave). We also had an issue where the maintenance man for the building parked in our spot(s), so we had to find street parking on a busy Friday - which was less than ideal, especially since we had things to carry. If you have smaller kids (or much older guests), or are walking in heels, keep in mind that the cobblestone floor is rough and uneven (its a cool design feature, but after reading another review saying the same thing, I packed padded slippers). Overall, great location for us, but I wouldn't stay here again.
