Studio in the heart of Charleston
Fantastic location that is walkable to everything. Entire studio was comfortable and clean. Remember this is a historical place in downtown, so if you are sensitive to light or sound at nighttime, that might be an issue until curfew/quiet hours. Overall, I would totally recommend for the full Charleston experience.

Wouldn’t change a thing
The most perfectly located apartment in beautiful Charleston. Located in a beautifully restored historic building, the space is perfect, full of natural light and character. The apartment is located above a Monday - Friday coffee shop and literally in the middle of everything there is to see, so, eat and drink. We never once used transportation. The owner was gracious and kind and communicated with us well. We will stay here every opportunity we get.
