Comfortable place love the home

This location was perfect for our family
This location was perfect for our family. Walkable to lots of good food and a quick drive to get anywhere we wanted to go around town. The home was beautiful and clean. We loved having coffee on the porch each morning.
This is the second time I have stayed at the fire tower and it is really a wonderful location
This is the second time I have stayed at the fire tower and it is really a wonderful location!!!!! It’s so clean and quiet and just all around lovely. We will continue to use this on our trips to Charleston.
Good location, close to King St
Good location, close to King St. Clean apartment. Very comfortable bed and food AC. Stairs up to the place are steep and plentiful, and getting luggage up them was not easy. It is advertised as a 2nd floor place, so I was warned, but be advised.
Great location in the city
Great location in the city. Very quiet and comfortable.
The place isn’t an amazing area and so walkable to great restaurants
The place isn’t an amazing area and so walkable to great restaurants, shops and basically anywhere you want to get to. It’s in a prime location to get on and off the major interstates as well for ease of getting to the beaches if you’re planning on hanging out there a lot, the living room furniture is not super comfortable and if you are expecting a pristine, clean location, please remember that this is an old building and they’re still room for some updates, fixes that could be made that would make it even better, but with it being dog friendly, we understand and it checks all the boxes.
This was a lovely place to stay place to stay
This was a lovely place to stay place to stay. The bedrooms were very large with plenty of clean storage space. It was in the high 90s when we were there and the air-conditioning worked perfectly. It had sort of a Zen feeling with minimalistic decor and a light misty blue color on the walls we could walk to everything in the downtown area. I would highly recommend anyone staying here. There were only two of us, however it would easily accommodate four.
This studio was a very comfortable place for my daughter and I to have a getaway
This studio was a very comfortable place for my daughter and I to have a getaway. Cute little kitchen with all the basics and extras for simple meals. The kitchen sink was slow to drain but we made them aware. We were not cooking so we didn’t feel the need to have someone come right away. The bathroom was very clean but small. Not a lot of shower height so something to consider for a tall person but it was perfectly fine for us. The location was fantastic and we always felt safe walking the neighborhood. The walk to King Street was only a few blocks and there were many cute places to stop and shop along the way. The host was responsive but we didn’t really need much. We did make them aware short drive over to Folly Beach one morning which was only about 25 minutes away. The provided parking was easy to find but about a 2 block walk. Street parking was usually easy for unloading and loading the car. Overall this was a great little place to stay and I would definitely do it again!
We had a wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay. Property is centralized to shopping and restaurants. Home was clean and host was very communicative.
