My girls and loved our trip to Charleston! The VRBO was great and our host was very thorough in details concerning our stay. Everything in our rental was great - especially the comfy beds!

Great Place!

Property was clean and held up to my expectations
6 / 10Average·Mar 2022
The photos look better than the property. Communication with the property was difficult to find on our emails. Once I found the chat section on the website, communication was all via text only. Could not get ahold of anyone via telephone nor email.
Once we got into the property we noticed this was most likely a fast turn around for profit. The building is in need of proper updating and leveling. If you have elderly or fall risk people in your party do not stay here. Floors are unleveled in kitchen/backdoor and where the kitchen meets the living room. Sofas were comfortable, both back bedrooms beds were comfortable, the larger front bedroom with the bay window needs rearrangement of furniture. They have the very uncomfortable queen bed crammed into a section between the fire place and wall where it is difficult getting in and out especially in the dark. Stubbing your toes on the fire place bottom mantle tile. You could also hear the furnace going on and off all night even though it was a comfortable 66 outside. This made sleeping very uncomfortable and hot. We woke several times in the night to finally move to the back bedroom to try to sleep.
The bathroom desperately needs updating and seems dirty even though it is clean. Only a shower as there are no plugs for the tub nor one of the bathroom sinks. The smell from the sink stinks. Windows do not open for fresh air. You cannot move the A/C or heating to adjust the temperature, it has to stay at 70F as the note says it will ruin the piping.
There is a make shift kitchen table that you have to move into the living room to use for 4 people and you will need to move the benches from the other rooms to use as seating. It only seats 4 not 6. The TV only has streaming app available.
Windows are very thin and you can hear every neighbor, noisy cars and buses as well as the honking train nearby.
The backyard area has been thought of in a considerate manner with the hammock, putting green and BBQ but was haphazardly put together. The table is on VERY unleveled ground and there are only 2 chairs that sit level to the table.
You are also in an area that is still a but sketchy (shady characters) if you plan to walk in the immediate neighborhood. This is also about a 20 minute walk to where the busy part of King St. is. There is 2 parking spots for the down stairs occupation at the property.
Based on other properties for the price this one needs to be heavily discounted for the condition and state it's in.
