“For a blend of hotel reliability and apartment-style living in Charleston, this property strikes a solid balance. Its location, a bit north of the main drag, suited those who appreciate a walk or quick access to public transit. I particularly appreciate modern touches, well-equipped kitchens, and the option of private parking - a definite plus in this historic city.”
