This property is laid out very strangely with two queen beds in one room and a double bed in another. We were traveling with another couple and they could not stay with us because of the layout. There also was a small issue with construction beginning upstairs in another unit at 7:00 am 2 out of our 3 mornings. They proceeded to loudly talk on the veranda outside our windows for about an hour. They also had a man wash our windows WHILE we were there without consulting us. It was an interesting way to treat paying guests.

Beautifully decorated, amenities were provided, very clean. Enjoyed our outdoor space on the piazza. We could hear the street noise, but it didn’t wake us up.

My 4 friends and I stayed here for a long weekend. The house was beautiful and clean. The linens and towels were great, tons of awesome small details (nice soap in bathrooms, sound machines in each room, etc). Jamie and her staff were super friendly and very accommodating, we saw them around the property often. Outside street was a little noisy, especially on Saturday night, but as mentioned above, sound machines in each room definitely helped and it’s a trade-off that I’m more than ok with for the great location and awesome place.

Nice place but the noise from the street was almost 24 hours a day. Construction on the property directly next door started before 8 am combined with the street noise it was almost unbearable! There is also a fire station around the corner! We heard fire trucks probably 5 or 6 times at all times of the day in the 3 days we were there. This property currently is not suitable for guests due to the constant noise. We were very disappointed.

We absolutely loved this property! It was spacious, beautifully decorated, well stocked and very clean. The location was perfect -- easy to get downtown, easy to get to Mt. Pleasant and elsewhere -- and the area felt very safe and walkable. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. We couldn't recommend it more highly!
