We had a wonderful stay at the ‘Alcove’. The host was very good at communicating with us; the place was lovely, clean and so convenient to everything we wanted to do. All the amenities were great - comfortable bed, full kitchen with all the things we needed, etc. I definitely recommend it!

Very responsive host. Great location. We walked everywhere we went in downtown including King Street, the market, rainbow row, and the battery. The assigned, offstreet parking was great.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the great location and were able to walk everywhere downtown. Parking in Charleston is pretty rare, so we’re happy to hear we could accommodate you with off-street parking. We’d love to host you again!
My husband and I really enjoyed the location, and comfortable bed and linens. Cute kitchen suited our needs with exposed brick. Used the dining table to eat and to wrap presents!

Very cozy. Close to shops and CofC. Bring ear plugs or head phones because you can hear neighbors above. Didn’t bother me, I came prepared.

Thanks so much for your feedback! 😊 We’re happy you enjoyed the cozy vibe and the location. We always strive to provide a smooth and cozy experience for our guests, and we appreciate you being prepared for the noise. Come back and see us soon!
David was very good at communicating with me and asnwering my questions quickly. The apartment was perfect for me and I walked all over town from there. It was also very close to the free shuttle stop to various locations downtown. Highly rated places to eat were also nearby as well as places to grab coffee early in the morning. The added benefit of a desigated parking was also very helpful. The apartment was quiet and I felt safe walking around and it was easy to exit the Penninsula to places like Mt. Pleasant and other nearby destinations when I used a car.

We had a great stay at The Alcove. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, with a cozy atmosphere and a very comfortable king bed. The location was perfect - an easy walk to King Street and plenty of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby.The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive throughout our stay. Their communication before and during the trip made everything simple, and they were especially helpful with our early arrival. They let us drop off our bags and even brought them to the unit for us, which we really appreciated. Overall, the place was well-kept, had all the essentials, and made for a smooth, enjoyable trip. We’d definitely stay here again.
