563 King C - Charleston, SC

The location was good for walking distance of downtown Charleston. The parking was a challenge and although there are supposed to be 2 parking spaces per apartment on one afternoon when we returned there were one. There is construction going on all around and the contractors use these parking spaces. Even the cleaning crew on the day we left said the same thing and they have to pay and park on the road outside at time.
First the hygienist's shortcomings:
1. Cleanliness of the kitchen area only was very poor. smoked cigar from previous renter left on kitchen shelf.
2. Dirt, dust and bottle caps down the side of the refrigerator - these weren't even cleaned when we asked for the cleaning crew to come back and resolve.
3. Unwrapped candy left in kitchen drawer, again not resolved by second cleaning crew coming in.
4. Lots of dirt and dust on kitchen shelves, clearly hasn't been wiped down or dusted in a long time. This was resolved by the second cleaning crew coming in.
Other shortcomings:
1. They have 2 gates in the common entrance area and patio area that are key code entry. A joke as when we arrived both gate locks were't functioning allowing children on skateboards to come in off of King Street and play in the patio area (and yes we asked them first if they were staying at the 563 King St. complex). We stayed 3 nights and by the time we checked out only one gate was repaired to prevent public access.
2. Apartment C has bedrooms on the upper floor and the noise from the bars on the street was very loud up until 1am. They have white noise machines in each bedroom and this is probably why.

In summary it is a nice apartment and the shortcomings were not the fault of the owner. It's a lack of attention to detail on housekeeping, maintenance and the construction work going on all around which means you may not end up with a parking space. Apparently each apartment has 2 spaces, there's no policing of this and I'm convinced apart from the contractors using these spaces there are others too.

The unit is beautiful and very comfortable. Location is excellent, right in the heart of activity ….shopping, restaurants, accessability to highways and sightseeing. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely return here!

Great location to all the things!!! Shopping, nightlife, food and drinks you will have it all steps away at this BnB.
Beautiful home and very comfortable to stay in. You have all the things needed!! Host was easy to communicate with and super accommodating even when we wanted to stay another night!
We will definitely book this rental again!

Although we ran into some unforseeable obstacles, Karl and his team were incredible helpful, responsive and accommodating. I would happily rent again from this company in the future. The unit itself is in an excellent location, is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and unique. We loved the rooftop space as well!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the King St apartments. We loved the layout, the beds were sooo comfortable, and the patio area was a wonderful beautiful place to relax and enjoy our family time. We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying there again soon!
