Wonderful location!
Property manager was wonderful. A little difficult to find the door as it is not obviously marked. The number is above the door, but very hard to read. Great location near restaurants and shops not to mention all the historic homes and buildings. My complaints would be: No outlet in upstairs bathroom for blow dryer, lighting is pretty but not practical, and restaurant workers that for some reason sit on the step going into the condo and talk with their friends so it feels like they are in the room with you. They were not embarrassed to be sitting there even when we had to ask them to get up so we could enter--Very strange. They were nice, but it was annoying.

The Heart of Charleston
We were very happy with our stay at Palmetto Loft. The apartment was clean and spacious. The concierge service had our groceries delivered and put away before we arrived and arranged for our transportation back to the airport. Our ride arrived right on time. We could not have picked a better location in Charleston as our rental was a 5-minute walk to Dock Street, Queen Street, and 34 West Theatres, as well as numerous great restaurants and other tourist attractions.

Let me first say the apartment was wonderful! The issues we had was; people sitting on the steps right in front of our door, day and night, talking very loudly ( if a gate could be put in front of the steps , this would help greatly with this situation. )The noise and running water coming from other units ( not sure how thick the walls are) and the way the parking pass worked (after two calls someone helped us with this though.) With all that being said we did enjoy our stay, the the bed was like sleeping on a cloud and we thank you for our complimentary bottle of wine!!:)

Great location that is close to Charleston market and many of the top restaurants and bars. I would have rated it a 5 star except every morning between 4:45 AM and 6 AM you will be awaken by garbage collection for nearby restaurants and other establishments. Stil enjoyed stay given other location benefits.

Worst bed I’ve ever slept on. Had a cheap topper above mattress and cheap microfiber sheets! Dirty behind bed and dirty grout in bathroom. Expected something much nicer. Plus the tv never worked and the Wi-Fi was very weak.

Happy time, good location
Our stay was good but a little exasperated by the people hanging out on nearby stoops and eating food and smoking pot. The smell was awful and not appreciated. Unit was nicely set up and would have benefited from not having a dumpster out of the front door for nearby construction which was accessed/dumped early on two of the three mornings of our stay. WIFI was painfully slow and inaccessible for stay-had to tether to our phones for accessing the internet on computers during our stay. retro music devices a nice touch but only downstairs unit had bluetooth-not the upstairs unit in the bedroom area. Some other nice touches but more things expected due to price of this unit and other comps in the area.

Perfect location!!!
The French Quarter Loft was lovely, very comfortable and within easy walking distances of a ton of great Charleston restaurants. Communication with the property management company was outstanding and they provided very thoughtful touches throughout the space. Our original flight was cancelled and we ended up arriving extremely late and they made sure all the lights were on and we felt very welcomed. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great home base
Overall experience was fantastic if you are looking for a walking/eating/drinking tour of the historic/classically tourist spots of Charleston. Amenities were great and the bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was strong. We left the kiddos at home so the minimal morning sun was great for catch-up on sleep. Communication with the management firm was great too. Also a very easy walk to Harris Teeter for necessary groceries and snacks. Would definitely rent again.

Great place and amazing location!
Clean, great spot to walk everywhere, nice decor, love that it's 2 levels, doesn't look like much outside but it's great! Perfect spot if you're working from the apartment. Bed is kind of uncomfortable because they put a memory foam topper on it that shifts easily. Hard to sleep one night when a new family arrived on the next level-- noisy.

First time using VRBO........
The property is very clean but it smells like a mixture of cats and your grandmothers house. It is also very dark due to the family room, kitchen and dining room being below street level. Property is located off of East Bay and a couple streets over from the Market near the Scotchman's connivence store. The property is comfortable, well designed and the kitchen is fully stocked but the linens and towels are old. This is our first time using VRBO and we will be a little more discerning next time but all in all not a bad experience.

Fantastic Experience
My girlfriend and I stayed in this apartment in mid June 2020 for about 10 days and had a fantastic experience. The apartment has a great layout, is very well decorated, has a well stocked kitchen (we cooked several nights), and is in an excellent location. The parking situation is very convenient as well (garage is about a 5 minute walk from the loft). Mgt. was very responsive and courteous and generally a pleasure to deal with (they responded promptly to a text I sent somewhat late on a Sunday night, which was very impressive). One thing to note though is that the unit is not the quietest place. The apt we stayed in is on the ground floor, so you do hear street noise to varying degrees depending on the night of the week. At night we simply turned on a fan for white noise and that worked wonders. The walls are also not the thickest but again, the fans provided in the closet worked well to drown this out. The one other thing to note is that the apartment doesn't get a ton of natural light, but since we didn't spend a ton of time in the apt during the day, this wasn't a big issue for us. All things considered, I'd highly recommend this place given the negatives are far, far outweighed by the positives. We look forward to coming back for another stay soon.

Cumberland St. Stay in French Quarter of Charleston
The property was first rate. While the door entrance looks pretty ordinary, the inside was wonderful. The pictures do not give it justice for how comfy it is. Finally, the location in the French Quarter one half block from East Bay and one block East of the Market cannot be beat for ease of walking. Loved it.

Perfect location
The property was exactly as described in the listing. The location is truly close to everything. We walked to pretty much everywhere downtown. It’s an adorable apartment and is beautiful decorated. I would highly recommend staying here, you won’t be disappointed. Only drawback was the construction going on down the street which was loud at times.
