I had a wonderful stay at this beautifully maintained apartment. The space was comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and exactly as described. Check-in was seamless, and everything functioned perfectly throughout my stay. The building itself is exceptional, and the rooftop is a true highlight. Stunning city views paired with a serene, inviting atmosphere make it an ideal place to unwind. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would be delighted to return. Highly recommended.
Fire Tower is in an awesome location! Convenient to everything. The apartment is beautiful, the perfect mix of historic charm with an updated aesthetic. It was impeccably clean. Extra blankets for a lazy evening watching movies. Abundance of body wash, lotions, shampoos and conditioners for those of us that tend to forget! Easy access to elevator for check in and check out. Parking deck is close and easy to navigate. The patio is beautiful feels like your own private oasis. Babas coffee shop is not only amazing but convenient for morning coffee and small bites or evening cocktails before dinner. We would definitely stay here again! Do yourself a favor and book this rental! It is truly a hidden gem.
We really enjoyed our stay here - the unit was clean, modern, and spacious, and the location just a block off of King meant we were close to everything, but a little removed from the noise of a sometimes rambunctious street. There is a cute coffee shop literally right in front of the building, too. We appreciated the vouchers provided for free parking, though as a heads up, it is in a garage about a block away. Very safe area to be going back and forth to the garage if needed. Great stay!
A great place to stay. Excellent location with lots of great restaurants nearby. Staying downtown allowed not to have to rent a car which was wonderful. The accommodations worked well for us. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was terrific. We wish we had an opportunity to take advantage of our balcony as well as the other outdoor spaces but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. The host was really helpful and flexible with our check in process and timing.
Location, location, location! Walkable area with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. You won’t really need your car unless you’re venturing further out. Baba’s next door is a fabulous spot for coffee and breakfast. Grocery store and drug store not too far away should you need them. This is located in the city, so peace and quiet won’t be the main draw, especially with the fire station nearby. That said, we weren’t bothered by it at all. Just set your expectations appropriately. White noise machines in the bedrooms helped a lot. Our unit (D) was located at the top of a narrow and curved staircase. Handrails and lighting helped a great deal. We are 70 years old and handled them fine, but those with mobility concerns should take note. Nice to have the assigned parking spot in the back. Decor was beautiful, yet homey. Host was extremely responsive and helpful.
The Fire Tower AirBnB was perfect for us. It is located in a safe location close to restaurants and historic sites. We were able to park our car in a ramp down the street from the apartment. The staff was quick to respond to our questions and followed up to make sure everything is working as expected. Very accommodating. The bed was very comfortable. We highly recommend this Airbnb.
This Airbnb is a modern, clean and in a great location. The whole building looks new and is beautiful. It’s right behind a great little cafe called Baba’s that we went to daily for meals or just coffee and drinks. Very good communication with the host. Everything was lovely, new and in working order and we had no issues. I’d definitely stay here again if we visit Charleston!
We had a wonderful stay in Charleston. Our host was friendly, very responsive, and the space was conveniently located within walking distance of numerous attractions and restaurants. Charleston is a large, vibrant city, there were the normal street noises you'd expect in any city, but we had no difficulty sleeping. The location felt secure, we had no issues and never felt unsafe.
