Location was perfect - a little loud with street sounds, but there were white noise machines in each room. It was super easy to walk to restaurants/bars. Beds were also very comfortable and the unit was clean. Also, the hosts were very responsive and flexible. We were there for my son's wedding and they let us check in early and check out late, which we really appreciated.

Breakfast, as well as late afternoon hors d'oeuvres and beverages, are available at Indigo Inn.

Amazing hotel! When we arrived we were welcomed by a cheese & wine reception. I knew it but my family was impressed :-) The location could not be any closer to the historic downtown - it is inside! We loved our stay and agreed that Indigo Inn was one of the best hotels on our trip. Parking was also easy.

    Host texted with full instructions before arrival and it was easy to enter the property. Space to park the car. The welcome basket was very welcome! The apartment is a great location. 10 mins to downtown Charleston and near the beach. The location is amazing - right on the river, it has a great decking so you can sit and watch all the wildlife (including the geese, ducks and hens in the next door garden) and the view is so calming. Highly recommended!

    Guesthouse was amazing!!! I was a little apprehensive due to the lack of reviews, and also because of a Booking snafu, but their customer service (Guesthouse) is amazing and put my mind at ease. I spoke with Kerri who sent me all the emails and app that I needed before check in. Keyless entry, super clean, and great location. Parking is a bit tight, but you get used to it. Very easy to Uber or walk anywhere in Charleston. This was my friend's first time staying in a vacation rental and she had a great experience!
