Great Location
Great location - able to walk to most things in city. Nice place….comfortable, clean and spacious with high ceilings. Great communication with host (very quick responses to questions I had) and had a parking spot included which is a big plus in the city. Being an owned unit within a hotel gave you access to an onsite bar/restaurant and a front desk staff to help answer questions. Overall would stay here again……(I am a frequent visitor to Charleston to visit family)

Fantastic location. Walking distance to all the key places and attractions. The loft was more spacious than anticipated and had a nice view over the courtyard. Busy street but the apartment was quiet. Bed very comfy.

Superb location
Spacious. Needs some paint updating and major clean in tub. Mildew smell in apt. Thin walls so a bit noisy at night. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of towels for 3.

Excellent location. Host was responsive to questions. Only word of caution is tight spiral stairs to bedroom and only bath for those with mobility issues. Also mention to bring own toiletries as only soap available. Location outweighed all.

Great location, great apartment
This place was a great home base for exploring Charleston. The loft layout was cozy but still plenty spacious. The parking garage spot came in very handy as well. Will definitely stay here again!

Great Location for Tourist Sites, Shopping and Restaurants
The location was excellent. We didn't have a car, but we didn't need one as everything we wanted to do/see was in walking distance. This would be perfect for a couple. The sole bathroom being upstairs was a bit challenging, but we managed. I'd definitely stay here again.

Cute and cozy…
Cute and cozy in the heart of Charleston. We really enjoyed our stay and could see ourselves staying here again. Check in and out was super easy. The owner provided perfect instructions that made finding the unit and the parking garage super easy. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was the perfect place for us to get away for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you again allowing us to stay.

Spacious with great location
Very well appointed and spacious accommodations with a real leather couch. The kitchen was modern and contained all necessary items for a gourmet meal. The accommodations are within walking distance to hundreds of restaurants, bars, parks and other attractions. Parking is a little janky, but the provided garage pass is only a couple blocks away. Much better than no place to park at all. The walls can seem a little thin at times.

Amazing location, great for exploring the city!
Ashton’s loft is in an amazing location on E Bay St - across the street from many of Charleston’s most famous restaurants. We loved the proximity to King Street shopping and the waterfront park. The loft itself was located in the Lodge Alley Inn, which was under heavy construction during the time of our stay, but the construction noise did not bother us one bit! We would gladly stay here again when we come to Charleston!

Great location for enjoying restuarants and the Spoleto festival. The loft layout gave us nice room for spreading out. The bedroom loft did not allow for a king size bed, though, which is our preference. All in all, a nice setup.

Apartment was clean and had everything you would need. Very comfortable. Awesome location is perfect for the historic district. Go to Carmelo’s for dessert. It’s right across the street. Owner was very responsive to questions. Would return again.

Perfect location.
This location can not be beat! The loft is comfortable and attractive. A half bath on the main level would make it really perfect, but it really wasn’t a big deal to climb the stairs. We enjoyed being able to walk right out the door into prime historic district territory. Great restaurants are within steps, but make your reservations early!

Check in was smooth and easy. The unit was nicely appointed, clean and stocked with the essentials. I needed to contact Ashton and he responded immediately. The location is the best in Charleston. We never needed the car. I highly recommend this unit. We’ll definitely be back!!!

Downtown Charleston
The only bathroom is located up a spiral staircase that is difficult to climb. Had we known we would not have rented. The unit is in a BlueGreen Timeshare resort you are not part of the resort and do not check in and need to get your luggage up through a service elevator. The location and parking pass are great.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Perfect location but bring your own sheets
This rental could be nice but smelled musty when we entered. We noticed a lot of dust in higher places, caked around lower molding and mold and mildew starting in the bath and on the shower curtain. There was a lot of mildew cleaners under the bathroom sink so we sprayed the areas that needed it. Many light bulbs needed replacing but not any extra light bulbs for us to replace them with. When we turned down the bed late on the first night we noticed the sheets were wrinkled as if they had been slept in, the corners were pulled loose along with hair and dirt. We reached out to the property Mgr and when he finally got back to us at the end of the next day he said they didn’t iron the sheets and the place hadn’t been deep cleaned because they had been so busy, But he assured me housecleaning had changed out the sheets. We didn’t sleep in the bed first night but bought new bedding the next day. On a good note, we were allowed to get in the room early because there hadn’t been anyone in the day before. Too bad housecleaning didn’t use the extra time to their advantage. It is in a great location, has potential and is walking distance to many great areas.

Bo K.

Excellent location but poor wifi and poor cleaning
I stayed for three nights at this property and while the host was great and the location superb I will not be returning back to this unit in my future visits to Charleston. I chose this location for the accessiblity to downtown Charleston and for the size and flexibility of the space. However I was dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the unit when I arrived especially since I am paying for a separate cleaning fee in addition to the rental. The unit was cleaned after the last rental however there were numerous areas that displayed a sloppy cleaning job. For example, water marks on most of the surfaces, obvious strands of hair in the bathroom, dust bunnies, cobwebs, other items on carpet in the sleeping areas where the vaccuum had obviously overlooked. The unit did not feel like a cleaned unit. I immediately informed Ashton and he told me he wanted me to send him photos which I did. We had issues with the unit's wi-fi which was shared under the Lodge Inn wifi. I assumed the loft had it's own wifi after reading the details in the description. I spoke with Ashton who told me to call the lobby at the Lodge Inn but they informed me there was no other wifi that would provide me with a stronger signal. So hence we could not use Netflix at the loft. That was one of the reasons why we rented the unit so that we could have access to Netflix. One last thing, there was only twin fitted sheet available for the full sized pull out couch. We barely slept on the ill fitting sheets.
