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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Right downtown in walking distance to all attractions and downtown restaurants. Large grocery (Harris Teeter) is two blocks away. Free parking a plus. The private room at the restaurant spills into the courtyard under the unit. Loud wedding started to quiet down at 10:30pm and all gone by 11pm.

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!

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.
