Charleston, SC is a highly popular travel destination, and for good reason. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful city, from carriage rides and fort visits to amazing restaurants and lively nightlife. But one question that often comes up for tourists is whether to stay in an Airbnb or in an apartment. Here are four reasons why apartments are the superior option when travelling to Charleston.
1. Location, Location, Location
Charleston is a very compact city, and most of the major attractions are within walking distance of one another. This makes staying in an Airbnb or rental apartment a much better option than staying in a hotel, as you can easily explore everything on foot.
2. More Space
Hotels in Charleston are notoriously small, often with just a few rooms per floor. If you’re travelling with a large group or want more space to spread out, an apartment is the perfect solution.
3. Kitchenette
Many apartments in Charleston come with a kitchenette, which is perfect for those who want to save money by cooking some of their own meals. This can be a major money-saver, especially if you’re travelling for an extended period of time.
4. More Affordable
Apartments in Charleston are often more affordable than hotels, especially if you’re travelling in a large group. This can be a major deciding factor for budget-minded travellers.
