Norris and Schachte Properties

“The arrival and check in was smooth. There were a few items such as active wasps nest on patio, locked master bath and malfunctioning keypad that caused some inconveniences. Unit is in need of some TLC to include ceiling in top floor bathroom, but otherwise clean and livable, and hosts communicable. Keep in mind there is no room for more than two parked vehicles, no visitor parking on site.”

“Overall an okay stay, one of the more affordable options in the area. Located in a residential apartment complex. Neighbors played loud music late in the the night, and able to hear the upstairs neighbor in the morning. Place was overall clean but large stains on the couch, bedding and bathmat. Beds were comfortable. Shower was not inviting.”

“Decent value, but not somewhere I’d stay again. The hosts were kind and responsive, and I appreciated that they included complimentary cooking and cleaning supplies. The low price and amenities were enough that I extended my stay by a week. However, the unit felt more like an investment property than a home: functional but impersonal, with stained carpets, scuffs on the walls, and chipped paint. I think a deep clean and a few more furnishings, would help improve the property. Also, the area felt unsafe at times, with very heavy traffic outside the complex and some sketchy behavior nearby. Someone unlocked and entered my unit unannounced, after being alerted the hosts responded quickly and apologized. Ultimately this was fine for a short, budget-minded stay, but not a place I'd choose again.”

“The property was clean and spotless with nice amenities. The only disappointment was there were no comfortable chairs to relax and sit in. The couch had a low back and was very uncomfortable. I was there for 12 days and this made evenings unpleasant. As a senior citizen the tubs were high for difficult entry and exits.”

“Do it if you want to under your own risk .🤷🏽‍♀️”

“I messaged before booking to ask about distance from parking and steps en route because one in our party had limitation. After 4 hours? I messaged again in case first didn't send. Got a response 11.5 hour later and between, price had been increased. I asked which price would apply and got no response..booked because we were dealing with a crisis and had no time to keep looking. Arrived to find that smoke detector had been removed from mater bedroom, fan im that rm didnt work, 2 light bulbs were missing in bathroom, toilet runs, bulb was burnt out over dining table and towel rack in 2d bath was not secure. They responded promptly to those msgs saying they'd have taken care of before next guest arrived (fixing after was ok....we were one night). Ifthinking of listing, read all, particularly maintenance section in additional rules at very end. This is a subletted apt dependent on complex maintenance. They have no ctrl over timing of repairs. Oh..and 1 wine glass. Cheers!”

“The place was ok for the most part. I did contact and the host said they will bring over more towels because the ones that were there was wet and folded on the bed. I ran out to get some once I noticed. They did offer to bring more but I didn’t want to wait anyway. The knats were flying for the whole stay which was two days . I brought it to the host attention they told me that the spray would arrive by a certain time it didn’t do I brought some from the store that didn’t work and they refuse to accommodate me in some sort of way they ignored me and gave me check out instructions. I didn’t feel like it was fare at all. Also the bugs were in the fridge. I have multiple pictures of the bugs crawling and flying around.”

“It was very hot , the air conditioner was not working during the night . The towels were dirty when I arrived at check in”

“My family booked this apartment for a one night stay. Upon returning from dinner we were stopped by another guest in the location who was renting from the same host, they let us know that they found hidden cameras in the outlets, called the police and advised us to check our apartment. When we checked we found several outlet cameras in the unit. One camera in the bathroom directly facing the shower. We called the police and had to find a hotel at 1am in the morning. We contacted the host and after one phone conversation never heard back from the host. We provided pictures and all of the information. I trusted my family would be safe in this home and feel violated. Do not choose this unit or any other unit by this host as your privacy will be jeopardized and you will be recorded.”

“Place is infested with roaches there was baby roaches everywhere you looked. When told about the roaches they gave us roach spray. Not worth the price never had this problem before at any other place in Charleston.”
