I loved visiting Charleston. It's a very visually pleasing destination. I went as part of a work event and it's an amazing city full of amazing people (most of whom are transplants). That said, it's got a pretty dark history around slavery which to the city's credit, it doesn't hide anymore. I don't remember a bad smell (try Venice!) but the bugs are a problem.
