About this property

Beautiful English Basement Apartment in Historic District with Private Patio!

Traveling with a group? En-suite bathrooms are the way to go, and that's exactly what we offer.

This welcoming three-bedroom, 3-bath English Basement apartment offers visitors convenient access to all that Charleston has to offer. Housed in a historic Charleston single home built in the late 1800s, the apartment is steps from the city’s best shops and restaurants and is easily walkable to MUSC and the College of Charleston.

The apartment recently underwent a full renovation, completed in spring 2017. Measuring just under 1,000 square feet, the apartment offers three bedrooms each featuring premium bedding and its own full bathroom with shower. Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all of the amenities of a boutique hotel (bath products, high-end towels and linens, hair dryers, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen, washer/dryer, and a classic secluded brick patio for enjoying the nearly year-round comfortable temperatures Charleston offers its visitors.

Complimentary parking is offered for guests in a private parking lot located across from the apartment.

This apartment is on the lower level of the three-story property. The home features two additional 3 BR/3 BA rentals on the first and second floors, which can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for larger groups. Please inquire if interested.

Absolutely no parties or late-night noise will be tolerated.

Visitors can shop for tailored menswear at Indigo & Cotton located directly next door and across from the apartment; indulge in the city’s most charming bakery – Sugar Bakeshop - located just across the street from the rental; and peruse the selection of handmade bags and leather goods at J. Stark, just down the block.

Many of the city’s most notable eateries are located in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, or an easy walk from the rental. In an October 2017 Thrillist article on where to eat in and around Charleston now – 11 of the 29 Charleston eateries listed are in easy walking distance to the home (the rest, an easy car or cab ride away): O-Ku, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit, Chez Nous, The Darling Oyster Bar, The Grocery, Indaco, The Ordinary, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Warehouse, Chubby Fish.

Perfect Escape from the Heat!
Loved having three bathrooms for our girls trip, with cold water in the fridge when we arrived on a VERY hot August day. We were greeted when we arrived and were even able to check in a few hours early, because your place was ready. Everything was very seamless and the location was perfect for walking to get coffee + bagels in the morning and grabbing a salad + sandwich for lunch.

Cute Apartment With Good Location
The property was a quaint little unit that accurately described and in a great location. The property manager was able to let us in early which was nice and came back several hours later after we checked in. The kitchen was missing some essentials (e.g., a cutting board). There were a few other slight annoyances such as the fan in one of the bathrooms was dripping dirty water and there was some beeping coming from outside that we were able to hear at night. The door was constantly getting stuck and difficult to open and close. The appliances were also not user friendly. Overall, good spot for a group that wants to do walking around and exploring.

Had a lovely stay in Charleston. Property was as described with more privacy than expected. The mini-split ACs in each room ensured we were cool even in the heat of the day.

Girls trip
We enjoyed our stay at the Charlestonian. We had plenty of room with six women and the kitchen area was well stocked with necessities. Cute quiet little neighborhood. Although we could have walked to a lot of the bars and restaurants close by it was really too hot in the South Carolina heat of summer. Not to worry, Ubers were plentiful. I was a little concerned because I’ve never stayed in a “basement “apartment before, but it was quiet and the air conditioning and fans worked great. There was plenty of sunlight from the windows. It was not really what I would think a basement would be. We felt safe and at ease, which is a major concern for me when renting a VRBO.

Charming place, excellent location.
Came for a long weekend with friends and loved our stay. The six of us were very comfortable and didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Our host was helpful, attentive and accommodating. The place is only a few blocks away from King St so we walked a lot which we enjoyed since we wanted to explore the city. The kitchen could use some more items for cooking (cutting board, tongs) but overall the place was well stocked, very clean, well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Charleston!

Great location, great place.
Everything about the place was just as advertised. My only complaint was the check-in process. The door is very hard to open without instructions, which were not provided at check in. After that was sorted out, everything was great.

Charlestonian
Overall an excellent experience. The location could not be better. We were forewarned in advance of construction next door which was annoying due to our late night excursions and desire to sleep in. The only improvement I might suggest is to improve the sound proofing between the master bedroom and the bedroom next to it.

First Visit to Charleston
The property is lovely and well appointed. We had an issue getting in so we texted Morgan as the instructions advised. Morgan came right over, got us in and was very friendly. The location was great. A quick walk to King Street for all of our shopping and dining. Also a quick walk to the College of Charleston for a college tour. The beds were comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and property was really well maintained! We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Morgan!

Excellent stay.
The Charlestonian was an awesome stay. We had the downstairs unit, and this made it an extra private space for our group to relax and have fun. The decor is very nice. The location was very close to King Street making it super close to walk to lots of bars and restaurants. Communication with the host was excellent; they were quick to help with checkin and a minor issue we had at the start of our stay. Would definitely recommend this property.

Garden View means basement.
We were disappointed when we realized this Vrbo was a basement apartment. It was advertised as garden view. It had an industrial chic look but the walls were thin and noise from apartment could be heard late at night. The bathrooms walls were rough to look at. The location was good but being in a basement was not what we had hoped for. The beds were comfortable.

Beautiful apartment
My family (includes my spouse, parents, and children ages 4 & 6) had a wonderful stay in this lower level apartment. The location is exceptionally convenient, located right on the free shuttle route and easily walkable to King St. The apartment is beautiful and clean. Three rooms with their own bathrooms, what more could you ask for?!?! Beds are super comfortable and linens, bath products and coffee are provided. We were extremely pleased with our choice to book here! Highly recommend.

Visiting for Oyster Festival
We visited with two other couples for the Annual Oyster Festival. The home was very centrally located. We walked most places. the house was well furnished and VERY clean! There was nothing we needed that we did not have. One bedroom is VERY SMALL (challenging to lay out your luggage) BUT the closet accommodated us just fine! Really enjoyed our stay! Communication with the owner is A+++
