This VRBO had it all--historic but all the modern conveniences and in the heart of the French Quarter. It was perfect for two couples--each with their own dreamy king beds and bathrooms. The comfy porch overlooking horse-drawn carriages below was a real plus. Both couples agreed that it was the perfect place for our week in Charleston.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Dianna Brown Place. Very Clean and had everything we needed. Location was fabulous. We walked nearly everywhere during our trip. Centrally located and walkable to most places. We also LOVED the bakery beneath us. So easy to go down and grab breakfast and a coffee every morning. Can’t say enough good things about this place!

This is the second time we’ve stayed here, it’s our favorite! We love how clean and new it is inside, but still has so much historic charm. The furniture is comfortable, the washer/dryer are so convenient, and we love spending time on the balcony. It’s the very best location also, easy walk to so many historic sites, art galleries, museums, restaurants, and shopping, as well as the waterfront. Communication is excellent, just the right amount of them checking in with us to make sure all is well; and immediate responses when I message a question. Can’t say enough about how perfect this place is!

Great, great, great location! Everything I happen to have reservations at was literally a four minute walk away. Museums were all around and a coffee shop and delicious bakery were right downstairs. Great experience. Also the home itself was very. well decorated and a great kitchenette was right at the entrance so it was convenient. The porch was also perfect to just people watch why you had your coffee.

The property was so clean! I would say if it is two couples definitely two en-suites as the second has a door that closes so if you do not use the pull out bed is totally private. The internet was terrible and being the suite directly above the restaurant was a little noisy. The beds were super comfortable!!

Perfect location and charm

We took our children (ages 6 and 4) for a week long vacation in Charleston. This place was perfect for all of our needs. The speedy laundry machines, the spacious rooms, and piazza made our lives much easier! The off street parking and Harken cafe underneath were an added bonus. We can’t wait to come back here again!
