Guest Access:
The apartment has a large piazza and off street parking. It is located only a block away from three popular restaurants, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Bistronomy By Nico and Fuel. Walk about 5 blocks and you will be on King Street with many of Charleston's favorite new restaurants and boutiques.

The Neighborhood:
The Elliotborough/Cannonborough district of downtown Charleston. With its friendly neighbors, cozy restaurants, and tree lined streets, our neighborhood will immerse you in Charleston’s classic charm. This house is perfect for a family or group seeking a fun, culinary and cultural vacation. Popular dining spots in the neighborhood include Xiao Bao Biscuit, Fuel, Porchetta Shop, Southbound, R Kitchen, Chubby Fish and many more! Our guests and neighbors also rave about Welton's Tiny Bakeshop and Kudu Coffee. We recommend going to either for a cup of locally-roasted coffee or their delicious cookies and cakes. The house is only a short walk from the very popular King Street where you will find a multitude of great shops – including antique shops, book stores and fashion boutiques – as well as endless buzzing restaurants and bars.

Getting Around:
You can walk almost everywhere - but should you want to rest your feet, there are many other options for getting around: Uber, Lyft, Charleston Bike Taxi, Charleston Rickshaw, Green Taxi or Yellow Cab.

Quick Charleston Getaway

Our family had a great quick trip to Charleston. The home was cozy and adorable. We were there for a college tour and the location was in close proximity to the college. We also appreciated off road parking.

Relaxing visit

Relaxing and convenient location to walk in the historic areas of Charleston. Loved the coffee maker and delicious coffee provided! After being on the road for a week, the washer and dryer was very much appreciated! Will stay again when we come back!

Loved the thoughtful touches

The host made sure our stay was enjoyable by including thoughtful touches like toiletries, white noise machines in the bedrooms, and cute towel displays on each bed. The unit was full of the southern charm we were looking for.

Perfect Location

Perfect place to stay if you want to be close to literally everything. 10 minutes to the marketplace, 8 minutes to downtown Charleston, 15 minutes to shem creek, 13 minutes to patriots point, 20 minutes to the beach. Only thing I would add, is make sure you bring a midsize SUV or smaller if staying here. I brought my truck, and it was a little tight to park. Still can't really complain about free parking on sight. Just more of PSA.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
The unit is in a very run-down two story “single house” style home. The outside stairs and walkway are in need of repair. Paint peeling. Just an unfortunate first impression. Inside, the unit is clean. A tea kettle was provided (I had asked but was told I could bring my own). This would have been a nice touch, but the tea kettle has rust inside. I used a saucepan instead. The beds are comfortable, but nothing else is. There is no kitchen table to eat a meal. The living room furniture includes a small, stained sofa and two small chairs with no comfortable way to watch tv. The bathroom is clean and has the necessities. But toilet is so low to the ground. Very awkward. If you have knee problems, be careful! And you have to be very careful with uneven flooring, especially in the hall outside the bathroom which is lower than the bathroom floor or the living room and bedroom floors on either side of it, and the back bedroom floor slopes down to one side. Seems like an architectural hazard. The location was also very disappointing. It really is not convenient to walk to the most desirable parts of town. And driving on these very narrow streets is not for the faint of heart. Parking is very expensive, too. We did walk to Publix once which required traveling through littered, busy streets. It felt unsafe. As I mentioned, the beds are comfortable, and they provide white noise machines, but these are needed because there was a lot of street noise at times.

Misrepresentation

The house from the outside was very shabby- paint peeling and poorly maintained stairs and railings. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable, with poor lighting. Beds were comfortable but rooms were sparingly furnished. For a very short term stay it was sufficient but we would never book this place again .
