Excellent communication with host, great location to walk to king street, visitor center . Cery clean. Construction going on next to house but the noise wasn’t bad as we were gone most of the day and they didn’t start too early . Beds were very comfortable.
Came to Charleston for a girls weekend:) Amy was an amazing host and responded to any questions quickly. Lovely home with lots of charm and very convenient location to everything. Would highly recommend a stay here
Street blocked on both ends at times.Parking very very challenging I’m elderly, the stairs were challenging for me. Delightful home!! Would recommend to anyone.
Beautifully remodeled house with plenty of room for 7 women on our girls trip. Wonderful location close to King St. Walkable to restaurants, bars and shopping or an easy Uber. Note, the house is on 3 levels so there are a lot of stairs up to bedrooms. Host was very responsive. Highly recommend!
Excellent home. Much larger than you see from the outside. Had 5 people and saw other friends homes for wedding weekend that were cramped. Love the house.
My family and friends absolutely loved our stay in Charleston. This property was nestled right off of King St which made it a walkable distance to most of our activities, which we loved. The home was clean, comfortable and had a beautiful outdoor space in the backyard with patio furniture so we could comfortably gather inside and outside. The hosts were quickly responsive to any question I had and kindly offered suggestions of activities to do around town. We would definitely be inclined to return. Thank you so much for offering this property; we had a fantastic time!
Nice house in a nice neighborhood in downtown Charleston. Owners were very communicative and helpful. Proactively let us know that construction was going on next door a month before check-in and gave us updates as it got closer to our stay and offered to let us cancel with no charge if the construction would be an issue for us. Luckily the loud construction finished before we got there but and that was not necessary. Very walkable area with pretty easy street parking. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Would stay there again or recommend to friends.
