Best Host!!

Andrew went above and beyond to provide the best stay for my bachlorette crew! I cannot thank him enough for accommodating us so kindly! The location is great for walking to and from popular spots in the city. The house is very clean and has everything you would need to stay!

What a great spot!!

We (6 adults) were in Charleston for a wedding & Andrew's place was perfect! We rented the penthouse & the apartment below it - 2 beds/baths up and 2 beds/baths down. The place was well-appointed, very clean & safe - only two blocks from King St. Andrew was VERY nice & friendly! We would definitely stay here again.

Every girl that came to stay at this house with me had nothing but GREAT things to say!

Took a trip with 12 other girls for my bachelorette party. The house was exactly how it looks in pictures and more. Everything... down to the towels are nice and good quality. We all had nothing but awesome things to say about Andrew the owner. He responded right away to anything we had questions about or needed. The location is PERFECT! If your looking for a house in Charleston STAY here!!

Charming House

We rented this property for 11 girls for a Bachelorette Party. Only 8 girls were able to make it due to weather, but if we would have had all 11 it would have been a tight fit. This property has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, however, it is set up like two apartments on separate floors. You have to walk outside (uncovered) to get to the other set of rooms. This would have been fine, but it was pouring down rain the entire weekend we were there. That being said, the remodel of the apartments are nice. The kitchen is quite small, but we really didn't use that too much. If you are wanting to prepare food there and eat, keep in mind, there is only bar height seating for two. There is not a dining table to sit at. The bedrooms were quite spacious. One having a kind size bed and the other having a queen size bed (same set up in the other apartment). In the lower apartment, there was only one mirror in the whole place (bathroom). We had to dig to find another mirror (there was a floor length mirror stashed in one of the closets). I would suggest putting more mirrors in both apartments. In terms of location, this property was great. Close to King Street and a short cab/uber ride to anywhere else. Andrew, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating. The house was clean upon arrival. All in all, I would stay here again.

Clean Unique Listing with Quirks

When I booked this listing which entailed an upstairs & downstairs unit I was told that they were mirror images of each other. Photos show this. Problem is that renovations have been done & there are now twins in 1 room & queen in the “mirror” room. The property manager met us at the homes & walked us thru showing the changes that had been done. But the TVs had been blown from a storm earlier that week & were not fixed. He got 2 of the 4 TVs working that night but never did get the TVs in the bedrooms working. This was a big deal to my 92 year old father-in-law who wanted to watch tv while we had family time. Finally, the updates added a full bath to the master bedrooms. It is a Euro bath for lack of a better term. You can not use the toilet without rubbing the wall beside it. Nice to have a full bath off the master but way to tight of a space to get ready in. Overall the houses were clean & the beds were crazy comfortable.

Perfect Launch Pad for Charleston

The "compound" was the perfect place for our family stay in Charleston (we rented two units for a total of four bedrooms). Two blocks from North King Street, this apartment is an easy walk from all the popular restaurants, shops, and bars. Bright, super clean, spacious, with luxury bedding and plenty of towels! Andrew even provided fresh flowers. A word to light sleepers -- this is in an urban setting so street noise is inherent. We just ran a fan at night for "white noise." Traveler's tip: Charleston has tons of highly acclaimed restaurants (FIG, SNOB, etc.) but we also enjoyed the low key atmosphere and less pricey offerings at The Rarebit, Basil Thai, and Juanita Greenbergs -- all on King Street. Prohibition Bar is a lot of fun, too, and a short walk from the apartment.

Historic Accommodations with Modern Flair

Great location three blocks from restaurants, bars and shopping on King Street. Immaculate accommodations with clean modern interiors. We travel to Charleston often and would highly recommend this property. Parking can be a problem in the downtown area. The site also has ample parking directly in front of the rooms which makes luggage transport very easy.

Beautiful property, great location!

My group and I had a great experience renting this property. We were in town for a quick weekend getaway, since many of us arrived early Friday and left Sunday evening, Andrew was very accommodating in allowing us to get in early and leave late so we wouldn't have to carry our luggage. The property was beautiful and exactly as the pictures showed. The location is 2 blocks from king street, walking distance to several bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Charleston! Thanks for the great stay!!

Great place, location perfect

This place was perfect - very clean! Updated and well done decor, appliances, etc. The beds were very comfortable. It was nice to have everything provided for our short stay(towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap). The access in and checkout was super easy. The location was also perfect, could have walked to most any attraction although we drove mostly. But having its own parking provided made that easy as well. Andrew, the manager provided all the information needed

beautiful home close to king street

Andrew was a wonderful host - quick to respond and very accommodating. We rented the penthouse and the unit below it for 11 girls. We fit very comfortably as each level has 2 bedrooms and a pull out couch. The living space was large enough for all of us to hang out, eat dinner, have some drinks, etc. Very close to King Street. We were able to walk to the Central Market in about 20 minutes. Would definitely stay here again!
