Nice getaway

The house was clean, cozy and in the perfect location—not too close to the busy part of town, so it was quiet, yet close enough that it was quick and easy to either use the Carta shuttle or quickly drive downtown. The beds (and especially the pillows!) were the most comfortable I’ve had in a long time. We loved it and would stay there again.

Great location, cute small space :)

Everything was great except a few hiccups: there were dishes in the dishwasher when we got there and a lot of bugs (gnats/mosquitos) in the house. Also some dead bugs on the stairwell.

Upper King St. Cottage

The cottage was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location made it easy to walk to all the restaurants on King, and Spring streets. There is a huge construction site nearby and they were driving piles starting at 7:30am until 4:39 pm, so the noise was more than a little bothersome.

Great Stay in Nicely Equipped Unit

This is a nice little house. Open plan on the first floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. It's nicely equipped, spacious on the 1st floor, and everything was very clean. The only negative comment we have is that there's some noise: Next door's AC unit (or whatever it is) is quite loud and there's a construction site in action on weekdays from 7:30 AM (it's now mid-March, 2025). We had a great stay, walking/bus/Uber to downtown and enjoying this beautiful city.

A walker’s dream

This spot was in a surprisingly perfect location. Right down the block from one of the best new restaurants in the city and two blocks from another gem. It was exactly a two mile walk down king street to the waterfront with all the other sights in between. The condo was perfect for 2 people. I think it would be tight with 4. But well appointed and comfortable

Great Location!

The location is the biggest selling point for this property. Beds are comfortable. The high top table setup and living room seating... not so much. The outdoor patio is a cozy spot for relaxing. Overall, the property is beautifully decorated and as pictured. Lots of hot water and having the washer/dryer was a plus. We enjoyed our stay and were able to walk everywhere! The pizza shop on the corner is delicious and Island Provisions serves nice breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The location is close to all the shops/restaurants on King, but on a street much quieter than King. Perfect for a short getaway.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and took full advantage of the walkable location Marilyn! It sounds like you found some great local spots—Island Provisions and that pizza shop are definitely guest favorites. We appreciate your feedback on the seating and will take it into consideration as we continue to enhance the space. It’s wonderful to hear the outdoor patio was a cozy retreat and that the amenities made your stay even more comfortable. We’d love to host you again for another Charleston getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Stay Duvet

Host profile image
I love traveling, my family, my dog, green tea, coffee, sushi, making music, nutrition, reading, meeting new people, and living life to the fullest. I work for Yelp and put on public events in Charleston. I've lived in Atlanta, GA; Los Angeles, CA; Jupiter, FL; Chattanooga, TN; New Haven, CT; Athens, GA; and now I live in Charleston, SC and NEVER want to leave.

I live by the motto "Leave nothing behind but good will". I'm a big believer in karma and care about quality control in what I do. I hope to not only be a good host, but your friend and guide (if needed) during your stay here in the best city in America :) I want you to also see whats good in the locals eyes and not just what is marketed to the tourists.

What makes this property unique

This unit does not have off-street parking. The driveway is for Unit A only.

However there is parking just a few blocks away, we recommend using either the 558 King Street Garage OR the Visitor Center Garage located at 73 Mary Street.

It generally costs $18 dollars/day and is very centrally located to most all things downtown.
