There is lots of construction in the area so it is noisy and dusty. We enjoyed the shops which are close and the restaurants with delicious food.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the nearby shops and restaurants. As for the construction, it is a bit out of our control since it’s a neighboring project, and the listing was updated prior to your booking to reflect that. We really appreciate your understanding and hope you still had a great time overall!
Stayed for 3 days. Right next to King St with walking distance to restaurants and shops. House was very comfortable and had well stocked kitchen and complimentary coffee. 2 bathrooms. Would love to have had an electric tea kettle for the tea drinker in our group. Yourpad runs the service and we’re very responsive.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the comfortable home, well-stocked kitchen, and the convenience of being so close to King Street. We appreciate your suggestion about adding an electric tea kettle - that’s really helpful feedback and we’ll share it with our team. We’re also glad you had a positive experience with our responsiveness. We’d love to welcome you back again!
Nice property; very clean and good amenities. Having 2 bathrooms and 2 full baths was great. The stairs to get in are a bit steep and not ideal with luggage in tow, but manageable. The master bath floor is also uneven (sloped), but its nicely sized. As others have noted, there is construction noise, but since we were out and about during the day it was not an issue. At night you can hear outside noise, but the provided sound machines help a lot. Location near King Street is great - nice walk to historical areas. Host is very communicative and helpful. Overall, we had nice stay and enjoyed our time. Would stay in another YOURPAD property again.

Hello, thank you for your review and feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found the property clean with great amenities. Our housekeeping team takes pride in their cleanliness, so it’s wonderful to hear! As with many Charleston historic homes, there are a few charming quirks, but we’re glad they didn’t get in the way of your experience. We’d love to host you at another YourPad property soon!
Our host has been so kind and welcoming. The communication was excellent throughout our stay. Our apartment was very accommodating and clean. This experience has been wonderful. Thank you for your hospitality.
Three-person girls trip for a long weekend, and it was a lovely experience. The single off-street parking spot was very close and convenient. The rooms were clean, had modern charm over the underlying historical feel of the building, and we especially loved the large kitchen for gathering. The larger bathroom off the master bedroom was easy to share...lots of room to spread out toiletries (which is rare), and a deep tub for some luxury soaking. Plenty of towels provided (also rare). They did a great job with truth in advertising...yes, it's quite loud overnight on weekends being right off King Street (bring earplugs!) and, yes, the stairs may feel tricky for some. But the location was a reasonable tradeoff for these things. So many great restaurants and stores within a 5-10 minute walk, with easy and attractive access through the quieter backstreets to avoid the construction along King. We were able to walk to the more popular heart of historical downtown with a fairly relaxed 30 minute walk, and there are a decent number of parking garages around as well. We also got very quick and helpful responses to a couple of pre-trip questions. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Thank you for such a thoughtful and balanced review! We’re so happy to hear your group enjoyed the home, the spacious kitchen, and the comfort of the master suite - especially the extra space and soaking tub. Our housekeeping team takes pride in their cleanliness so that is wonderful to hear! Parking in Charleston is pretty rare so we’re happy to hear we could accommodate and make your stay more convenient. There will be some city noise everywhere downtown, but our travelers have always loved the location of the rental as it truly allows you to walk everywhere downtown and experience the city. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again!
We loved our stay here! It was an amazing location within a short distance to everything. The apartment was adorable and very clean! We loved the space and how willing the hosts were to make our stay amazing!

Host’s communication was great. The place worked great for our quick stay. Be aware, it is an old house. Floors are not level, steep stairs and parking spot is a few houses down. It is in a great central location. We have stayed in this neighborhood before, the college students can be quite noisy in the middle of the night (absolutely not the host’s fault).

Construction chaos
Our stay here was OK. It’s a older home with older problems! The construction that was going on across the street and in the streets, made it difficult to get into the place. I would not recommend this place to an older couple the stairs are very steep to get in!

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, Kimberly. We’re sorry to hear that parts of your stay didn’t meet expectations. The home does have some historic charm, which can come with a few quirks, and we understand how the steep stairs and nearby construction made things less convenient—especially for older guests. We really appreciate your honesty, and we’ll be sure to keep this in mind as we continue working to improve the experience for all our guests.
Very charming, well-appointed flat. Surprisingly spacious inside with a great kitchen and main bath. Beds were very comfy and plenty of linens/towels for our group of 6. Quick walk to King Street. One reserved parking spot near unit was taken when we arrived but communication with property manager was quick and issue resolved in no time. Great stay!

This is an older property that is in decent shape. The 2 issues we had were the noise and the water pressure. This is a very noisy location not only from college student activity very late at night, but also from a massive construction profect directly across the street. The water pressure is extremely low. To get warm water takes effort. The sinks and showers have to run for several minutes to get any hot water. And it comes out as only a trickle. A challenge to soap uo and rinse. This is a very interesting city to spend time in with a wide variety of things to see, places to eat and active night life. But i cannot give this housing 5 stars.

Hi Joanne, thank you for your feedback! As for the construction, that’s unfortunately a neighboring project outside of our control, but we did update the listing to reflect this before your booking. Being a historic home, it can sometimes take a bit of time to get warm water flowing, and we appreciate your patience with that. While there is some city noise downtown especially with the lively nightlife - our travelers have always loved the location because it lets you walk everywhere and really experience Charleston. We truly appreciate your honest review and hope to make improvements where we can.
This residence is not easily accessible for the handicapped. We chose this place because we felt everything is on one floor. There are several stairs leading into the apartment and once in, the floors were uneven. I had family members that were blind with a heart condition and the other member with an amputee which we had to be careful of falling. I was also suprised that several of the dishes were chipped and the throw pillow on the bed was dirty. I expected more from a VRBO property.

I wish they would have told us that construction was going on right across the street. No need for an alarm clock because the banging started promptly at the same time very early each morning. It’s an old house so you can hear everything - cars, people talking outside walking by, etc. They did provide noise machines but the one in the master did not work. Had to use my phone instead. It’s right off of King street and I would say fairly close to everything. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay any further north. We felt safe walking around and the parking spot down the street was convenient. I would say pictures were accurate but the bathroom in the master has a major down slope to it. We didn’t like that. The stairs leading up to the condo were a little sketchy. Definitely wanted to be careful at night time going up and down the stairs. Overall, regardless of the few negatives we still had a fun and memorable trip to Charleston.

Thank you for your feedback, Linda! We're so glad to hear you had a fun and memorable trip to Charleston despite a few challenges. We always aim to be transparent, and we've since updated the listing to include a construction advisory for future guests. We're truly sorry about the early morning noise—unfortunately, that’s out of our control, but we completely understand how disruptive it can be. Also, thank you for pointing out the noise machine issue—our team is available 24/7 and would’ve been more than happy to drop off a replacement had we known. We appreciate your insights on the stairs and bathroom layout as well, and we’ll take that into consideration for improvements. Thanks again for staying with us!
This worked out to be a great place for my family of 5 and small dog to stay during c of c graduation/Mother’s Day weekend. I was confused about the parking situation because when I read the instructions that said to park behind a house 3 doors down I didn’t realize that it was telling me a different house number than the one we rented. A quick call sorted that out and it was fine. A heads up about the outdoors stairs being steep may have been helpful but not a deal breaker by any means. The lighting above said stairs was an issue as we couldn’t find switch or the lights were out. (We could have but didn’t ask about this during our stay) other minor things that would have been helpful would have been hooks in smaller bathroom (or a towel bar to hang wet towels) and a mirror in the front bedroom. Other than those minor issues the location made up for everything els!! We never saw the artist who owns the studio downstairs which was helpful as our small dog may have been anxious about other noise in the building. The hosts were very quick to respond to a few minor questions. I asked the day before our arrival if we might get in early and the response was “well alert you if you are able to.” I figured that meant “no” and let that go. What a nice surprise at about 2pm to get a notification that we could go in. I would for sure stay here or rent with this host in the future.
