Property is a little smaller than appears in the photos, but worked perfect for my wife, 7yr old, and myself. Shower is tight so having younger children that need help bathing could be a challenge. Unit was a little humid, but we ran the bathroom fan combined with the a/c on a low setting and that helped quickly. Parking is off street, but larger vehicles may need extra maneuvering. I would definitely rent it again, the location is removed just far enough away from constant noise, but still close enough to walk to a lot of Charlestons sights. Excellent bagel shop right around the corner and MeSu restaurant was a highlight less than a block away.

Parking is easy and convenient. They graciously allowed for an early check in and left us some wine as a gift. Very nice. Easy getting around Charleston. Property is near King St. It is a bit of a walk to get downtown, Took us about 30 min. Very much liked the outdoor seating area, wish it was nicer out to take full advantage of it.Water takes awhile to heat up...it will, be patient.

We appreciate your notes about the walk to downtown and the hot water timing—helpful tips for future guests, and we’ll continue looking for ways to improve the experience. We’d love to host you again, hopefully with even better weather so you can fully enjoy the outdoor space!

The location of the rental was perfect. Every thing was spotless. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. It was great having our own parking spots. Owners could not have been more accommodating! Only downside was the construction going on two blocks away with a pile driver operating eight hours a day. Upstairs renters were very loud but fortunately for only one night. I would still recommend this rental, the pros far outweigh the cons.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the location, the cleanliness, and especially the beds — we put a lot of thought into making sure our guests sleep well! Having dedicated parking in Charleston is such a bonus, and we're thrilled that came in handy for you. We sincerely apologize for the noise disturbances during your stay — unfortunately the construction nearby is outside of our control, but we completely understand how disruptive that can be, and we're sorry it impacted your experience. We also appreciate your patience regarding the noise from upstairs — we take neighbor feedback seriously and will look into it. Despite those hiccups, we're so grateful you would still recommend us and that the positives won the day! We hope to welcome you back to Charleston soon — fingers crossed the pile driver has moved on by then! 😄

My husband and I stayed here with our toddler and it was perfect. It was small, which worked for us, but I wouldn’t stay here with more than a couple and a young child. Everything was within a 30 minute walk, so the location was ideal for us. Two off-street parking spots were available right in front of the unit, though we didn’t need them. The hosts were incredibly responsive. The toilet clogged our first morning and they answered my message right away. It was fixed before we got back from sight seeing that afternoon.
