A cute little place, big enough for 2, close enough to walk or ride a bicycle to see the sights but far enough away to avoid the noise and traffic. Would definitely stay here again.

Parking and communication from the host was fantastic! Very close walking distance to everything and the property met all of our needs with regards to a weekend get away. The only thing that did not warrant a perfect rating is the outdated characteristics of the property itself. The appliances are all from the 1990’s as well as the furniture. I felt as though I was in a college student rental….Shower fixtures leak and are loose, water damaged floors, outdated toilets, the furniture gives off college dorm vibes and not really a romantic get away…. With that being said, the price was fair and the property was still a great stay. I would recommend them to anyone staying in the area. 4.5 out of 5 for sure!!

The cottage was located in a good neighborhood. In walking distance of everything Charleston has to offer. While the cottage is described as historic, we were disappointed by the property’s condition. Every wall was scuffed, blinds didn’t work, light bulb burned out, kitchen in need of upgrades. The outside of the home looks like it’s in foreclosure. Host did offer to replace the light bulb. We left a day early.
