Beautifully done home, plenty of space for 2 couples. Loved that the bedrooms and bathrooms were separated by the common areas (kitchen and living room). Located 1 block off of King street makes it very easy to walk to a multitude of restaurants and coffee shops. It is also close to the King street shopping district and many beautiful church buildings. Highly recommend if you want to be in the middle of the city with all it has to offer. But with that you will have all the city noises. The bars and restaurants in the alley adjacent are quite loud in the evenings and wee hours of the morning…and trash pick up was incredibly loud on the street (the wall/windows the king bed is on). But if you want to be close to all that King Street has to offer, then you will need to expect this. The beds were very comfortable, nice sheets and towels, and bathrooms/kitchen were very clean. The management company was very responsive and communications regarding check-in and info for the stay were great. Only had minor issue of the internet not being great on 2 of the days of our stay and a few items were missing…paper towels and coffee filters. We would stay here again.

This was a great location for our group! We found it very spacious and convenient. As others have mentioned it can be noisy at night but using earplugs and being generally tired from the day helped a lot. It was a little annoying that you had to call the property management ahead of your stay for questions but it all worked out!

We loved this precious apartment. Check in was very easy. Very quick and reliable communication throughout. Super clean. Beautiful decor. Fell in love with the floors!! We were helping my daughter move houses and it was so very nice to come home each day, exhausted, to this beautiful oasis. Made it all bearable. Beds were very comfortable. Super nice bathrooms. We arrived on a Sunday and the bar on King was hopping but just like it is stated in the description, it stopped right at 11pm so that was fine with us. Remained quiet until we checked out on Wed am. Hoping to rent again sometime! Thanks!

Downtown Charleston House
Beautiful house to stay in, check in/out process was very easy and seamless and the house was very clean. The construction was sometimes annoying but the property owner can’t do anything to help that and most homes in the area will experience the same noises.

Beautiful Space Steps from King Street
Wonderful stay! Easy check-in and check-out process, space was just as pictured, very cute and spacious, and the space was clean! Came to Charleston with friends for the weekend, this place is so convenient to the main strip (King Street). Only note you can hear the bars if you really listen at night, however everything is closed by 2am and it never kept us awake. We will definitely be coming back!

Lovely Historic Home Right Off King Street
Darling home with lots of space. Such a short walk to King Street. Great off street parking in the back. Nice touches like extra towels and laundry soap provided. Ideal for vacationing in Charleston. The bar behind the property is noisy. They were only loud on the weekend. We brought ear plugs and that helped. Would also recommend bringing a portable speaker to play music or white noise. But honestly, the location, price and property were worth the small inconvenience.
Also, great host who gave lots of communication.

Charleston family vacation
We had a fantastic family vacation. There was 6 of us for a week and we had the bottom floor of the house. The house had everything you need and the beds very comfortable. The location was perfect for us. Bagel and ice cream shop across the street. Literally right next to King Street where you can walk to everything. We were here over Memorial Day weekend and the bar Uptown Social was very close by and you could hear the music until the early hours. We were ok with it but others might not be. We highly recommend this home.
