Very clean, nice house...the only issue we had was the bachelorette group above us who clomped around all day and night. the kitchen was stocked with coffee pods and creamers, bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and hand soap. Nice comfortable king size beds and pillows. Also nice thick towels. it was very hot and humid, so we took an Uber most of the time

We traveled to Charleston for a ladies trip. Though the house is technically walking distance to King Street we opted to drive or uber due to the heat/humidity. Very cute neighborhood and easy to get around. The house was very clean, comfortable beds and nice linens. Kitchen is well equipped. General lack of comfortable seating in living area if you have more than 4-5 people as we did. Otherwise the house was great and we had a wonderful time!
