Great location and very pet friendly

We enjoyed our stay within walking distance to many places and a short drive to downtown Charleston. Very pet friendly property with an enclosed area that made it easier to walk our small dogs in an unfamiliar area. Appreciate the quick response when we had questions.

Location is great

The location was great we walked to eat and get coffee! It is pet friendly however you will need to walk your dog! Also the front door does not lock or unlock with the key so you will need to go out the side door during your stay! Furthermore there is another property behind the house it’s an apartment above the garage. This is not in the description of the property…we didn’t have a problem because we only drove two vehicles but if you need all three spaces you won’t have access to them since the people in the apartment park there. Overall, a great location to stay for a Charleston visit!
