Beautiful week in Charleston!

A great place to stay with my daughter and her two teen-aged daughters! The double-high open space was a wonderful place to hang while others were making brunch, watching a film, playing a game, or reading. Teens were upstairs in a king bed and had their own bath; downstairs, the shower had its own room.Location was on a busy street but the historic house is shielded by beautiful trees and the neighborhood was historically interesting. A comfortable walk to points of interest and lovely relaxing place to stay.

Great location with a short walk to restaurants and shops on King Street. Plenty of room for 3 couples in town to celebrate a birthday. Kitchen had all the amenities we needed for mixing cocktails and morning coffee. Refrigerator was under sized for a place of this size and didn’t have an ice maker. Bedrooms were comfortable. Master bathroom had huge walk in shower with bath tub in size. Water pressure in the hall bathroom was very low. Overall it was perfect for a long weekend.

Excellent! We loved everything! Great location and sound machines were very helpful as in town location can be a bit noisy. Quite a walk to get to King Street as it was cold outside but Uber was readily available. Everything was provided & in great working order. An ice maker would have been nice in freezer but not a big deal at all. Parking was also very tight but manageable. All in all, highly recommended!
