Southern Charm

My daughter and I stayed at this charming suite over the Mother's Day weekend and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations! Its checks all the boxes: convenience, comfort, hospitality, communication with the host, value, etc. Located within easy walking distance to the city's King Street with its bars, shops and restaurants, the suite sported tasteful and welcoming furnishings, super comfortable bed, and clean linens. Additional extras like robes, house slippers, and a bottle of wine were like icing on the cake! Thank you, Karen, for hosting us! I would definitely recommend her property for your Charleston stay!

Visit

The room was amazing and fit our needs. We appreciated the welcome wine Karen our host was a blessing to deal with and always was prompt with a response. The parking was a little tight, but we were able to manage it with no difficulties. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Charleston at the parson Inn.

Okay for what it was

The room was okay, but over scented - bedding in particular - not great for those with sensitive noses. The bathroom was difficult to manage - too small. It's basically a bathroom inside of a shower and so if you want to use the shower, you have to put everything else away - including TP - so it doesn't get wet. Location was average, but not quiet as it's across from the hospital. We head sirens and medivac helicopters both nights.

A Great Getaway

My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at this place. Karen was responsive, and the inside of the property is so cute! The wet room wasn’t an issue for either of us, and my boyfriend is 6’4 and was able to easily maneuver in the shower. The only slight issue we had was parking. We went in an average sized SUV and parking was tight time to time, but not a dealbreaker. We walked into downtown Charleston, and it is about a 40 minute walk to King Street, and we never felt unsafe while walking, even at night. Overall it was a great stay, and the host even provided a bottle of wine which was a nice touch! I would recommend this property.

First experience with VRBO

Our stay in Charleston was very enjoyable, and the property was clean, and as expected. Also appreciated the private, on site, no charge parking. That alone is worth $50-$100 dollars a night depending on where you are! And to top it off, our plans changed at the last minute and we had to leave two days earlier than planned, and our hostess gave us a very generous refund, even though she was not obligated to and we did not ask for or expect it. Excellent experience all the way around.

Less than expected

If you enjoy bathroom privacy, this is not the place for you. The “door” to the bathroom is a clear glass shower door. There is a curtain that can be pulled but any sounds or odors that may be emitted are not contained to the room, and there is no exhaust fan. There is very limited seating. A bench at the end of the bed. I would suggest providing a folding chair or two and perhaps a TV tray. Upon entering the building, there are a few steps to climb with no hand rail. I have hip problems and found it difficult to get up the stairs without a rail to hold . On the positive side, the location is good. It’s very close to the bus stop which made it convenient to go into town without the hassle of parking. The room was clean. We read reviews about this room being noisy due to its proximity to the front door, but we did not find that to be a problem. Communication with the owner was a little difficult when she was attempting to send us her phone number as VRBO doesn’t publish phone numbers. But, she was creative and was able to get us the needed information. This rental was adequate for 2 nights, but not very comfortable.

Charming small room

Lovely room about a mile northwest of most of downtown Charleston. “Wet room” was interesting—shower, toilet and small sink in one area, would not be comfortable for a larger person though we were fine with it. Bed was very comfortable but there was nowhere else to sit. Small for the $ we paid. Charming, though.

100% recommend

The room was beautiful and having our own bathroom was a major perk! Towels, body wash, and shampoo & conditioner were all provided, along with a bottle of wine! Location was perfect and everything we wanted to do was nearby. We travelled by car which was nice to have when going to Folly Beach for the day, but other than that we did not need our car. The Medical University of SC is nearby so you will hear sirens, but there is a sound machine in the room and ear plugs if needed. The Charleston room is right by the front entrance so you will hear people come and go, but it wasn't bothersome for my partner or I. Overall, it was a great place to stay for our first time in Charleston and we would definitely recommend it!
