My son and I very much enjoyed our one-night stay!The accommodations were clean, safe and very comfortable. The beds and furniture were great. We had everything we needed. Communication from the hosts was clear and complete and timely.I had shared with our hosts that we were in town for a funeral, and they exceeded my expectations by leaving a beautiful bouquet with a personal note of condolences. Very sweet touch - much appreciated!There is a nice cafe for breakfast, just a short walk around the town square.

Beautifully restored loft with lots of cozy touches and personality. Clean and well stocked. Very responsive host. Walking distance to many eating places (WB’s has a good breakfast) and a couple of bars (didn’t frequent any of those though). Would recommend, and would stay again if ever back in Charleston.
