Historic Charleston Charm blends original period architecture with modern conveniences, creating a warm and inviting base for your stay. Ideal for those who love charm, comfort, walkability, and character in every detail.

This 1830's single style residence has high ceilings, gleaming heart pine floors, and original mantled fireplaces that help give our guests a true Charleston experience. This apartment is located on the second floor of the house. The bedrooms are set at either end of the apartment, giving guests privacy during their stay.

The apartment has a large piazza and off street parking. It is located only a block away from three popular restaurants, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Bistronomy By Nico and Fuel. Walk about 5 blocks and you will be on King Street with many of Charleston's favorite new restaurants and boutiques.

The Elliotborough/Cannonborough district of downtown Charleston. With its friendly neighbors, cozy restaurants, and tree lined streets, our neighborhood will immerse you in Charleston’s classic charm.

Popular dining spots in the neighborhood include Xiao Bao Biscuit, Fuel, Porchetta Shop, Southbound, R Kitchen, Chubby Fish and many more! Our guests and neighbors also rave about Welton's Tiny Bakeshop and Kudu Coffee. We recommend going to either for a cup of locally-roasted coffee or their delicious cookies and cakes. The house is only a short walk from the very popular King Street where you will find a multitude of great shops – including antique shops, book stores and fashion boutiques – as well as endless buzzing restaurants and bars.

The unit is in a very run-down two story “single house” style home. The outside stairs and walkway are in need of repair. Paint peeling. Just an unfortunate first impression. Inside, the unit is clean. A tea kettle was provided (I had asked but was told I could bring my own). This would have been a nice touch, but the tea kettle has rust inside. I used a saucepan instead. The beds are comfortable, but nothing else is. There is no kitchen table to eat a meal. The living room furniture includes a small, stained sofa and two small chairs with no comfortable way to watch tv. The bathroom is clean and has the necessities. But toilet is so low to the ground. Very awkward. If you have knee problems, be careful! And you have to be very careful with uneven flooring, especially in the hall outside the bathroom which is lower than the bathroom floor or the living room and bedroom floors on either side of it, and the back bedroom floor slopes down to one side. Seems like an architectural hazard. The location was also very disappointing. It really is not convenient to walk to the most desirable parts of town. And driving on these very narrow streets is not for the faint of heart. Parking is very expensive, too. We did walk to Publix once which required traveling through littered, busy streets. It felt unsafe. As I mentioned, the beds are comfortable, and they provide white noise machines, but these are needed because there was a lot of street noise at times.

The stay was overall disappointing. From the pictures on the listing, you would never know how drab and sad this place looks. The entire place was given the “landlord special” with a slab of paint covering every imperfection. Still though, there was chipping paint, very uneven floors, and abysmal decor. The house feels like someone just learned what a living space was and put in the bare essentials. From the moment you pull up, you can see chipping paint and worn vinyl siding- my wife and I wondered if we were even at the right place. The entire place smelled strongly of cleaning product when we first arrived, but it faded after a while and the smell of the place was that of mildew or just old house. I know it’s Charleston and a historic building, but compared to the pictures in the listing, there’s just no comparison. Would not return and would not recommend.

Perfect Location

Perfect place to stay if you want to be close to literally everything. 10 minutes to the marketplace, 8 minutes to downtown Charleston, 15 minutes to shem creek, 13 minutes to patriots point, 20 minutes to the beach. Only thing I would add, is make sure you bring a midsize SUV or smaller if staying here. I brought my truck, and it was a little tight to park. Still can't really complain about free parking on sight. Just more of PSA.

The house from the outside was very shabby- paint peeling and poorly maintained stairs and railings. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable, with poor lighting.
