The cottage was located in a good neighborhood. In walking distance of everything Charleston has to offer. While the cottage is described as historic, we were disappointed by the property’s condition. Every wall was scuffed, blinds didn’t work, light bulb burned out, kitchen in need of upgrades. The outside of the home looks like it’s in foreclosure. Host did offer to replace the light bulb. We left a day early.

Central location with responsive host.You’re staying in an older home, so expect noisy floorboards and stairs.The interior is well maintained and kitchen felt clean.The memory foam mattress is a bit worn down, so you have to find your spot or move a lot through the night (we were achy after first night). Most of the blinds won’t open, leaving the downstairs fairly dark.It was a great last minute find after the holidays.Off street parking was a big plus.

We loved the location as we were within walking distance of much of what we had planned throughout downtown. The neighborhood is quiet and the apartment itself is cozy while offering plenty of space for two people to lounge in comfortably. As other reviews noted, the loft area does get warmer than the rest of the house, but the box fan provided made the nights comfortable for sleeping.

The host was very responsive and the kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed. The chain on the toilet was broken, so we had to flush manually. The host did offer to fix it within an hour of us reporting it, which was good, but didn’t work with our schedule. I do think the price for this property is a little high, given the condition of the floors. Also, I’m not sure the bed is actually a queen; it felt more like a full.
