Great location that is very walkable to many areas in the city. Host provides a parking pass that allows you to park anywhere in zone C - which makes it easy to park near the unit and also to drive and park to nearby spots. Communication with the host was good with clear check-in/checkout instructions and the host even texted us when there was some flooding on the street (happens occasionally in Charleston) and directing us where to park. We didn't spend a lot of time inside, honestly, but the bed was comfortable and kitchen had essentials. I think the look is true to the pictures on the website. One small note - the bathroom and shower is really tiny, so be aware of that if you are a large person. Enjoyed our stay in Charleston!

Stayed during College of Charleston move-in weekend. We absolutely loved our stay at Lily’s Pad on Rutledge! Cozy, spotless, and full of Charleston charm—felt like a sweet little hideaway in the heart of the city. The bed was as comfy as a porch swing on a sunny afternoon, and the host made everything easy and welcoming. Y’all, this place is a gem!
