Anniversary Weekend Trip

We loved our stay, especially the location. It is within walking distance of some great restaurants. Our favorite was the one located in the basement that serves homemade soups and sandwiches. It is a small space but has everything you need for a romantic weekend getaway. The owners have done a beautiful job restoring the historical home.

Great stay

The place and location were amazing. Exactly what we expected and looking for. The post was transparent about the stairs and size. You need to understand that you will go down a spiral staircase with luggage. You need to understand that the room and shower is smaller than a standard hotel room. If you understand and accept those items, the place is amazing. If you don't have an understanding of them, you could be disappointed. We loved the place. It's a great vibe and in a great location - close to King St but away and quiet. We would 100% go back. Thank you for a great stay.

Disappointing stay and NO hot tub!

We did not receive any check in information and therefore had to call the property manager to get in. He was wonderful and right across the street but we felt we should have been given the information before hand. The unit is TINY - small would be too large a word but it is beautiful. I would recommend it for a single traveler with an overnight bag. There is no room for clothes to be hung up (no closet space). The water never gets above warm (we called and a plumber came but did nothing to help the temperature). We had to park behind vehicles for three of the four nights we were there because there is only room for three vehicles and the parking is shared with other units. Lastly and likely the biggest disappointment was that there is NOT a hot tub or a spa as advertised. Downtown is not what I would call walking distance but it is a short drive. This was my husband’s birthday and we gave up a room at the Market Pavillon right downtown to stay here. It was a fine stay but we can’t help but feel it would have been so much better if we stayed in our original spot.

Fabulous use of space. The unit is small and was a bit tight for the two of us but we managed. The saving grace is the patio space. We loved it. A great place for coffee in the am and wine after a day of touring. The owners are wonderful and so responsive. A note, if you have any mobility issues, this unit is below ground and there is a tight a spiral staircase going down to the unit.

SUERP Charming Spot!

This was an absolutely beautiful spot! Incredibly well done on all of the custom work to make this little spot the gem that it is! But do note, it's a pretty tight little unit. The kitchen area is a little bigger than a closet. The bathroom is average sized but still a bit awkward with the layout and tight shower. The main room doesn't have anything in terms of storage space, so I wouldn't recommend booking here if you're staying a long time and would need a dresser or space for anything more than a weekend/carryon bag. The outside patio area is super cool as well, with seating for 5-6 even though the unit can't accommodate more than 2 people staying there. The hosts were also super nice. Overall - 12/10. Would definitely stay here again! Just be aware that it's extremely cozy inside.

This property is in an ideal location to visit and view all of the historical sites (the Battery, the Citadel), historical buildings, architecture. The renowned "Market", eateries to satisfy every appetite, live bands, tours. BUT....most of all, the aforementioned places and sites are all within walking distance from this beautifully crafted very reasonable apartment. Did I mention the homemade soup and sandwich shop in the basement of the building? The site is my choice for my next vacation to Charleston as well. The hostest was very kind

First time in Charleston

The property looked exactly how it was pictured. It was super cute (maybe not always the best for tall people), but it was a great place to stay in (we were adventuring most of the time). You had all of the kitchen type things that you would need and that was so fantastic, along with body wash, conditioner, and shampoo! The reason why I do not highly rate the property is ease of access upon arrival. I clearly communicated with George as to when our flight was taking off at first, when our connecting flight took off, when we finally landed in Charleston and when we would arrive according to lyft. He never responded and I was then nervous. It was a tad hard to find the property since it was behind a restaurant, but once we arrived no one was there. There was no keyless entry. I contacted George on the app; he did not respond. I then found his phone number, he told me he was at Lowe’s and was so sorry. Someone arrived and let us in and gave us the key. George came later and apologized. I do understand that it was a sincere apology, however can you please invest in keyless entry? No one wants this dilemma after traveling for hours.
