The room was just as described. Very comfortable, cool air, comfy bed and walking distance to everything(if you have trouble walking long distances you may want to drive or uber). Karen was very nice and responded quickly. The room was very charming and had everything we needed. The wet room was NOT a problem at all. Plenty of space.

We stayed here for our anniversary trip to Charleston and overall had a good experience. The owner was very friendly and responsive, and you can tell they care about the property and guests. The location was convenient and the historic charm of the home was nice.That being said, there are definitely a few things that need to be upgraded or better maintained. We had issues with the toilet, ceiling fan, towels, and some safety concerns with the curtain setup and door coverings. While none of it completely ruined the trip, it did make the stay less comfortable than we expected.I do believe the owner would have tried to address the issues if we had reached out during the stay, and I appreciate their kindness afterward. With a few updates and attention to maintenance details, this place could really be wonderful.

Very cute room with very convenient parking. The communication from the host was great! Only note is that the Inn and surround area is very loud. We could hear movement from other residents easily and also were woken up early by street cleaning or sirens both nights. The location was great and very walkable.

This was great and accessible by walking to major areas of town while feeling very safe. The only issue we had is that the water from the shower/water closet leaks out a bit into the room when you bathe but we just put down some extra towels to solve that!

Lovely room in beautifully restored house with great bed and AC. 10 minute walk to Holey Bagels (the best breakfast sandwiches!) and another 10 to King Street. If you have a car, there is plenty of public parking so easy to just drive to waterfront park or aquarium. We had a wonderful time and Karen was an excellent host!!

The room was super cute, clean, and welcoming! There were snacks, towels, robes, and a free parking spot provided. The bathroom is a small wet room but for a short weekend stay it was no problem at all. Since it is an “inn” you can hear other tenants walking around and sometimes talking. The host was very welcoming and responsive!

The stay was okay for maybe --2 nights. Any longer, the tiny shower / commode combo became a bit much. You have to master that whole situation. The room was as described. I would add a comfortable chair for seating. The bench seating is not suitable.

The room was amazing and fit our needs. We appreciated the welcome wine Karen our host was a blessing to deal with and always was prompt with a response. The parking was a little tight, but we were able to manage it with no difficulties. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Charleston at the parson Inn.

We were very disappointed, blood stains on the bed cover ,the commode & bath sink was inside the shower , no table or seating area . Asked for a refund but the host refused . False advertisement and unethical . Please don’t stay here . We didn’t stay we found a motel room

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 7, 2025
I was equally disappointed to see that a guest would write a review that is absolutely without merit. Our cleaners are held to the highest standards of cleanliness. ALL bedding is changed after each stay, and pictures are taken of the cleaned room. Management also conducts an inspection. We found NO evidence of blood stains on the bed cover. The newly renovated bathroom is a small, modern space that features a sink inside the shower. This style is quite common in many hotels and homes, but perhaps it was the first time the guests had seen this. We, however, have plenty of pictures that depict the bathroom as it is. There is no false advertising on our rental. It is exactly as depicted in the listing. There isn't a table, but there is a tray for meals and a very large bench at the end of the bed as a seating area. We also provide complimentary wine and snacks, as well as eating utensils and dinnerware. The guests did not contact us until after they left. I immediately asked if they could provide me with a picture. They never responded, and I have not heard from them at all, aside from this review. It is unfortunate that they had to find a "motel" room in the area. If given the opportunity, we would have been able to find address any issues or find accommodations that suited them perfectly, as we have several great options.
