Fantastic Location

Room was exactly like the photos. Good value compared to some hotels in the area. Was nice to have a kitchenette. AC kept up with the hot days. Walkable distance to basically everything you'd want to see on the peninsula. There is nightime noise and light associated with being downtwon, but a good sleep mask and white noise app and we both slept great!

Host profile image
While visiting the area in 1998 we fell in love with the charm of this historic city and its surroundings, the Southern hospitality and relaxed lifestyle and decided to move here and make it our home! We love it more each year.

Why they chose this property

The location is second to none! This is the VERY BEST location in downtown Charleston! We are immediately surrounded by lots of restaurants, shops and historical sites. Although we provide discounted parking at a nearby parking garage, you won't need a car to explore all that downtown had to offer as most everything is within easy walking distance.

What makes this property unique

Our building has 2 vacation rentals and a food retail on the ground floor only. Each vacation rental has its own floor.
There is a complimentary trolley that stops immediately in front of our building. Bike taxis and horse drawn carriages are a popular way of getting around and discovering Charleston's historic treasures and landmarks.
