We had a lovely stay in Charleston! The location was great being right across from the City Market and on the Carta bus line. Between walking and taking the bus, we were able to get around easily and enjoy the area. The hosts were very responsive and easy to get in touch with. It was a great visit!

Nicole, being steps from the City Market with the Carta line right there makes the whole city feel easy to navigate, and it sounds like you made the most of both. Hope Charleston pulls you back soon.

This studio was perfect for my stay in Charleston. I was traveling alone and the apartment was conveniently located near everything I needed to do, I could walk to restaurants, my workshop, waterfront park, and the Harris teeter grocery store. I felt very safe here.

Unit was exactly as described. Outside traffic noise was not as bad as we thought it would be. Only issue which is not the property owners problem is the loading and unloading process. It’s simply that the location is right in the heart of downtown and streets are cramped and very busy with foot and vehicle traffic. Parking deck is only a block away and it felt safe. Location is perfect for exploring the area on foot so bring your walking shoes!

About the host

Hosted by Stay Lowcountry

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

We act as your personal concierge and are delighted to assist you in making your trip to Charleston a most memorable experience in every way! We want to be your home away from home.

In addition to our luxurious and charming suite, with top of the line bedding, we also have a bistro table and 2 dining chairs in our suite.

There is an iron and ironing board, blow dryer, a Bose Bluetooth Speaker, and a White Noise machine.

We are located in the very heart of the city surrounded by restaurants, shops and tourist destinations. Horse carriages, trolley busses and visitor traffic, especially on the weekends are part of being in the Market area. Occasional garbage trucks in the mornings and cleaning crews pressure washing the streets are to be expected.
