We spent a week in historic Charleston, and our 96 Market St studio apt was perfect! Right across the street from the City Market, and within walking distance of EVERYTHING this district has to offer. There's a small, but very convenient kitchenette in the room with microwave, sink, med size fridge, counter space, a few dishes, silverware, mugs for coffee,and a little table w 2 chairs to enjoy meals in the room together. Windows look right out on Market St. It really is a fantastic location.

I came here with my Mom who is about to turn 70. It is in a great location by the market. There is a long stairway up to the room, but that wasn’t an issue for us. Loved the shower floor texture and the code locks. Had a great stay!

Our stay at Terri and Carlos’s property was fantastic. They were both very communicative and hospitable. The home was exceptionally well located. Right next to the city market, surrounded by great restaurants, shops places to grab tasty snack. As a bonus there is a Target just a few blocks down the street along spectacular King Street shopping District. Charlestown itself is spectacular and Carlos and Terri recommended some wonderful ways to engage with the city, it’s history and it’s culture.

About the host

Hosted by Terri and Carl

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.
