About this property
Cozy English Basement Apartment w/ Private Patio
Summary:
Relax on your private patio and enjoy the convenience of free parking and a fully stocked kitchen. This welcoming 3-bedroom, 3-bath garden-level apartment offers guests easy access to everything Charleston has to offer. Housed in a historic Charleston single home built in the late 1800s, the apartment is just steps from the city’s best shops and restaurants and within walking distance to MUSC and the College of Charleston.
The Space:
The apartment recently underwent a full renovation. Measuring 1,000 square feet, the apartment offers three bedrooms each featuring premium bedding and its own full bathroom with shower. Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all of the amenities of a boutique hotel (bath products, high-end towels and linens, hair dryers, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen and washer/dryer. A private outdoor sitting area on the patio offers visitors another space to spread out and enjoy the fresh air.
One complimentary parking spot is offered for guests in a private parking lot. Additional parking available at $20/day.
Operating Permit: OP2025-06531
Guest Access:
Guests can use the entire garden level unit and the fully private patio. There are no shared surfaces or spaces. We are a family owned and operated business and care very much for our guests experience. We are available to help with recommendations and planning. This apartment is on the lower level of the three-story property. The home features two additional 3 bed, 3 bath rentals on the first and second floors, which can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for larger groups. Please inquire if interested.
The Neighborhood:
This apartment is ideally located in a protected historic district in the heart of downtown Charleston, just a 5-minute walk to Upper King Street and surrounded by amazing restaurants and shops. Some of the top dining spots nearby include Husk, Chubby Fish, Circa 1886, Grill 225, and The Obstinate Daughter. Whether you choose to walk or take a quick Uber, downtown attractions are just minutes away, and you can easily grab a ride to one of the three nearby island beaches, all just 20 minutes away.
Getting Around:
The Charlestonian is just blocks from Upper King Street, making it easy to explore the city on foot. For a scenic ride, hop on the free DASH shuttle, which runs along King Street with stops at popular attractions. Bike rentals and pedicab taxis are also great ways to take in the sights. If you’re in the mood for a beach day, both Folly Beach and Sullivan’s Island are just a 20-minute drive away, offering beautiful shorelines and a perfect escape from the city. Plus, we offer free parking in our lot right across the street for your convenience.

The Garden level property at the Charlestonian was perfect for our weekend away! It was tucked away and private and very spacious inside. The decor was really nicely done and had a certain charm! It was conveniently located to the downtown. Would stay again!

Thank you do much for your review Candice. We enjoyed hosting you and would be thrilled to welcome you back!
We visit Charleston quite a bit and this was one of the better properties. Very nice restaurant on site. Short walking distance to king street. Lots of small coffee shops and breakfast places close by. Would def stay here again.

Thank you so much for visiting us, Lindsay, and for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Nicely decorated, comfy beds, great location. Only downside during our stay there were noisy people overhead. Other than that, great basement apartment!

Had a lovely stay in Charleston. Property was as described with more privacy than expected. The mini-split ACs in each room ensured we were cool even in the heat of the day.

We stayed with 5 girls for a bachelorette's party in Charleston and it was the best location for walking to King Street and other fun locations. It had 2 restaurants close by, a cute bakery and breakfast bagel spot. The place had plenty of room and the management team is the best. Communication was great and they did a great job with questions and items that came up.

This was in the best spot for my friends and I to walk easily to King street and everything we needed was in walking distance or a quick Uber ride. We’re talking about our next trip

Thank you so much for leaving a review! We would love hosting you again at The Charlestonian!
Loved having three bathrooms for our girls trip, with cold water in the fridge when we arrived on a VERY hot August day. We were greeted when we arrived and were even able to check in a few hours early, because your place was ready. Everything was very seamless and the location was perfect for walking to get coffee + bagels in the morning and grabbing a salad + sandwich for lunch.

We are so happy we were able to make your visit to Charleston more special! You are welcome back anytime! :)
We have been coming to Charleston annually for 15 years. Sometimes with husbands but more often with girlfriends. We prefer VRBO to hotels for the benefits of common space for gathering. We loved this spot for the three of us. Cozy and in a great area for walking to so many spots around the historic district, restaurants snd shopping. Will definitely be back!
This was our first time in Charleston and we had an absolute blast. The property was beautiful. The “bungalow” (what we named it) was so adorable! The portion of the house that we stayed in was smaller, but enough room for 3 couples to sleep after a long day of exploring. The manager pleasantly greeted us once we arrived. Overall it was a great trip and we will be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Great location, great place.
Everything about the place was just as advertised.
My only complaint was the check-in process. The door is very hard to open without instructions, which were not provided at check in.
After that was sorted out, everything was great.

Thank you for you comments and for staying with us. I apologize for the door sticking.
Came for a long weekend with friends and loved our stay. The six of us were very comfortable and didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Our host was helpful, attentive and accommodating. The place is only a few blocks away from King St so we walked a lot which we enjoyed since we wanted to explore the city. The kitchen could use some more items for cooking (cutting board, tongs) but overall the place was well stocked, very clean, well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Charleston!

Thank you so much for leaving a review! We would love to host you again at The Charlestonian!
This place was perfect for a group of 6 women. Nice lighting and available outdoor space for a garden level. Very walkable area. Three bathrooms was awesome. Beds were very comfortable. AC worked great. Kitchen was stocked with coffee cream and all the opener items we needed.
Morgan was friendly and helpful! Garden level apartment was immaculate. Location was great downtown. Check-in process was easy. One of the bedrooms is TINY. Very industrial modern vibe with every inch of the small space used efficiently. Great off street parking. This is a pretty space to serve as home base while you are out enjoying the city!
