Great place to stay!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The sofa was large and comfortable enough for an adult to sleep on. The home was updated and decorated nicely. There was plenty of room for 6 people. The street was quiet and safe. There was a nice "visitors parking" spot on the property. The owner responded quickly and went out of his way to accommodate our request. We would stay here again.

Wonderful house in Charleston
We (3 women of a "certain age") spent 4 nights at David's VRBO in Charleston's West Edge neighborhood in April 2024. The home was very clean & comfortable, with a new washer & dryer (and a Loquat tree!). David is a wonderful host. A lovely guy and very responsive. He provided some great suggestions, and even called some restaurants to see if they were still serving soft shell crabs (the season is short). A parking space is on the premises but is a bit tight (although we got used to it almost right away). Better for a smaller or medium sized vehicle. The location is proximal to the historic area, etc. Since we read that parking is sometimes hard to come by in town, we took Lyfts to some of the sites. (We did see the "hop on hop off" trolleys all around. We didn't use, but they looked very convenient.) All in all, a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend.

Great Charleston location
We had a great stay at this location in Charleston! David met us on our arrival. There is a parking spot in the lot which worked well for us. If your vehicle is on the large side it might be tight but there is steeet parking as well. Home was just as we had anticipated. Location is an easy 2 mile walk into historic downtown. The home is open floor plan and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you’d need to cook. Nice coffee machine on the counter for use and a French press in the cabinets. Beds were comfortable. We had a great dinner at a restaurant very close called Berkeley’s for dinner. Overall we loved our stay here and would love to come back!! You’ll love it too!
