The check in was super simple. There are two doors you can enter, each with a unique code. The living room and upstairs rooms are very spacious, perfect for hanging out. The location cannot be beat - right in the middle of shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. The host replied quickly to messages/questions we had and was very helpful.We had an awesome experience!

Fantastic location with true Charleston charm. The rental is an easy walk to the Historic Market, restaurants, and shops. It was clean and matched the photos perfectly. We had a little trouble with the main door, but the owner responded quickly and let us use the porch keypad entry, which made access simple. We are frequent visitors to Charleston and would definitely rent this beautiful home again.

Great location in Charleston!!! Close to everything!! Great host when we arrived we had trouble finding the parking area for our car and the host immediately came and showed us where to park. The place was clean and met all our needs for the time we stayed in Charleston. During our stay we had a difficult time using the main door; it wouldn’t unlock from the outside so we used the side balcony door with the keypad for the entire time we were there. We stayed parked the entire stay and walked everywhere and it was close to everything we wanted to do and see. Thank you for a great time in Charleston!!

Host was excellent and responsive! Arrived to a clean historic Charleston gem with unique quirks and charm. Such an ideal location for shopping and enjoying the city. Bring ear plugs for sleeping - there’s a popular dive bar next door that’s also worth a visit! Parking is great! Kitchen had everything we needed. The charm of the property comes with a one of a kind slanted floor, few trip hazards with stairs, so watch prep any grandparents :) guests of all ages enjoyed and appreciated the wonderful communal space!

Great communication and the place was very cute and clean. Beds were all very comfortable and sheets and towels smelled fresh. We appreciated all of the many places to sit and gather. Per the other reviews, the bar next store is too loud to sleep in the first floor bedroom (no matter how much white noise). So I slept on the couch until the bar closed at 2am, and that worked because the couches are large and comfy.
