This proprty is perfect for a couple. We had a wonderful experience. The Brown Dog Deli around the corner was our go to place. It also was a good spot for our dog as there is a park right across the street. Great stay!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the quiet, relaxed atmosphere while still being close to everything downtown. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Convenient pet-friendly location! We walked everywhere in the historic district from here with no issues. It was nice to have a yard to take our dog out, and there is a park across the street where people bring dogs to play. Parking in this area has a lot of rules, but the host clarified everything and we had no issues. Thank you!

Thank you for your review and for staying with us. We are glad to hear the location worked well for you and that you were able to walk around the historic district easily. It is also great to know the yard and the park across the street were convenient for your dog.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to host you again in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at Lily’s Pad in Charleston! The place was very cute, cozy, and quiet—exactly what we were looking for. We loved being able to bring our pup along, and having a park right across the street made walking him especially enjoyable. The location was perfect: close enough to downtown to explore easily, while still being in a quiet part of town. Evan was a great host—very informative throughout the trip and always available if we needed anything. We were very content staying at this cute little pad and would happily stay here again.

Stayed during College of Charleston move-in weekend. We absolutely loved our stay at Lily’s Pad on Rutledge! Cozy, spotless, and full of Charleston charm—felt like a sweet little hideaway in the heart of the city. The bed was as comfy as a porch swing on a sunny afternoon, and the host made everything easy and welcoming. Y’all, this place is a gem!

Thank you for such a heartfelt review! We love hearing that the home gave you that cozy, charming feeling and that you felt comfortable from the moment you arrived. It’s always a joy to host guests like you, and we’d be so happy to welcome you back on your next trip.
Great location that is very walkable to many areas in the city. Host provides a parking pass that allows you to park anywhere in zone C - which makes it easy to park near the unit and also to drive and park to nearby spots. Communication with the host was good with clear check-in/checkout instructions and the host even texted us when there was some flooding on the street (happens occasionally in Charleston) and directing us where to park. We didn't spend a lot of time inside, honestly, but the bed was comfortable and kitchen had essentials. I think the look is true to the pictures on the website. One small note - the bathroom and shower is really tiny, so be aware of that if you are a large person. Enjoyed our stay in Charleston!

Host tried to be helpful. Many issues that remained unresolved over 5 night stay. Examples: only light in kitchen out, TV has error screen rendering tv unwatchable, lack of heat - provided one space heater for entire unit, requested another and was provided next day, power then went out in bedroom so no heat and no space heater unless I moved to sleep on the couch. I asked for repairs on multiple days between 9am and 4pm as I would be out of the unit. Host messaged at 5pm that no one was available during my requested time. Additionally, don’t plan on taking a shower comfortably. I’m a normal sized 5’6” woman and barely had room to turn around in the shower. Can’t bend over to shave legs or will have half of body outside of shower. Key points:1. Don’t stay here when it is cold. 2. Don’t stay here if you want a decent shower. 3. Location felt safe, walkable, and unit has potential to be a great place if managed by a different company.
