About this property

Lodge Alley - Downtown Historic District - Incredible Location

A wonderful townhouse 'Johnson's Pied-a'- terre' in the heart of the Historic French Quarter District. Tucked away in the courtyard of the historic ''Lodge Alley Inn '' with a fountain and gas lights to add to the quaintness of this very special place. This alley connects East bay to State Street.
Relax in your own walled and gated private courtyard, or sit on the balcony and just enjoy the sound of the fountain or flicker of the gas lights. Before walking steps to the finest restaurants Charleston has to offer. Only two blocks from the Old Straw Market and Water Front Park on the harbor. You are right where you need to be in this remarkable location to enjoy all downtown Charleston has to offer.

The townhouse has just been newly furnished and sports fabulous original wide plank heart of pine floors throughout. A brand new kitchen installed winter 2023 with top of the line appliances...But who cooks in Charleston when there are so many great Restaurants.
Two bedrooms upstairs one with a California King Bed and the other a queen bed, private baths for both. A small balcony from the Front bedroom with view of the fountain. The living room has a half bath.
The townhouse works nicely for two couples. ....When you enquire please let me know how your group is made up..singles, children, couples ...and age range please...Helps me Accept your booking faster. Thanks

Absolutely amazing stay. The place was extremely clean, comfortable, and honestly perfect in every way. The location was great, and having the beautiful water fountain right in front of our spot made it feel even more special and relaxing.Everything was exactly what we hoped for during our Charleston getaway. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

This Charleston home was beautiful. The hosts have thought of everything you may need to be comfortable and to start your vacation as soon as you arrive. It is one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in. We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping and venues easily and safely. Given there's no available parking, we were fortunate to find spots to load and unload, then parked in a garage nearby with no issues. We would definitely stay again if visiting Charleston.

This is the 2nd time staying this property separated by 16 years and hands down, it still is the best. Wonderful warm homey feeling well appointed and clean as a whistle. Great courtyard for coffee or wine.New to me this trip (totally not the owner’s fault) was the rolling carts of housekeeping by the adjacent Lodge Alley Inn.I’d stay again just maybe in the springtime.

This was a very well-appointed, updated home. It was clean and having 3 bathrooms was a huge bonus! This home had more amenities than most rentals (bathroom supplies, hangers, etc.). We thoroughly enjoyed the private patio as well. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Charleston. Very close to City Market and no more than a 15 minute walk to most areas of the city we wanted to see as first-time visitors.
