This small, clean, urban townhouse was the perfect spot for two of us to get acclimated to Charleston's historic downtown area with our small dog in tow during a 1-month January stay. Out the front of the unit were two gems: Colonial Lake and Moultrie Park. The 1/3 mile circuit around Colonial Lake was the perfect, dog-friendly walk to start our (and his) day, complete with "poop bag" stations at each corner. The tennis courts at Moultrie Park provided a quick, easy, and free introduction to the Charleston tennis scene. Out the back of the unit was a large green known as the "Horse Lot," an off-leash area that often had plenty of dog and owner friends to meet.
Short walks in any direction gave us plenty to do and see. Walking 15 minutes to the north landed us in the vicinity of MUSC and the "Beach to Battery" greenway to James Island. Walking 15 minutes to the east (along Broad St.) landed us at King St and East Bay St, where food, drink, and shopping abound. 15 minutes to the south and east gave us many beautiful walks through the historic neighborhood of the "South of Broad" area, including a walk along the scenic waterfront battery.
The unit's off-street, free parking was a big asset that cannot be overstated in busy Charleston. It's location along Broad St, a major artery in and out of the city, gave us quick access by car to James Island to the West, North Charleston to the North, and Mount Pleasant to the east - all of which were places worth exploring.
The owner was readily available to answer questions and address our needs, both before and during our stay. Check in and check out were easy and straightforward. Although on some nights we could hear voices from the adjacent unit and there was some road noise, our stay was a pleasant one. We definitely appreciated the opportunities the unit's location afforded us and recommend it to others.
