3 Stars for an extended stay.What we liked: • Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy • The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, and utensils • The host/property manager was responsive • Great location—walkable and convenient to many top-rated restaurants • Having a washer and dryer was very helpful • The shower had excellent water pressure and consistent hot water • Works well as a short-term stay optionWhat we didn’t like: • The property is on a busy street, which can be noisy • There was a noticeable sewer smell at times • Some mildew issues were present • Appliances were dated (although a new oven was installed on our last day) • Furniture was not very comfortable for a longer stay • Outdoor furniture wasn’t usable without cleaning • Online photos appear outdated and don’t fully reflect the current conditionSummary:This property has solid fundamentals—especially location and basic functionality—but falls short for longer stays due to comfort and maintenance issues. It’s a better fit for a shorter visit where those factors are less impactful.

Communication was great. But, honestly, this place just wasn’t for us. It was run down, which I wasn’t expecting. The photos in the listing look bright and clean but it was more dark, drab and so/so on cleanliness. The sofa and floral chair (not pictured in listing) are so worn out, you sink into them. Bathroom walls need dusting along with the curtain rod above the bathroom window. The tub drain is super slow so you end up standing in water. The rugs in living room should be replaced. Just not as pictured in my opinion. Beds were good. The A/C and heater do not work even after that being one of the things we requested to be fixed. Front door doesn’t stay shut without deadbolt. I went back to the listing to look at the reviews again since I was a bit confused on the condition of the home. A lot of the reviews rated low had a response from the host saying something like “if we had known about this doing your stay we could have fixed this, as the team is available 24/7”. If you’re on vacation, you shouldn’t have to manage another home’s problems. It’s clear issues with the home have not been corrected. I was excited for this home based on the positive reviews and photos but was let down big time. *Important to note that in the front bedroom you can hear every single noise from the street. It’s loud.

I have been travelling to Charleston for last 3 years while my daughter is a student at College of Charleston. This trip we needed a pet friendly home for an extended stay while she moved between rentals. This met every need we had - comfortable, convenient to restauants, clean and quiet. It was appropriately and reasonably priced. We had one minor maintenance issue which was resolved quickly and professionally. We will definitely book through here again.

Good location, needs TLC
Excellent for being able to walk around and enjoyed the quaint neighborhood. The space was very run down, porch is slanted and somewhat falling apart, outdoor furniture dirty and floor paint chipped up. If you have more than 1 vehicle they will not let you park there even though there is enough space. After several messages about parking and not finding a place nearby (they suggested one .7 miles away) they offered us a spot next door for an additional fee. It would have been helpful to have been offered this from the beginning rather than us having to stress about it after arriving. This was not the hospitality we typically get at VRBO and we have stayed in short term rentals all around the world.

Charming Charleston Home
We loved our stay in this historic Charleston home. The accommodations were clean and equipped with the perfect amount of linens, and kitchen equipment for a get away trip! The location was perfectly located around little shops, cafes and the shuttle service. It was about a 5-10 min walk to the main drag of King street. This is definitely an older vibe home but we enjoyed the stay!

Classic Charleston home
We enjoyed our stay in beautiful Charleston. The house was such a classic style true to Charleston that we felt like we were part of the history. There was lots to see and explore nearby, and a quick drive to the hub of the city. We loved the small town feel of the neighborhood we were in and enjoyed the local coffee shop and bakery. Close to the downtown area but just enough out to not be in all the noise and congestion of the city.

Forgotten treasure
This could be such a great space but it’s missing the tlc every home in this cute neighborhood deserves. We stayed 4 nights and we each got one set of towels. The front door doesn’t stay shut without a deadbolt. The living room furniture could use an upgrade if you plan to sit for a bit. It’s in a great location! Lots of cute independent shops and restaurants.
