The apartment has a large piazza and off street parking. It is located only a block away from three popular restaurants, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Bistronomy By Nico and Fuel. Walk about 5 blocks and you will be on King Street with many of Charleston's favorite new restaurants and boutiques.

The Neighborhood:
The Elliotborough/Cannonborough district of downtown Charleston. With its friendly neighbors, cozy restaurants, and tree lined streets, our neighborhood will immerse you in Charleston’s classic charm. This house is perfect for a family or group seeking a fun, culinary and cultural vacation. Popular dining spots in the neighborhood include Xiao Bao Biscuit, Fuel, Porchetta Shop, Southbound, R Kitchen, Chubby Fish and many more! Our guests and neighbors also rave about Welton's Tiny Bakeshop and Kudu Coffee. We recommend going to either for a cup of locally-roasted coffee or their delicious cookies and cakes. The house is only a short walk from the very popular King Street where you will find a multitude of great shops – including antique shops, book stores and fashion boutiques – as well as endless buzzing restaurants and bars.

You can walk almost everywhere - but should you want to rest your feet, there are many other options for getting around: Uber, Lyft, Charleston Bike Taxi, Charleston Rickshaw, Green Taxi or Yellow Cab.

Quick Charleston Getaway

Our family had a great quick trip to Charleston. The home was cozy and adorable. We were there for a college tour and the location was in close proximity to the college. We also appreciated off road parking.

Relaxing visit

Relaxing and convenient location to walk in the historic areas of Charleston. Loved the coffee maker and delicious coffee provided! After being on the road for a week, the washer and dryer was very much appreciated! Will stay again when we come back!

Perfect Location

Perfect place to stay if you want to be close to literally everything. 10 minutes to the marketplace, 8 minutes to downtown Charleston, 15 minutes to shem creek, 13 minutes to patriots point, 20 minutes to the beach. Only thing I would add, is make sure you bring a midsize SUV or smaller if staying here. I brought my truck, and it was a little tight to park. Still can't really complain about free parking on sight. Just more of PSA.

Misrepresentation

The house from the outside was very shabby- paint peeling and poorly maintained stairs and railings. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable, with poor lighting. Beds were comfortable but rooms were sparingly furnished. For a very short term stay it was sufficient but we would never book this place again .

We walked everywhere!!! Great location, safe for our Schnauzer, home was as depicted. We will definitely return next year for our annual HHI visit! Access to beach was a 7 minute walk to what felt like, a private area. Thank you for allowing our visit.

Needs updating

Living area furniture was very uncomfortable and outdated. Bed mattress sunk in places. Needs seating in bedrooms and more appealing decor. Towel rack in bathroom is broken. Kitchen was fine. Very interesting old house - just needs to be more updated and comfortable inside

Good neighborhood spot

It is perfectly suited to Charleston. Were it anywhere else, the fact that a floor isn't level would be a bummer, but not here. It is charming and guaranteed old. The apartment was clean, bright, & provided everything we needed! We love walking, so staying here & walking the mile or so to explore the historic district, French quarter, and everything in between was great for us. Property management was friendly & responsive.

Located in a quiet section of Charleston near the Charleston medical school. Plenty of space for a family of four. Walking distance to shops and cafes and minutes to all of the various hot spots in Charleston. Close to North Charleston and Mt. Pleasant as well. We would stay here again.

Historic but shabby

For the price, this property was below expectations. The photos made it look much more elegant. I realize this is a historic property, however the exterior looks dilapidated compared to the photo. The porch was leaning to the point it seemed dangerous. The couch had stains all over it (I put a sheet on it before sitting) and the bed mattresses were saggy and uncomfortable. It’s a shame these once elegant homes are being treated like cash cows for rental companies. The house overlooks the next door property (also shabby) whose back yard has been turned into a parking lot by the property company. That said, the neighborhood was fine and the rental company was responsive.
