It's a quaint house in a convenient neighborhood. The bathrooms and kitchen are updated. But so he cautious when traveling with someone who may have bad knees as the bedroom is up some steep stairs. Would stay again.

A great location to enjoy the heart of Charleston. Unit E was a perfect little mini house that was spacious enough for us. Easy walk a little less than a mile to King St. We drove in the evening and parking was easy enough during the week and free starting at 6pm. King bed was very comfortable. A/C worked very well and the house stayed cool.

Nice Place, Convenient Downtown Location

This self-contained unit was clean and well appointed. The convenient location in downtown Charleston is within walking distance to many nice restaurants. The host was responsive in addressing our requests. There are sirens and helicopters in the area, but this is to be expected due to proximity to the medical center. We would stay here again.

Anniversary getaway

We enjoyed this property. It was beautiful inside. Appreciated the large kitchen, lovely living room, and a half bath on the first floor, as well as having the second floor with the full bath and large luxury bed. The laundry unit came and used as well. Overall, the neighborhood was quiet in spite of being next to a parking lot. There was an occasional ambulance and helicopter noises due to the hospital nearby We decided not to rent a car and walked pretty much everywhere with an occasional Uber Ride for things farther out.

Amenities as advertised. Good location with multiple dining spots in walking distance. If you are a light sleeper - you may hear helicopters landing at the medical center, but was not an issue to me. Contacted concierge twice for the advice/recommendation and received prompt reply. Overall great stay.
