    This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

Perfect place while visiting Charleston! Place was clean and well appointed. The luggage lift was used to get our things up to unit with no issue. Spiral staircase was fun. We only made coffee so can't speak to using the kitchen. Would recommend Holey City Bagels which is right around the corner and Chez Nous for brunch or dinner. SO good, off the beaten path, small and wonderful atmosphere.

My daughter and I stayed and had the best time. It was central to everything- we walked all over and never needed an Uber to or from. We saw the battery and even South of Broad- there are so many places to stop and see that it made walking easy breezy. Cutest coffee shop on the corner and markets with what we needed in a short walk. It was super clean and comfortable- the beds were amazing after a long day of touring. The hosts were very communicative and check in was a breeze. The spiral staircase up- an adventure getting our luggage in; however, there is a lift we noticed after! They provided a nice itinerary and we appreciated it as I had been before and didn’t realize the houses you could tour. Highly recommend and would love to go back!

A lovely Christmas

Having a full size dining table for 4 and very comfortable chairs was key for our family get together. The king beds were super comfortable and having 2 full bathrooms was also one of the necessities for our crew. One en suite is tiny size, but workable. The courtyards are dreamy, i would stay again.

Excellent Stay

In town for a funeral with sister; the 2/2 accommodated our needs well. Everything (shops, restaurants, etc.) within walking distance. By far, the nicest property I've used in Charleston: plenty of room, comfortable bed and furnished coffee (pod and carafe machine). Although not used, all kitchen essentials present. Wish we had time to unwind in the courtyard. Not an issue for us but be aware of the spiral staircase to the door. Will definitely return - thank you Jamie!

Charleston stay

The description of the condo did not state we would need to go up a spiral staircase. We carried heavy suitcases up. We were not told there was a lift, which we did mot see until the last day and used to get heavy suitcases down. The lodging itself was very clean, convenient to walking, comfortable beds and great location.

Nice apartment in good location

The apartment was very nice and had historic details. It would have been helpful if directions were provided on how to use the washing machine which was a bit complicated.
