Built in the 1890s and located in a prime location near the heart of downtown Charleston, this historic first-floor getaway is the perfect home away from home for your next escapade in Charleston! With 1,500 square feet of comfort and convenience, you'll find plenty of space and two full bathrooms. This home is perfect for a weekend getaway or family gathering. If you choose to entertain at home for lunch or dinner, let the full kitchen inspire you to prepare lazy brunches and get togethers with friends.

This getaway is conveniently located in Charleston's Historic Cannonborough-Elliottborough Neighborhood, a safe neighborhood where guests can walk around at any time of the day without any concerns. There are a lot of students in the area as the home is close to the Medical University of South Carolina. Even though you have a fully equipped kitchen at home, being surrounded by amazing dining options is a clear temptation and there's no one to blame! A must-visit while in Charleston is The Battery, a jaw-dropping promenade that is the perfect spot for a relaxing stroll and gives you the opportunity to admire beautiful homes and Southern-style mansions. One-and-a-half miles away is the Historic Charleston City Market, the perfect place to experience the southern charm that Charleston is known for. There you can buy local foods, toys, souvenirs, clothes, leather goods, and so much more.

Overall this house was great. The living room is cute and beds were comfy (bonus as usually vacation rentals are not). They provided 2 towels, a wash cloth and hand towel per person which was great. The overall house was clean, too, especially as it is a bit older (all of Charleston is) so it was nice in this regard. The only thing is that the AC is not cold enough or strong--this I think is a setting by the house managers as it does not go lower than 72 but some parts of the house (due to age, ceiling height, etc.) did feel pretty warm. This was June, so I imagine in July/August it would be much warmer in parts of the house at night.

Scratched up car driving in from the narrow driveway and bushes on both side. It is by no means a 4 car parking in back. We had no tv. Had to call for repair. He came but still no decent service. That was 6 days. We were asked to strip beds where we discovered blood stains in the back room on the mattress. The pillows are extremely flat. The trip was one we had looked forward to. The inconvenience issues subtracted major point from rebooking at that location. 3 stars are for convenience and room space.
