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!

Great communication with the property manager Jamie. St. Phillip’s Square is walkable to everything Charleston and worked well for our family of 6 plus our dog. One of the bathrooms is a European-style “wet”bathroom- so make sure to understand that before staying. The porch is great and the bedrooms are nicely-sized. There is parking for one car with the unit, but several parking options nearby if you need room for a second car. Don’t miss Baba’s for coffee, the chicken at Bartaco, or oysters at Darling Oyster Bar.

The host was extremely fast responding to my questions, she was helpful and flexible with our arrival plans. The accommodation was perfect, very clean, well stocked. We really couldn’t have been any happier. Also great location, easy walk or quick uber ride to all our planned activities. Charlston is a darling city.

We liked the style of the house, the location to shops and restaurants, free parking, could walk to many historic places. Coffee supplied. Clean, easy to contact host.

Kitchen was too small, no dining room, the walls I think are made of paper we could hear all of the neighbors just talking. Definitely wouldn't stay there again. One nice bathroom the other bathroom was some kind of a concocted showebathroom.
