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.

All good except there is a very long (3 flight) stair climb to the apartment. OK for the young and healthy but challenging otherwise. Several good high end restaurants near by like Bistronomy By Nico and Wild Common.

This would have been a 5 Star review however,I am a 70yo man with knee issues. The twenty eight stairs up a narrow steel stairway was not fun (plus another 12 or so to the 2nd. Bedroom).The floors were not even in the apartment, hey the building is old. That wasn’t much of an issue.Now the good.Easy free parking.The unit was. Very clean.Well decorated.Well equipped.Great coffee (I’m a coffee lover).Everything went smoothly.Check in was fine.The location is great.I did not find it noisy.I.definitely would stay here again but only on the lower floor.

This is a very clean condo. Pretty accurate description and photos. The host was very kind and the check in was the easiest. There are a lot of stairs to get to this unit. The area is very safe, with a quick walk to King Street. We enjoyed our stay and had fun cocktails on the deck.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
Farther from town for walking access than expected but Ubers were plentiful. Vintage furniture was hard to use.Beds were comfortable and kitchen was adequately appointed.Porch was large and pleasant but railings were dirty and cushions were dusty. No coffee pods available as indicated and there were used coffee grounds left in the coffee maker’s carafe. The apartment is not level. Things roll off surfaces. Good to have a parking space in back. Not recommended for anyone who has trouble navigating a narrow metal 2 story entry staircase.
