The Retreat | Downtown King 2BD w/ Porch + Parking

The location of the apartment is walking distance to the French Quarter, King Street and the waterfront - lots of shopping, restaurants and bars. The property was very clean and comfortable. One stand out feature is the porch. What a wonderful place to have coffee, read or hang out. The beds were comfortable. We appreciated that toiletries and coffee pods were provided. The filtered water pitcher in the fridge was wonderful for a cold drink after walking around. Note: To access the property, you need to go up the equivalent of two flights of stairs. It was not an issue for us, but it is something to consider if you have mobility restrictions. Great location and comfortable stay.

Clean, great location. Liked how we didn't have to park on the street, instead there was a parking lot in the back of the building.

This is situated nicely near places to eat, walk and drive quickly to. Parking behind is very convenient. Take note that there are a good amount of stairs to go up when packing your suitcase so that it’s not so heavy!

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.

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.

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.

Great location. Within walking distance to the French Quarter. Very clean and comfortable place to stay and off street parking included!

The host was very responsive. There were a few items missing from the property that were in the listing. He had them delivered the next day. There was an issue with the washer when we got there and he had already arranged to have it looked at. The biggest issue we had was the slant in the ceiling of the upstairs bedroom. It was pretty low and difficult for anyone much over 5’ to stand up straight. It might be helpful to list dimensions in the listing. Unit was clean and had a great porch that we used each night. The water was hot but not much water pressure. It was in a good location for king st and other activities. There was some street noise at night but once the noise machines were delivered that helped. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great trip. This place was perfect for our needs. Close to everything and everyone had their own space.

Wonderful location and fun old house with lots of character and modern amenities.

A very responsive host, great location and nice place. Will return!

The host’s communications were very thorough. Location of unit was great—quiet neighborhood & convenient to the interstate. Unit was very clean & bed was very comfortable. Parking space was a plus.

Location was awesome. The place had a historic charm to it. Very spacious and the two king suites, each with private full bathrooms was a game-changer. And the reserved private parking spot was super useful. Host is very responsive and accommodating!

The apartment was very spacious, well-appointed and clean. The beds were large and firm. Assigned off street parking.

A well-located, cozy, historic apartment. The owners kept a lot of the original parts of the building while having updated amenities.

What a gem! This very quaint and comfortable apartment was a perfect spot to stay for a long weekend to enjoy all that Charleston has to offer. The apartment was well equipped and the bedroom/bathroom were spacious and the beds super comfy. The neighborhood is charming and within easy access of King Street and historic downtown Charleston. Will definitely be back!
