Carriage House is in a quiet neighborhood with all the amenities of home. The bed was very comfortable. TV was Roku setup. From there it is an easy drive to downtown and the Coliseum. We were able to walk along the river every morning. Only two surprises: refrigerator door is backwards. And, no warning about street cleaning, so we got a parking ticket.
Cute place great location worked out perfect.
The carriage house was perfect! Upon arrival, it was clean offered all the amenities needed, including a washer and dryer, utensils and a smart TV with access to the best apps. The kitchen came stocked with seasonings and spices and they even had the ice trays full in the freezer which made this lover of ice very happy! The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on, even better than my bed at home! They even took the time to gather brochures and create an entire 3 ring binder of activities to do in the area. Their attention to detail was unreal! Communication with the owner was great. The space was small but they managed to utilize every bit of space in a way that made the home comfortable, enjoyable and feel larger than it was. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us and our small dog. Close to the interstate for easy access to everything we were doing. This will definitely be our preferred and first choice of place to stay next time we visit! Thank you so much!
Easy to get to. Easy access to interstate. No traffic noise. Comfortable bed.
Cute mini apt, updated bath and kitchen. Clean, most comfortable bed EVER! Lovely host!
Loved the quiet setting with easy access to interstate. Walkable just north of state Capital. Carriage house had small fenced yard behind main home that was perfect for paws. Was able to provide home cooked meals in small kitchenette during our10 day stay. Will book again in the future.
Property had dirty fans, air fresher in vents and the shower didn’t drain. The bed quilt and pillow case has dried blood on it.
Nice place in historic East Charleston. Great location!
Great experience for a low cost stay
Our family stayed here for a week while my husband was doing some research at the capitol. Although the apartment is preferable for two people, it was perfect for our small family as our kids love laying out on some sleeping bags when we’re on a vacation. The host is SO accommodating and responsive. Anytime we had a question, he communicated with us promptly. The people who stayed before us had broken the coffee pot (no fault of the owner) and when we communicated this, there was a new coffee pot waiting on our porch in less than 24 hours. The place itself is cute and cozy, and the new king size mattress was heavenly! The tv is a roku tv so there were lots of fun channels to enjoy on the rainy days. The location is super ideal if you want to be right by the state capitol. The neighborhood was very cool and had nice wide streets and sidewalks for family walks with the dog. There’s also a fenced in yard with some patio furniture, where the kids loved sitting out and doing some bird watching. Highly recommend!
