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!

*If needing early check-in or late check-out please DO NOT ask until the day before check-in at earliest due possible last minute rentals. If you absolutely NEED it, I would suggest renting the night prior*

*Pet Policy: Only Small Pets under 25 pounds (maximum of 2) allowed with prior written approval ($200 non-refundable fee per pet).Must have authorization prior to reservation.*

    Parking was great. The location of the property allowed us to walk to nearby shops and restaurants. All the extras provided in the apartment was a nice touch (coffee, shampoo, soaps, etc.). Thank you. We will stay in one of your properties again when visiting Charleston.

    Wonderful home away from home! Great base camp to enjoy Charleston, the nicest city in the US! Nice details like a throw for a chilly evening on the great porch. Very comfy beds and linens. Nice amenities like the fire pit area and parking. The neighbor hood has a great coffee shop but can get a bit loud on the weekends. All in all- a very good experience!

    This property is laid out very strangely with two queen beds in one room and a double bed in another. We were traveling with another couple and they could not stay with us because of the layout. There also was a small issue with construction beginning upstairs in another unit at 7:00 am 2 out of our 3 mornings. They proceeded to loudly talk on the veranda outside our windows for about an hour. They also had a man wash our windows WHILE we were there without consulting us. It was an interesting way to treat paying guests.
