The lodging location was outstanding. The property is located right in the heart of the Charleston historical district. The studio was great and within walking distance to most historic sights. We also enjoyed being within walking distance to numerous restaurants during our stay. The hosts were very responsive, helpful, and friendly during our visit.

Nice apartment
The other reviews are very accurate as are the photos. I’m glad we stayed here. This is a nice apartment in a great downtown location. It was clean and spacious and the hosts were very accommodating. I would recommend to friends and stay here again. The only potential downsides could be the noisy ac unit and occasional late night street noise if people are outside one of the nearby restaurants

Great location!
Loved the location and easy access to all things downtown Charleston. Rainbow Row was right around the corner. The loft was spotless, well stocked with towels and wash clothes, and the bed was very comfortable. Loved being right on the street. We never heard street noise when trying to sleep. I would suggest packing a couple of small bags versus one large as it was a challenge getting my big heavy bag up the stairs. It’s also good to put a sound machine by the entrance to the room. We had people with a child come in the joining foyer after quiet time yelling that woke us. We would stay here again and just pack differently!

The space was impeccably clean, bright and had the most amazing windows and ceiling height. It is located in the heart of everything, from restaurants, art galleries and historic sights. We parked our car in a parking garage two blocks away and could walk everywhere. Jan was a delight to communicate. We loved our stay!!!

Perfect location
The location of this place could not be better. It's just a couple of blocks from King Street, the battery, market street, and practically across the street from the lower end of waterfront park at the wharf. You will not find a comparable location for a better price. Finding this listing allowed my wife and I to actually stay on the peninsula instead of 30 minutes away and commuting. The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond. We will be returning.

We had a great stay! Best location for walking, restaurants and shopping. The owner, Jan was very friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless! There are steps up to the property and you can hear some sounds from Broad St at night and in the am but it’s minimal b/c there is a sound ordinance from 10pm-7am.

Studio in the heart of Charleston
Fantastic location that is walkable to everything. Entire studio was comfortable and clean. Remember this is a historical place in downtown, so if you are sensitive to light or sound at nighttime, that might be an issue until curfew/quiet hours. Overall, I would totally recommend for the full Charleston experience.

The most perfectly located apartment in beautiful Charleston. Located in a beautifully restored historic building, the space is perfect, full of natural light and character. The apartment is located above a Monday - Friday coffee shop and literally in the middle of everything there is to see, so, eat and drink. We never once used transportation. The owner was gracious and kind and communicated with us well. We will stay here every opportunity we get.
