The property was great, but construction was going on next door. The noise of the heavy machinery & the vibrations shook the house We also had repeated noise from the smoke detectors which was eventually fixed by the company.

Charleston near King St
The property was pretty much as described, except for the parking. The listing had offstreet parking included however, when we arrived, we found it that was no longer the case. Parking passes for the street were delivered to us before we arrived, and that solution worked out fairly well. We enjoyed the amenities of the property, including a very well stocked kitchen. At a block and a half from King Street, we found the location to be very good. Mostly quiet at night. The host was very quick to respond.

Unfortunate Series of Events - Refund Issued
The listing is accurate and would have been a nice stay, but we had a series of bad luck. First, the instructions for finding the house and its parking were extremely confusing and took us to wrong locations. We drove around in circles for over an hour trying to find the house. Once we found it, there were tree servicemen cutting down trees on the property. They said we weren’t allowed to park at the house and told us the homeowner said to park at the unit across the way. I messaged the concierge to verify and they said that wasn’t allowed and that I would have to find a spot on the street rather than parking on the property. I booked this house specifically for the on-site parking, so this was highly disappointing. The tree service was there for the duration of our stay. They started work at 7am. I wasn’t able to park at the house, they woke us up, and drug tree branches across our porch. They even accidentally cut down our WiFi cord. The concierge sent Xfinity to fix the WiFi. No one notified us of the Xfinity serviceman’s arrival. He did not knock and just barged in. This was very frightening to us. After all the trees were cut down, all the bugs came into the house. The house was full of caterpillars. They were on the walls, floors, doors, and furniture. We also had cockroaches, crickets, and small flying bugs in the shower. We had to leave a day early because the bugs were too much for us. Thankfully, we did receive a refund for the night we didn’t spend.

Decent property that fit our needs. Family of four stayed here for four nights. Kitchen provided the essentials for breakfast and sometimes lunch while we ventured out for dinner. Having parking available was very nice. We could occasionally hear people in the pool next door but for a house in an urban area found it to be quiet enough. Would recommend a stay here.

Southard Cottage
Property was clean and nicely appointed. Plenty of towels. Bathrooms were a bit cramped and bathroom sinks were incredibly small. (I had to press my head against the mirror in order not to slop toothpaste and water everywhere when brushing my teeth!) I understand why they are small, as it seems the bathrooms were installed after the house was built and this was a very old apartment. A couple of suggestions: My sister and brother-in-law were both struggling with allergies and used up the toilet paper quickly blowing their noses. Might provide a bit more toilet paper, or offer some kleenex in the bedrooms in order that guests don't run out. Also, the rug in the living room is made of some sort of jute type material that is very painful to walk on in bare or stocking feet. Maybe put a different low nap rug in the living room. A throw was provided on the couch. Perhaps if you could offer 1 or 2 more throws there, that would make things a bit more comfortable. The AC blows right onto the extended part of the couch and we found that we had to keep swapping the one throw back and forth to stay comfortable! It would be great if there was a half bathroom on the ground floor. Again I realize that space is tight...maybe a small addition could be put where the door in the kitchen leads out to the front porch. Finally, I'm an insurance adjuster so I'm extra sensitive to noticing hazards, but, you might want to consider putting a railing up on the front porch to prevent falls

Great location but not a comfortable place to hang out
House is in a great neighborhood. We have been to Charleston several times but first time in this area. Lots of neat neighborhood spots. Coquin right next door was a fun spot for coffee and wine. King St hot spots a short walk away. House was small, not sure how 4 people would be there together. After a long day walking the city would be nice to relax and watch the game but the couches are horribly uncomfortable. TV is basic cable so you get like 4 channels, not including the shopping channels so bring your own streaming device. For the price you’d expect a bit more in creature comforts.

Very cute home!!
My husband and I recently stayed at this property so we could check out all the sights and activities of Charleston. The home is super cute and has every amenity you would need during your stay. The property is located off the street so the noise was very minimal and the parking was ideal!!! The home had the cutest gated backyard that allowed our dogs to have a place to play while we were enjoying our morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The property is a short 3 block walk to King Street so the options for dining/cocktails/coffee/nightlife was pretty much endless. You could find anything that was super casual to high end. We loved all the choices. The property is also a super short drive over the Ravenel Bridge to Mount Pleasant where you will find lots of shopping and waterfront restaurants as well as tourist attractions galore!! Also, close to a handful of great golf courses that were very affordable to play. We would recommend this for a small family and or those traveling with small dogs.
