Great location in historic area of Charleston within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and various attractions. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were very comfortable, but lots of steps to reach them on 2nd and 3rd floors. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful and great location! The neighborhood is lovely and steps from the Battery waterfront garden. About a 1/2 - 1 mile walk to King street shops and restaurants or easy Uber ride. Comfortable beds. Need to be able to navigate steps, but because the bedrooms are on separate floors, it affords great privacy.
