The Neighborhood:
What do we love about this neighborhood? Everything!

Each house is unique. The culinary scene for which the Charleston has become so famous is just steps away. Xiao Bao Biscuit, The Grocery, The Ordinary, 492, Chez Nous, Cannon Green, Trattoria Lucca, Stars, and Fuel (from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives) are all just around the corner - among countless others. The fantastic restaurants and nightlife of Upper King Street are close enough to walk but far enough to not keep you up all night.

Getting Around:
The DASH trolley is free in Charleston. There are 3 routes, and two of the routes have stops just blocks from this property. More information can be found with the route map on the DASH website.

Please note that there is a noise ordinance in this neighborhood after 10pm daily, so if you are enjoying yourself please stay inside and be considerate of the neighbors.

If a positive COVID diagnosis or exposure to COVID prohibits or alters the guest (or any individuals in the guest's group) from traveling to the property, the standard cancellation policy will remain in force. Should a guest choose to cancel their reservation under these circumstances, a refund will not be issued, and we shall have no liability with respect to the reservation.

We shall have no additional liability concerning the reservation.

If inclement weather in any other part of the country or world during the dates of stay prohibits or alters the guest (or any individuals in the guest's group) from traveling to the property, a refund will not be issued, and we shall have no liability with respect to the reservation. During months where there is a potential for inclement weather, such as hurricane season, we strongly recommend guests purchase travel insurance.

We were only there overnight- but the room was perfect for the two of us. We especially loved the sitting area downstairs and the fine touches in The main house .

Great place to stay while taking in Charleston
Unique place that gets a lot right. Well located to be in walking distance of most of the historic district and many nearby restaurants and bars. Well done restoration of a mansion. Nice touches with breakfast, loanable bikes and off-street parking (which is necessary in Charleston). Loved sitting on the veranda in the evening. We stayed in the speakeasy room with a downstairs bar area. Room was clean with a nice bathroom and great memory foam mattress. The only knock is that the downstairs was so poorly lit (to create ambiance?) that we had no interest in spending time down there.

Nice but…
Nice place but the location is very noisy between the very busy intersection, the hospital helicopter down the street and the construction work around the house!!! Nice house but no double window or other insulation… So be prepared come with your ear plugs:(

Splendid place | Rough on the amenities
Loved the Suite. Room 1, the Speakeasy suite. Loved it. However, the marketing said they were taking “technology-forward, hands off approach”. Could have used a little more hands on. Needed assistance a few times and couldn’t find anyone. Otherwise wonderful stay.

What an awesome place!
It was even better than I expected! The room was very clean, bed was comfortable, and decorated beautifully. The Nespresso machine in the room was awesome. They had an espresso machine in the common area with all of the things you could imagine. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious, super convenient way to start our day! Sitting on the porch in the mornings in the evenings was wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Don’t hesitate to book! Loved it!!!
