Perfect location
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.

Great Location
Our stay was wonderful. The location can’t be beat! Host was great. Description was accurate. A little tricky getting luggage up the stairs. My only real complaint and it’s minor; the pillows were hard. All of them.

2nd visit to Charleston
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. I highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay here again!

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.
