This is the second time we’ve stayed here, it’s our favorite! We love how clean and new it is inside, but still has so much historic charm. The furniture is comfortable, the washer/dryer are so convenient, and we love spending time on the balcony. It’s the very best location also, easy walk to so many historic sites, art galleries, museums, restaurants, and shopping, as well as the waterfront. Communication is excellent, just the right amount of them checking in with us to make sure all is well; and immediate responses when I message a question. Can’t say enough about how perfect this place is!

Great, great, great location! Everything I happen to have reservations at was literally a four minute walk away. Museums were all around and a coffee shop and delicious bakery were right downstairs. Great experience. Also the home itself was very. well decorated and a great kitchenette was right at the entrance so it was convenient. The porch was also perfect to just people watch why you had your coffee.

This VRBO had it all--historic but all the modern conveniences and in the heart of the French Quarter. It was perfect for two couples--each with their own dreamy king beds and bathrooms. The comfy porch overlooking horse-drawn carriages below was a real plus. Both couples agreed that it was the perfect place for our week in Charleston.

The property was so clean! I would say if it is two couples definitely two en-suites as the second has a door that closes so if you do not use the pull out bed is totally private. The internet was terrible and being the suite directly above the restaurant was a little noisy. The beds were super comfortable!!

We took our children (ages 6 and 4) for a week long vacation in Charleston. This place was perfect for all of our needs. The speedy laundry machines, the spacious rooms, and piazza made our lives much easier! The off street parking and Harken cafe underneath were an added bonus. We can’t wait to come back here again!

The location is great you can walk to everything in downtown Charleston. The home was very clean, however the smell of cleaning products was extremely strong upon arrival. The restaurant downstairs has good food and great coffee. You can hear some restaurant noise, but they were kind enough to turn their music off.

VERY clean and great layout! Plenty of room and porch was a plus.Nice furnishings.No elevator so stairs weren't ideal with luggage but was very worth it. parking is tough with large vehicle but worked.Felt very historic and walked to rainbow row/shops/restaurants. Poogans Porch was a favorite, one block down.Enjoyed the vibe being in an apartment versus a hotel.One drawback, major construction on building across the little street, very noisy at 7am!It sounded like they were working in my bedroom.After a long road trip that wasn't ideal nor mentioned in listing.I would definitely stay again once that is completed.
