Cute room, nice hosts, there was a heated dipping pool, clean, walking distance to downtown
Very nice hosts. There was water, wine and coffee available on site. In the backyard we had a fixed parking space. Downtown Charleston was easily accessible.
Great location- walkable to a king and other good restaurants Owner was super helpful and friendly. Love the pool. That was a great surprise!
loved how beautiful behind the house was with trees and the colorful houses behind it and it was so cool to have a spiral staircase up to our room
