This property was a block off of King Street and is advertised accurately. You need to set your expectations realistically as most of the properties in the Low Country are older and have been renovated. The good:
- The location is excellent. We are walkers and did not rent a car, although there is an off street parking area which is great. The entire Downtown area was walkable for us. We visited the Aquarium, Fort Sumter, the Citadel, the Market and the entire length of King Street over our 4 night stay.
- The bed is comfy and the unit was clean. It is showing wear and has uneven floors as is to be expected in an old structure. The deck is a nice touch for the upstairs unit. We spent evenings out there regularly. Coffee was provided along with a water filtering pitcher.
- Communication with David was excellent and checkin/checkout was a breeze. He always responded to our questions through the VRBO app within minutes.
The realities:
- If you have an issue with noise while sleeping, especially on weekends, you may be disappointed. There are white noise machines but just realize that the bedroom is right on the street and there is traffic noise.
- There are stairs up to the unit. If you cannot navigate stairs, you may want to opt for the ground floor unit. The lighting outside at night was more than adequate to help in getting in and out of the unit.
Overall, we had a great time in Charleston and would not hesitate staying here again. Good value for the money!
