    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 and Cannon Green. 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 3 blocks from this property. More information can be found with the route map on the DASH website.



    Other Things to Note:

    As much as we love furry companions, pets are not allowed at this property. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If a pet and/or pet evidence is found at the home we reserve the right to charge a $150/pet fee.



    🚫 This is a 100% smoke-free property.

    🏙️ Noise Notice:

    Our home is in a vibrant neighborhood just steps from King Street’s dining and nightlife. While that energy is part of the experience, city noise may be heard. Please be advised that:

    ⭐️ A local noise ordinance is in effect from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM.

    ⭐️ Guests must be respectful of neighbors during these hours.

    🔌 We do not provide refunds for utility outages or service interruptions that are outside of our control.



    ❄️ Charleston homes are built for a subtropical climate, and since many are older, severe cold snaps may affect both water temperature and indoor heating.

    🚗 Please note that we cannot assume responsibility for vehicles parked outside the designated parking areas.
