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:
π« Pets are NOT Allowed:

π« This is a 100% smoke-free property.
Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors. A fine will be charged ($300) for any in-room smoke evidence. If you wish to smoke, please do so at least 10 feet away from the building outdoors.

We are pleased to offer our guests convenient luggage storage through our partnership with Charleston Bag Valet, a trusted local provider.

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

βοΈ Guests must be respectful of neighbors during these hours.
βοΈ We do not offer refunds for noise-related issues that are to be expected of the location.

π We do not control neighboring properties and cannot offer refunds due to dissatisfaction with external factors.
π We do not provide refunds for utility outages or service interruptions that are outside of our control.
βοΈ Charleston homes are built for a subtropical climate, and since many are older, severe cold snaps may affect both water temperature and indoor heating.
π§Ή If damage or excessive cleaning is required after checkout, we reserve the right to charge an additional fee equivalent to a full cleaning.
π Please note that we cannot assume responsibility for vehicles parked outside the designated parking areas.
π« Please note that we will not make exceptions to the cancellation policy associated with your reservation.
