Great home in a perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, really enjoyed walking into the air conditioned living room, rooms and bathrooms were clean and neat, beds were comfortable. Would note that the bedroom on the right needs curtains because there are lights on outside the building that you cant control and they were shining bright all night long, there are curtains in the other room so please add these in for future guests in the 2nd bedroom.

Perfect for Parents Weekend at CofC

We were in town for parents' weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You can walk everywhere! The beds were amazing, the bathrooms great—small but perfect, and each room had its own bath. The living room was a great size, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the little back yard was perfect for an evening glass of wine. This is a wonderful home, and we will be sure to stay here again.

Clean two bedroom place

Property was clean. Beds were comfortable. It was nice having two outdoor spaces - small porch near the front door and a seating area outside the back door.The house could use some fresh paint. The bathroom sinks (small) did not drain well.We had a difficult time with the TV since an account had been set up by a previous occupant. We figured out with some time spent doing so.Stay Duvet was very helpful with parking passes and answering any question that we had during our stay.There are some great restaurants in the area.

good location

We had a great stay. The house is in a great location, walkable to so many things. The shower got hot fast and the king bed was comfortable (we didn't use the second bed). Everything worked in the house and it was charming. We did not hear noise from King Street.The only negative was the parking. I booked this place because it had parking, but a few days before we were told we had to park on the street because of construction. We were given parking passes. Our last night we could not find a space for 45 minutes so that was a bit frustrating. So if parking is important you should check on this.

Charleston near King St

The property was pretty much as described, except for the parking. The listing had offstreet parking included however, when we arrived, we found it that was no longer the case. Parking passes for the street were delivered to us before we arrived, and that solution worked out fairly well. We enjoyed the amenities of the property, including a very well stocked kitchen. At a block and a half from King Street, we found the location to be very good. Mostly quiet at night. The host was very quick to respond.
