Well set in Charleston, The Charlestonian is situated in a historic building and provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and free private parking. The property features city and quiet street views, and is 1.1 km from Charleston Museum. Guests can access the aparthotel via private entrance.

Apartment to rent. Very friendly owners (e.g., allowed us to leave the car in the parking lot beyond the checkout time for a last walk in the city). Very well equipped. Nice location, within some active walk of the main downtown attractions. Two bagel shops nearby. A new top-notch (though expensive) restaurant next door. Overall, just great!

    This was our first experience with an Airbnb. We loved the fact that it was very clean. Had all the amenities and more compared to a regular hotel room at a comparable price. It was like having a vacation home getaway. We were able to have the entire place to ourselves and relax as if it were our own apartment. Highly recommend.

    Guesthouse was amazing!!! I was a little apprehensive due to the lack of reviews, and also because of a Booking snafu, but their customer service (Guesthouse) is amazing and put my mind at ease. I spoke with Kerri who sent me all the emails and app that I needed before check in. Keyless entry, super clean, and great location. Parking is a bit tight, but you get used to it. Very easy to Uber or walk anywhere in Charleston. This was my friend's first time staying in a vacation rental and she had a great experience!
