The first bedroom has two queen beds and a fireplace. The large windows and elegant blue ceiling give this room a calming ambience.

Room No. 2 has twin beds and an exposed brick wall to ceiling fireplace, bringing warmth into this welcoming room for two. Both of these rooms have access to the enclosed porch that travels the length of the building with a bench to sit and relax.

A mix of upscale shopping and laid-back restaurants pepper the immediate area. Peruse artworks at the Gibbes Museum of Art or see a show at the historic Dock Street theatre. There's street parking all throughout Charleston, two parking lots close to the house, one half a block up called the George st lot and one a block over on Wentworth called the Wentworth st garage. Our meters have to be fed through 10pm, but cards are taken at most meters so you don't have to depend on change. Uber rides are available throughout the city as well as bike taxis and bicycle rental companies. This is a upstairs apartment, and I ask that guest respectfully note the apartment downstairs... in regards to noise levels and late night activity !
