The room was super cute, clean, and welcoming! There were snacks, towels, robes, and a free parking spot provided. The bathroom is a small wet room but for a short weekend stay it was no problem at all. Since it is an “inn” you can hear other tenants walking around and sometimes talking. The host was very welcoming and responsive!

Visit

The room was amazing and fit our needs. We appreciated the welcome wine Karen our host was a blessing to deal with and always was prompt with a response. The parking was a little tight, but we were able to manage it with no difficulties. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Charleston at the parson Inn.

Southern Charm

My daughter and I stayed at this charming suite over the Mother's Day weekend and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations! Its checks all the boxes: convenience, comfort, hospitality, communication with the host, value, etc. Located within easy walking distance to the city's King Street with its bars, shops and restaurants, the suite sported tasteful and welcoming furnishings, super comfortable bed, and clean linens. Additional extras like robes, house slippers, and a bottle of wine were like icing on the cake! Thank you, Karen, for hosting us! I would definitely recommend her property for your Charleston stay!

The property was well maintained. It was near a noisy intersection but traffic seemed to quiet down by 9:30 pm. Great place to get in a good walk to see things. Property manager was very accommodating.

Adorable!

Loved the property & location! Close to MUSC, restaurants, fast food, coffee. All within walking distance but easy access via car as well. Easy to get to West Ashley area & Mount Pleasant. Very clean, accommodating, perfect! Small bathroom/shower but easy to maneuver. Thank you for the stay!

Okay for what it was

The room was okay, but over scented - bedding in particular - not great for those with sensitive noses. The bathroom was difficult to manage - too small. It's basically a bathroom inside of a shower and so if you want to use the shower, you have to put everything else away - including TP - so it doesn't get wet. Location was average, but not quiet as it's across from the hospital. We head sirens and medivac helicopters both nights.

Small but cute!

Room was nice for as little time as we spent in it! No problems with the small water closet! It is close to a busy street so do not plan on sleeping in too late. It is a lttle far from King Street and other restaurants but we were able to make a long day and walk to everything.!!

A Great Getaway

My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at this place. Karen was responsive, and the inside of the property is so cute! The wet room wasn’t an issue for either of us, and my boyfriend is 6’4 and was able to easily maneuver in the shower. The only slight issue we had was parking. We went in an average sized SUV and parking was tight time to time, but not a dealbreaker. We walked into downtown Charleston, and it is about a 40 minute walk to King Street, and we never felt unsafe while walking, even at night. Overall it was a great stay, and the host even provided a bottle of wine which was a nice touch! I would recommend this property.

First experience with VRBO

Our stay in Charleston was very enjoyable, and the property was clean, and as expected. Also appreciated the private, on site, no charge parking. That alone is worth $50-$100 dollars a night depending on where you are! And to top it off, our plans changed at the last minute and we had to leave two days earlier than planned, and our hostess gave us a very generous refund, even though she was not obligated to and we did not ask for or expect it. Excellent experience all the way around.

Charming small room

Lovely room about a mile northwest of most of downtown Charleston. “Wet room” was interesting—shower, toilet and small sink in one area, would not be comfortable for a larger person though we were fine with it. Bed was very comfortable but there was nowhere else to sit. Small for the $ we paid. Charming, though.
