Wonderful spot in Charleston

This is a beautifully restored property that is a gem. Comfortable places indoors as well as on the patio and second floor porch, where we enjoyed a cocktail while watching the sun set.Having a parking place certainly makes life a bit easier.Like most urban neighborhoods, one has to be aware of your surroundings but we didn’t have any issues.Would recommend to friends and hope to have the opportunity to stay there again in the future.

Lady Banks is the place to stay!

This is a great property. It has the Charleston charm, and the location is absolutely perfect. It is within walking distance to everything. This place is great for a family and/or for a couple getaway to stay. Property management was very responsive to our requests. Extremely timely. Property felt safe and secure. The parking spot is a huge plus especially if you have a car and want to travel to the beaches. Parking on the streets in Charleston is not ideal and easier to just park in a garage. We will recommend this place to family and friends to stay if they visit Charleston.
