About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Urban Oasis. Located in Charleston's Hip, Historic East End

This is a charming, stand-alone apartment located within walking distance of the state capitol and close to all area entertainment. Private, peaceful and quiet. There is one queen-sized bed. The couch is more of a sitting, not a sleeping couch, so if there are two of you, make sure you're OK with sharing a bed.

On-street parking without parking restrictions on a quiet residential street. There is always parking available close by. The neighborhood is safe and the apartment is fifty feet off the street down a well lit paved driveway.

Enjoy a stroll through the historic east end of Charleston to the nearby Capitol with its golden dome. Walk to nearby restaurants and music venues. One mile from downtown and its variety of restaurants, entertainment venues and places of interest. Return to your own comfy, cozy and tranquil little piece of Charleston.

ASK ABOUT SECURE BIKE STORAGE.

The vast majority of the reviews are wonderful and give an unbiased perspective of this quiet hideaway in West Virginia's capitol............Well, OK .. except for the ONE that wasn't so happy and you can read it and my response ............Mea Culpa. It was my error.

Almost Heaven
Alan's place is clean and comfortable. We were there for the Vandalia festival at the Capitol and we were within walking distance. Downtown is less than 2 miles and we had great meals. We also brought the motorcycle and took a few beautiful rides in the mountains.

Cyclist Oasis
Came for the US Cycling National Road Championship. Agree with every other 5 star review. The host made his secure garage available for our racing bikes, which enabled us to enjoy the whole living space without our bikes in it. I wish I’d had more time to explore the riding around Charlston, but the in-city roads were great and, for those who like a bike path, the Kanawha River has a pretty good one. Highly recommend.

Comfy Property in GREAT Neighborhood
We loved this place! Full of period pieces and comfort. We came to town to just see beautiful Charleston and cycle. It is close to beautiful paths on the river and by the Capital and downtown. Lovely old houses to see, and the State Capital grounds. Apartment is carefully appointed with everything you need. Bed is comfy, tv works great, nice linens, glassware, coffeemaker. Alan and Shannon are nearby- and met us when we arrived which was great. We stored our bikes in the garage, and that was so handy. Communication was good the whole stay. Nancy abram

Perfect Anniversary Getaway
This place was just as advertised and even better than expected! It was immaculately clean and equipped with everything we needed plus some. The vintage furniture and local decor is tastefully done and the bed is super comfortable. The host is available but we were never disturbed. We were very cozy with plenty of blankets, towels, kitchenware, etc., they even had chilled drinks and cupcakes for us with a note wishing us a happy anniversary. ☺️ It is a lovely part of town and we enjoyed exploring several of the many area attractions and restaurants recommended on a list in the entryway. We would love to stay again sometime!

Great little place for a downtown Charleston stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Urban Oasis in downtown Charleston. We arrived in threatening weather and the owner was responsive to our communication to get in a little early. The neighborhood is full of lovely old homes with lots of character. We walked to the Capitol, State Museum, GoMart Park for a Dirty Birds game and felt safe and comfortable. It was a quick drive to downtown restaurants and the Capitol Market. The home had everything we needed to make simple meals. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom nicely remodeled. We especially appreciated all the historical and tourist information in the house. There were nice little touches throughout and on street parking was easy. Highly recommend.

Disappointed
My daughter who is 34 and 5 months pregnant came with me to stay at Urban Oasis. When we got inside and started to unpack everything my daughter noticed a tray on the coffee table that had a lot of dead small worms or something like that. I tried to get ahold of the host and didn’t get a response. We decided since no one responded to me that we would give it a chance. We went to meet family Friday evening and came back and put leftovers in the fridge. Later when my daughter went to eat leftovers she went to take a shower and then went into the kitchen to get a water and noticed where she left the empty to go box on the counter suddenly was the empty box and counter was a a lot of black ants crawling everywhere. I took the disinfect that was under the kitchen sink and cleaned the sinks and counters. We decided not to eat in there again and saw several ants on the counter so there’s obviously an infestation inside the walls with ants. All the food we brought and put in the fridge we decided not to eat it in there and bagged it all up in the kitchen trash can. The bedding was very uncomfortable and the blankets smelled musty and made my daughter very nauseous. We are not complainers unless something is really bad to leave this kind of review. We were excited about the trip and staying there only to be disappointed when we couldn’t reach anyone about the bugs that were the biggest problem. Please clean and exterminate so this doesn’t happen to future guests. Could be much better
