We absolutely loved our stay! Walkable to everything and just a wonderful location. Perfect Charleston charm. Very clean and comfortable. This is a historic home so it has some quirks, but we found it very charming. Nice to have the Tesla charger too. Be sure to visit Second State coffee if you’re a coffee aficionado. Harken Cafe is a short walk and has wonderful pastries. Queen Street Grocery is just a couple blocks down and has epic sandwiches, crepes and salads. Those were all great and close but there are a million great spots nearby.

Timothy’s place is very comfortable and a great location on a quiet street in downtown Charleston. There was plenty of space for three of us, the kitchen is nice and stocked with coffee pods and some snacks, and the home has historical Charleston charm. We also appreciated the reserved parking space. Timothy was flexible with our check out time. Thanks for a great stay, we hope to return!

This Harleston Village neighborhood single level Airbnb, is an excellent classic Charleston Style property with character! The Airbnb unit appears to be the downstairs of a 2 story duplex. Our family felt private, safe and fully at peace in this home. Superb walkable location to most of Historic Charleston. About 4-5 blocks from the most tourist heavy and popular King Street. My wife and I loved the powerful, cool, blowing Air Conditioning Split Vents in each room. Charleston weather in August is not so much hot, as sweaty and humid. The 1 Full Bathroom had a top tier shower. We stayed about 4-5 nights and enjoyed all of them. Thanks --Vacation Tourists from Austin, Texas.

We had a wonderful stay at Timothy’s place in Charleston! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and full of charm. The location couldn’t have been better—tucked away in a quiet spot but still within walking distance of amazing shops, restaurants, and the beautiful historic district. Timothy was a fantastic host friendly and responsive. One thing that was out of the ordinary was the lifelike mannequin in the front door window. I didn’t know why it was there and it felt a bit creepy. Other than that this is my all time favorite airbnb. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend!
