This was our first time at Charleston and we enjoyed our stay at Tim's home. We were also surprised with some additional amenities that were unexpected. We loved the location and it was very easy to walk around the area to sightsee many things. We found some nice restaurants/deli's in walking distance. The private parking was secure and fit a crew cab pickup truck. We didn't experience any outside noise during our stay. We would certainly stay at Tim's home again if we were fortunate to come back to Charleston.

Tim’s place is like one of those cute girl apartments you always see in RomComs. It was bright, airy, cozy and very charming. Just far enough from the action downtown to be a relaxing spot with easy access to all the great restaurants, shopping and architecture of Charleston. We loved every second of our stay. Thanks Tim!
