Tim’s place was in an excellent location. We walked everywhere in the downtown area. It also had off street parking. Tim was extremely helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.

This was a fantastic home and Tim was very friendly and responsive. We loved the street and the neighborhood. Having off the street parking was so convenient; we parked the car for 4 days and walked everyplace. The home was beautifully equipped with lovely towels and linens, and the kitchen had everything we wanted -and more! We will surely return to Charleston and stay here again in the future.

We so enjoyed staying at Tim’s place on Queen. The apartment was charming, clean, and one of the best equipped places we’ve ever stayed. We had everything and more to make our four-night stay wonderful. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We so appreciated having off-street parking, and the location and neighborhood couldn’t have been better for walking to many good restaurants and other sites. We always felt safe and the neighbors we met were so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Tim’s place!

We had such an awesome time at Timothy's place. The location is perfect and walkable to pretty much everything. We loved sipping wine on the porch in the afternoon next to the fountain, so peaceful. This was the perfect place to stay. Timothy was an awesome and helpful host. Would definitely stay here again.

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!
