The Charlestonian

AMAZING in every way!!! What a great trip. We went to celebrate our daughters 21 st birthday. Thanks for the memories. Our host Randall was so helpful, the property is gorgeous and close to great restaurants and shopping. Nice easy walk to King st. Apartment was clean with everything we needed. Comfy beds too!!! We really enjoyed playing games (available in home), relaxing and spending time together. Can't wait to return to this amazing city and the Charlestonian. Thank you!!

My husband and I rented our place at the Charlestonian so that we could attend the Charleston Food and Wine Festival, and extend our stay while working remotely over a two week period in order to immerse ourselves in the food and culture of Charleston. We stayed at The Charlestonian’s Proprietors Penthouse, Unit C at 68 Cannon St, and we are just going to say —WOW! This property, for us, turned out to be in the best location and was such an incredible stay! It is in the Cannonborough/Elliotborough neighborhood about three blocks from King St, but yet in its own neighborhood with its own vibe and restaurants/ bars that we particularly enjoyed (Malagon, Chubby Fish, Tippling House, Vern’s). Well over half of our incredible dining experiences took place within a 10 minute walk around this neighborhood, including a must-eat-at restaurant right next door, Southbound (if you see Shane, the restaurant’s hospitality/beverage director during your stay, he might offer you a nice tour of the restaurant!) Our contacts at the Charlestonian, George, the owner, and Randall one of the hospitality experts, kept in contact with us until check-in and gave us a warm welcome and great advice and recommendations on both Charleston and the neighborhood. George put so much thought into every detail of renovating and retaining the feel of this historic property while adding some modern touches. We truly appreciated the heart and soul of this place! The apartment was appointed with amazing amenities too. The kitchen was a cook’s dream: La Cornue range, Mauviel Copper cookware, top knotch appliances both large and small. Although we are food and wine lovers and enjoy cooking at home, we did not plan on doing a ton of cooking in Charleston because we wanted to explore the diverse food scene. But the times we did cook, we had everything we could possibly need and then some! Although we had grocery shopped prior to arrival (can’t be without our coffee first thing in am), we were pleasantly surprised to see they had stocked the kitchen with coffee, filters, a French Press and a nice autodrip coffee machine. Plus, there are several neighborhood coffee shops to check out only a few blocks away (Baba’s and Holey City Bagel) and a lovely cafe (Ladles) in the basement of the building where you can get great soups/sandwiches and not even have to leave the block! We had two bedrooms and each room had comfortable, classy beds/pillows and linens. We had another couple stay with us three nights of our two week adventure, and they said the same. Downstairs there is a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and nice rain shower and upstairs, a master bedroom and bathroom appointed with a gorgeous copper soaking tub with shower attachment. So if you are staying with another couple, there is plenty of privacy with the bedrooms and bathrooms. There is also a cozy reading room upstairs and a small reading nook downstairs, both stocked with interesting books. Other nice amenities include
