Just wrapped up 5 night stay and loved it. I was in a deluxe room on 3rd floor. Spacious. Great light. Everything worked. Clean. Comfortable. Quiet. Hard to think of anything I ever needed or wanted during my stay that wasn’t provided or couldn’t have been upon request. A lovely room where I often wanted to just hang out and enjoy the space. I loved the option of enjoying my breakfast there each morning before heading out on my day. Speaking of breakfast, loved that I could have something different each day with many options to choose from depending my mood. A different Special of the day or something customized. Healthier options too. This can sometimes be a challenge in a bnb. Staff were all welcoming, accommodating, and very friendly. Special shout out to John, concierge extraordinaire! He is friendly, a great conversationalist, very knowledgeable about the city, and has the unique ability to make everyone feel like the most special guest in residence. Enjoyed returning after my days adventure and sharing the details with him while enjoying my nightly port. Staff go out of their way to get to know their guests and anticipate their needs. Location is ideal as a home base for exploring this wonderful city. I was sad to leave. Yes there are stairs but I suspect given the time when this house was built, stairs were a definite luxury and practical feature. Imagine flooding and the effects of horses if the entrance was on the ground floor? If stairs are a challenge for you, no ramps or elevators. I was offered assistance with luggage on check in but I suspect in general you need to be able to handle stairs if you stay here. I thoroughly loved my stay and while it was definitely pricier than some other area options, I feel it afforded me the personalized level of attention, comforts, and Charleston experience that I wanted for this trip. The house takes you back In time and it feels special to stay here. Part of experiencing Charleston and being in the historic district. One thing, I do think the photos on Trip Advisor might be a bit dated, if not somewhat staged, and may set the expectation for a more lavish experience than exists today. Not that the experience wasn’t top notch, but better to go in with a sense of reality. I believe the inn was full for the weekend, but it never felt as vibrant or social as the pictures might suggest. Maybe the fact that it never felt “busy” is also a testament to the spaciousness but if you are looking for a more social lodging experience that is conducive to meeting other travelers, not sure if this is it. I suspect most guests hang out in their rooms. I think they have converted the back of the drawing room (they call it the ballroom) behind the pocket doors into another guest room, and while the ballroom is still large it seemed more like a place someone goes to read. The port/brandy service is currently offered by reception in the main entrance, there is no place to congregate, so guests generall
