About this House
Located in the Cannonborough-Elliottborough neighborhood of downtown Charleston near Upper King Street restaurants, shopping and nightlife, Gertie's Downtown is a two story Charleston Single home that's just a short walk, bike or cab ride to all the action in downtown Charleston. Gertie's Downtown serves as a terrific home base from which you can launch your Charleston adventures. The home's layout, with the living room, kitchen and piazza on the first floor and the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and another piazza on the second floor, provide space for you and your guests to either interact together or retreat into separate spaces on your own.
Built in 1852, Gertie's Downtown is a grand ole dame of a home that oozes character & charm. While the home does have many architectural features you'd expect to find in a home of this age (like old windows, doors & bricks for the non-functioning fireplaces) and is located near the Crosstown highway (which can be noisy during the day & night), it has several modern features like its beautifully renovated kitchen and new flooring throughout the ground floor. The nightly rental rate reflects the older nature of this home. We do allow small dogs under 40 lbs at this home. Please note that there is no dedicated off-street parking for this home.

With close proximity to upper King Street and the Crosstown (Septima P. Clark Parkway), the location of this home enables guests to walk to restaurants, shops & other cultural delights and provides quick road access to Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley, all local beaches, Charleston County parks, historic plantation homes along the Ashley River and other local attractions. There are a lot of new local restaurants -- as well as all the offerings of Upper King Street -- within a couple of minutes stroll from Murphy on St. Philip. With D'Allesandros Pizza (a local pizza institution), Brown's Court Bakery (amazing breads & pastries) and the Ordinary (high end oyster & seafood restaurant) located just a couple of blocks away, Gertie's Downtown guests have many unique local food options to explore. Walk to Barsa for some tapas or visit the Daily for some coffee or locally made kombucha!
The home is located in a very friendly neighborhood which is undergoing vibrant growth and change, as is much of Charleston. This is the best neighborhood in Charleston if you are looking to be steps away from King Street and experience the area as a local in a transitional neighborhood among young professionals, students and longtime local families. All the neighbors are very nice and welcoming. The persity and richness of history in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood makes this part of town desirable to locals and visitors alike. Gertie's Downtown is perfect for folks who enjoy a perse, vibrant and eclectic neighborhood where you can watch the reinvestment & revitalization in old historic properties going on in real time. Parts of the neighborhood might still look a bit rough but it is safe.
We are close to the crosstown parkway, which may impact light sleepers with the highway traffic noises. There is also construction in the street which is almost complete but may result in additional noise during the day.

At A Glance!
Reviews indicate that this property boasts a fantastic location, with easy access to King Street and various attractions, making it ideal for those looking to explore downtown Charleston. Guests frequently mention the comfort of the accommodations and the responsiveness of the property manager. However, the lack of on-site parking and some noise from nearby construction are noted as drawbacks. Overall, the sentiment is largely positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Great place and great location
I went to Charleston to celebrate my nephew for his graduation. Great place so we could each have our own bedroom and bathroom. Centrally located to everything and walking distance to all the great spots. Be sure to have parking scoped out as they are clear - no off street parking and it is a bit difficult to find.

Loved this place!
The location was fantastic. There was everything we needed in the house. The hosts were overly communicative (which I so appreciated) and we had the best time!

Great location
Check in was easy and location at top of King Street made walking downtown easy. Construction next door was noisy wake up call but we were gone most days. No on street parking was not issue with tip of parking under overpass close by for free. Toaster oven should be replaced and more tp should be provided as a general convenience.

No parking but everything else was great!

Charleston
Parking situation was less than convenient but normal for downtown Charleston. Traffic noise was a little bit annoying. Location is within walking distance of pretty much everything so that was nice. There was a situation that required the police to remove a person from the street causing a disturbance. The beds were not the most comfortable. The construction on the neighboring houses provided early unwelcome alarms.

Great stay, walkable to anything you need
We have a toddler so we drove most every where. But I did walk to a few spots to get coffee in the morning and takeout for dinner. There's free parking under the bridge a few blocks away. Unloading/loading the car is relatively simple then moving it to the parking location was easy. The house is nice and was an overall great stay for our small family.

Our stay was perfect! Steve was a welcoming, accommodating, and gracious host. We will definitely return as the location was perfect for our trip. Very charming!

Clean, spacious and convenient
Nice place for family of four to stay. Area seemed a bit sketchy at first but ended up being fine and safe. Beds were comfy and rooms were rustic. Kitchen had everything you needed. Wifi was generally ok although I did have a little trouble with buffering while watching Amazon prime. Biggest downside is no street or driveway parking even though there is a driveway. Overall a nice place to stay.

Great Location!
We reserved. This family would be visiting with us in Charleston for an extended time. The house was clean and comfortable, and the perfect location. Easy to get to all the great spots on King Street. Coffee shops blocks in either direction! We would definitely rent again for ourselves friends or family!
