Charming with Amazing location

Such a charming place to stay in the historic Charleston district. So close to the tour locations and water for the sunset cruise. Amazing friendly staff and the breakfast was AMAZING! Such a wonderful place. No elevator, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairways.
Wonderful carriage ride through the historic city
Sunset cruise was fun and a great excuse to get out on the water
Favorite little statue in the stair landing area
