About this property
⭐Free Parking⭐ - Walk to Downtown & MUSC
Summary:
The Parson Inn is located in historic downtown Charleston one block from Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Our Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood is considered the "Gateway to the Peninsula". There are a number of local restaurants, bakeries, and other small boutiques. A spa, yoga studio and an Italian sandwich cafe are within steps of the the front door. The Room has a shared bathroom with one other guest room. Parking is provided onsite for one car.
Cert of Ops - OP2018-00253
The Space:
The house is a traditional Charleston single house built in 1852. It has been renovated but still has its historic charm.
The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is surrounded by the Medical University of South Carolina. It is a vibrant community that is just a few blocks from King Street, where you will find restaurants, bars and shops galore. Our neighborhood has restaurants, a yoga studio and a spa within steps of the house.
Getting Around:
You can either walk, bike or Uber to most any place. There is also a free shuttle that transports visitors to the city center. Parking is supplied onsite for one car and there is street parking available for other cars. The MUSC parking garage is also just steps away. We suggest an economy size vehicle to navigate the narrow downtown Charleston streets.
Other Things to Note:
A microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker are provided in the room.
