I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but this place was amazing! It was spacious enough for 3 couples. The bedrooms, living space, and kitchen were huge. You cannot beat the location, being able to walk to the downtown area in minutes. We will definitely stay here again!
Fabulous place to stay. Great location. We had some of the best food. Gave 4 stars for accuracy of description because we never found the hot tub/spa. Beautiful areas to sit and talk.
5 lifelong friends met in Charleston and stayed at this amazing property.
Property was very spacious and clean.
Location is excellent. So many things to discover within walking distance.
Accommodations had everything we needed for the trip.
Andrea our host was extremely responsive and replied immediately to any questions.
If we plan a return trip we would definitely stay at this property again.
Highly recommended!!
We stayed at this property to move our daughter into CofC. The college was within walking distance and the space we had in the property made it so easy to organize and be comfortable during our stay. We are excited to book this property again for our future stays in Charleston.
The place was so nice, with lots of space, beautiful kitchen, and separate living spaces so everyone could enjoy our time in the home during down time. It is literally steps to the market and the carriage tour company, which made our short trip still easy to access and enjoy all the city had to offer. Would love to stay even longer next time to take advantage of the updated kitchen, big tub in the master bath, and washer/dryer as amenities!
This was a fabulous property. 3 couples--childhood friends who hadn't seen each other for over 25 years! The unit is everything they say. Totally updated, beautiful bedrooms - two with their own bathrooms, 1 uses the had bathroom. Updated appliances, nice seating area for great conversations. AND oh, by the way, perfect location for getting right into the action in Charleston. So we would say - you can't go wrong picking this unit for your next trip.
It was my first time doing a VRBO so wasn’t sure what to expect but the house was perfectly located as everyone has said. It was clean, well maintained, and in good order. The long list of things we were required to do with penalties for noncompliance was a little daunting, but maybe that is standard in this kind of home. I would definitely recommend it.
Bright, clean, HUGE. The location is perfect - we didn't even rent a car. And a private elevator, adding that extra posh touch. It's a little more than some nearby properties, but don't you need to pamper yourself?
This was a spectacular weekend spot for friends to gather after years of not being together. The place was perfectly equipped and really well done all around!!
Extremely clean, very large bedrooms and bathrooms, excellent location. We stayed 4 nights and didn't even rent a car. Andrea is very easy to work with. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay at Ansonborough. The location was great, the unit was very clean, well equipped and roomy for the three couples over a long weekend. Andrea was very responsive and very quick to respond to issue with the air conditioning. I would recommend Ansonborough as a great choice in Charleston. JC
It was better than advertised. The place was so beautifully decorated, the pictures don’t do this home justice as to just how big it is once you walk in. The elevator is a back saver since the unit is on the second floor. My daughters wedding was at Emeline’s, so it was less than a 3 minute walk to the venue. This home was exactly what we were hoping it would be.
Andrea was wonderful to deal with, check in was a breeze. The only issue was parking, it comes with just one spot, so it was difficult getting our friends parked during the busy weekend.
We travel quite a bit, and always use Vrbo. This was hands down the nicest home we’ve ever rented.
This is a really cool flat on the second story of a building. My husband and I stayed there with our three kids (ages 8-12) and it served us really well. It's beautifully decorated and the location couldn't be better for those wanting to move around Charleston on foot or by pedicab. Great restaurants nearby -- due to COVID we did a lot of takeout -- and fabulous shopping and sightseeing. We've been to Charleston many times over the years and stayed in a lot of really nice hotels. This stacks up really well -- especially since there was room for the whole family! We would book it again!
Great and safe location. The home is well equipped with everything you need, from dishes to cleaning supplies, towels, washer and dryer. Quiet at night, hardly any street noise at all
Our family had a great 4-day visit to Charleston; this property is a great location for walking to Market Street and restaurants. House is very large/spacious; great kitchen; beautiful plantation shutters in all bedrooms.
