Amazing Weekend

We had an amazing weekend staying at Gertie's Downtown. The unit was extremely clean and very convenient to everything on King Street. The home is a very charming historic home with lots of room and everything you need to enjoy your stay. The communication from iTrip was amazing and check-in was super easy. We will definitely stay again!

Great quick getaway!

Overall, this place was exactly what we needed! It was close to everywhere we needed to go and short uber/lyft trips away from downtown and isle of palms. There was plenty to see just around the corner with little shops and restaurants! I would stay again.

The place was great! Perfect location to walk to everything downtown just off of King Street. Living room and kitchen super nice and newly renovated and the bedrooms were good too! My only complaints would be about TV instructions/ maybe a bigger TV but thats really it!Thank you!

Great stay in Charleston

Our group of 3 was very happy with our stay at the house. We would boom again! Plenty to do within a walking distance or short drive / uber. The street was nice and safe, very pleasant neighborhood. The communication with the host was easy and they sent all of the information we needed.

We loved Gertie’s!

Great location, we were minutes walk from upper king street, which was ideal for us with all the bars and restaurants! The property is very charming and was perfect for a quick girls trip. The hosts very SUPER fast to communicate. We wish there was more toilet paper provided and more chairs on the upper piazza but other than that it was perfect for us. Thanks for having us!

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.

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.

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.

A Weekend to Remember

We were in love from the moment we walked in to this beautiful, little place! We loved the history of the home and how unique it truly was. I must say the pictures don’t do it justice! We absolutely loved the charm that really captured the southern hospitality Charleston has to offer! So spacious and convenient to walk to practically anything you would like in downtown Charleston! The only downfall was the parking situation. We used a lot located on King street and it was roughly $30 a day. The wonderful hosts were very informative and nice! All in all, we had a wonderful experience. City noise wasn’t as bad as I expected and definitely would stay here again!

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.

Very quaint but could use a couple updates.

The house was well stocked and had everything we could possibly imagine! The wine refrigerator was a great surprise. The location was a fantastic gateway to the places that we wanted to go to as we were right off King Street. Plus, our hosts generously gave us a bottle of wine with key lime cookies. The things that I would change is with the upstairs being hotter than downstairs, you don’t need polyester sheets. Also, the main bathroom drain is clogged. Finally, the front door has a gap at the bottom that was letting in the cold air. I don’t know much about heating and air, but I wonder if the system was battling the cold downstairs to make it warm upstairs. Overall, it was a pleasant experience staying at Gertie’s downtown and I would book it again.

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.

A few things to be aware of

The host was excellent, available and informative. The location and cleanliness were also excellent. Prospective renters should be aware of a couple of drawbacks. The house is difficult for older users. Only 1 of the two bedrooms has an en suite bathroom. The other has no closet and the bathroom is up another set of stairs and is tiny. Both bathrooms are upstairs and the stairs are a bit steep. The kitchen "table" consists of two IKEA rolling counters. The wheels do not seem to lock so they move a lot. The two piazzas are lovely but there is no furniture so they really can't be enjoyed. Compared to other properties I have rented the supplies )(staples, toilet paper) are extremely limited. Most hosts provide at least a starter coffee setup but this one does not. Kitchen staples (sugar, flour,coffee filters) are not supplied. We enjoyed our stay and Charleston is a beautiful city. I suggest the host review the stocking of staples. Especially annoying is the rationing of toilet paper.
