About this apartment rental
Welcome to 8C at the Alexander Wilson House at St. Philip Square. Enjoy beautifully renovated properties in the heart of historic downtown Charleston and less than 1 block to King Street. DETAILS OF THIS PROPERTY: •4 bedrooms •2 queen bed, 4 single beds that can be converted to two King beds with $75 fee for each room wanted, 1 queen sofa sleeper •4 all new bathrooms with marble and glass. •One bathtub. All ensuite. •All new, fully stocked kitchen, quartz counter •Piazza with glass table for 8 •Historic, high ceilings, hardwood floors •Fully renovated, professionally designed •Great for groups •One parking spot for this quintessential Charleston single house, this apartment is located on the second floor of one of Charleston's special historic houses. You enter the house through street steps onto the first floor piazza and then up the steps to the second floor overlooking treetops and rooftops. Now enter the apartment from the second floor piazza into a large high ceilinged GREAT ROOM with beautiful hardwood floors, a large dining room table. The brand new KITCHEN with elegant cabinetry and quartz counter is tucked away to the rear of this light-filled "great room". The marble counter with barstools is an inviting gathering space where you can visit, watch the cook or enjoy a glass of wine. The kitchen has a complete supply of dishes and cookware. We have tried to add items that would make entertaining a joy. LIVING ROOM/4TH BEDROOM To the left are double folding doors leading into the grand living room with classic fireplace. The room is furnished with 4 velvet swivel chairs on brass legs and a top of the line, beautiful sofa sleeper with gel queen mattress. In one corner, next to the fireplace, is a very clever and complete BATHROOM (2nd) with roomy marble shower with handsome glass door. Guests can use this room as a 4th bedroom with a very secure door. The great room where you enter and the well equipped kitchen complement the gracious living room along with the piazza to make a comfortable and attractive space for friends and family to mix and socialize in a typical Charleston setting. MASTER BEDROOM Off of the dining room to the right is a small but comfortable bedroom (BR 1) with queen bed, a pretty window and closet and an entrance to the BATHROOM (1) with a soaking tub/shower. This bathroom can also be entered from the entrance room so also serves as another guest/common bathroom. DORMER ROOMS Between the kitchen and the living room is a charming spiral staircase leading to two super charming DORMER ROOMS (2&3), each with their OWN BATH (2&3). These rooms have the oldest and prettiest floors of any of our properties The triple windows look over the rooftops and are a joy to experience. Each of these rooms has a King Bed with the idea that there is plenty of room for couples or singles that want the larger bed size to share. Of course the space is perfect for children but also a couple would be happy since each room has total privacy including closet space and desks. The space is under the dormers so a tall person will duck if getting in and out from the sides. The middle space in front of the window is full height. Let us know your preference so we can have it set up the way you want. Each apartment has something special but this might be our favorite. It is elegant and provides an opportunity for our guests to receive their guests as a Charlestonian would. The three apartments in this building are all separate but connect through the piazzas and provide the perfect space to be together and separate.

This place was perfect for our group of 7 girlfriends in town for the Charleston Wine and Food Festival. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the visitor's center where we caught our shuttle out to the Village. We enjoyed the courtyard and fire pits after a long day. I highly recommend to those looking for comfort, convenience and have the physical ability to climb stairs.

We had a great weekend and the house was very clean. The location was walking distance to everything we wanted. Parking is a challenge if you have more than one car but there is a garage nearby. Definitely would stay again!

Great location, just a block off of King St. Loads of local spots for coffee, happy hour or lunch/dinner. Walk to most areas easily. The accommodations are a bit small for 5 adults as the 4th bedroom is actually the living room. Plenty of outside seating. Washer/dryer and grill are shared with several other units. Would still book again.

We had a great trip. The unit is beautiful, super clean, in a great location and perfect for our group of 6. The beds were super comfortable too. And the 4 bathrooms worked well fir our group. Overall it was fantastic!

We had plenty of space to sit around and chat which was our #1 goal. Kitchen was fabulous. Beds were a hit with great mattresses and sheets.
A couple of things to note... 1. Light in bathroom in the murphy bed room doesn't work. pretty dark. 2. No lights on the front of the unit to mark our place so was very difficult to find it. Plus the "1" is missing in 178. 3. The sink in that same bathroom (as mentioned above) the water did not get hot. 4. The bathroom with the sink in the window upstairs needs a light. Hard to put on makeup.
These are not deal breakers by any means but just thought you should know. We will still recommend this place to our friends and family.

There were seven of us and we all wanted to have our own beds to sleep in. There was plenty of rooms, beds, and bathrooms so we were able to hangout yet have our own spaces to get ready. It is a really cute place with a great porch to hang out in. it’s right on the heart of things so we often just walked to restaurants and shopping. it was totally safe and we were never nervous about walking back late at night. The contact person was extremely responsive and even accommodated us checking in early age checking out later! Great stay!

Pretty smooth process renting this property. The unit was nicely decorated and very clean. The pictures do it justice. Just be aware that there is one bedroom on the first floor and a Murphy bed in the living room. Two other bedrooms are up a spiral stair case. The two upstairs rooms have twin beds. And the bathrooms are tight. Amenities were perfect too. Oh and the outdoor space or piazza was great as well. Definitely recommend!

We were 5 friends in a book club traveling together. The home was beautiful, very clean, with comfortable beds, and convenient to everything. Just one block off King Street, there are many restaurants and bars within a couple blocks. The historic area is only about 1 mile away-an easy walk or Lyft trip. There was some street noise, so bring ear plugs and/or make use of the 2 white noise machines. We enjoyed the piazza (porch) for coffee and tea in the mornings and loved Maya and The Grocery for dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

My five girlfriends and I were looking for a cute place to celebrate my 50th birthday. We wanted something nice and cozy, where we could all just hang out and chill. The house was so cute and exactly what we were looking for. The location was perfect! We walked to all the restaurants and shops and didn't feel at all unsafe. We had a few questions when we arrived and the property manager was quick to respond to our text messages and phone calls. The main living room had a sofa bed and a Murphy bed! The extra bathroom downstairs in the living room was gorgeous! Several of us girls enjoyed using that shower. It was beautiful. There is a small spiral staircase that leads to the upstairs bedrooms. It was a challenge getting our extra large suitcases up there but we managed to do so. Just wanted folks to be aware of that. The girls and I loved the house and will most likely stay here again when we come back. It was located is the perfect location.

This property was perfect for a college friends' reunion. There were 6 adult women (aged 52) and there was plenty of room. The beds were comfortable and the location was great. Communication with Jamie was seamless. Would definitely book again.

The property was very clean. Beds were comfortable and pillows were great. The steps were not for the faint hearted and the angled ceiling upstairs a bit of a head challenge for the taller folks. Bathrooms were oddly proportioned. Generally a nice place to stay.

6 of us from the Midwest came together to celebrate a birthday and bachelorette party. Perfect size for us and the location was great. Not the best communication through the app with property owner but via text was great.

I rented this to celebrate my Mom's 70th Birthday with my sister, mom and our spouses. The house was perfect for the occasion, it is very close to walk to all that CHS has to offer but is also ideal to enjoy some down time together on the patio during a rain shower or having coffee in the LR each morning. The house is very clean and mostly equipped for all of your cooking needs. I enjoyed the fact that each bedroom had a full bath, which allows everyone great privacy. The split AC units worked great and the beds were very comfy - great sleeping! Highly recommend, would stay here again!
