Wonderful place to stay in Charleston

We just got back from our trip to Charleston and the Lady Banks house far exceeded my expectations. The house was very pretty and the bathrooms nice and updated. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was very clean. We enjoyed coffee outside in the mornings in the little garden and it was a perfect for walking down to King St and being able to get anywhere you wanted to go. We all loved our stay there.

Perfect Home Base for Touring Charleston

The Lady Banks house was the ideal location for touring Charleston. The beautifully restored and furnished traditional Charleston home was spacious, modern and still had the ambience of the city's history. We mostly walked but Uber rides were close and reasonable as well. Stay Duvet provided all of the support and amentities we could ask for. This rental is highly recommended.

Perfect Charleston retreat

This was SUCH a great place to stay for our Charleston weekend. The home is beautifully appointed, taking into account comfort, special features and touches, and a Charleston ambiance. There were multiple spaces to sit and relax after our downtown strolls. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were excellent. This is a nice location - easy to get to all conveniences and of course the fabulous King Street. THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful home with us !

Check in process & location

The house is not one block away from King street. It is blocks away. I never received the email to be able to check in. I tried to send a message but did not receive a response for hours. Then when I called the person I spoke to was condescending. I could have been angry when spoke to her considering the situation but I chose to be polite. She really had nothing to do with the fact I did not receive the email but I also have nothing to do with the fact that others may rude to her. As a person who paid a lot to stay at the house, I didn't appreciate her treatment or the lie about the location. After all, we paid for a location that was not true!

Amazing Stay!

Lady Banks proved to be a wonderful place to enjoy our stay in Charleston! The home is incredibly spacious and has such a warm, welcoming feel to it. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. And that master bath... wow! There is an awesome bagel shop steps from the house and a great bakery another block away. The location turned out to be very convenient... about two blocks from King Street. We could get to a long list of shops & restaurants in minutes. One word of warning, there is a fire station down the street. So you can count on hearing sirens at least once a night. But I would still absolutely stay here again!

Great time in Charleston

The house was great.Very charming. This was a girl’s weekend with my daughters. We thoroughly enjoyed Charleston and all of its history and beauty. The only hitch we had was I expected address and check in sent to my email few days prior to arrival. I received email with website to click on. Once clicking, went to sign on for VRBO account which I didn’t have. Had to create, then when clicked on reservation still no instructions. Had to call and someone emailed everything. Would have been more seamless if they just emailed info to begin with. Other than that, trip was great!

My wife and I stayed here for our 25th anniversary and had a wonderful time. The home is exactly as described, from comfortable beds to the cozy library, clean bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Plenty of things in walking distance, or a quick drive or Uber to the best restaurants on Queen Street. Thank you, we’ll definitely be back again!

We had a lovely time overall. The property was a tad bit farther from the center of downtown than ideal but the house has been beautifully remodeled. The deep soaking tub was an absolute highlight! We were able to walk everywhere (walked 30 miles in. 4 1/2 days!!!!) - which worked out well since every meal we enjoyed was phenomenal. Halls Chophouse, Hanks Seafood and High Cotton were some of our favorites.

Mid June vacation

Overall it was good, not great, but good. There was an odor in the master BR that the property manager attributed to moist ground. They were well aware of it, there was numerous odor absorbers in that room. My opinion is that it was a dead animal in the fireplace or walls. My friends slept with the window open. The TV in the 2nd BR did not work & I calked & sent a message, neither was answered. There was a random pillow near the W & D, it was stained & had bugs on it. I get it... it's the south, however? Thank goodness all the drawers & shelves in the kitchen were labeled, we never would have known where to put our silverware. 😂😂😂 Other than those really minor issues, it was a good stay. The bagel place down the street is AWESOME! (Closed on Mon/Tues)

Charleston trip to look at wedding venues

Property was very nice and convenient to walk to eating and entertainment. We did have a issue with the downstairs air conditioner not working. I called the stay duvet concierge line and they had someone out to work on it within 30 minutes. Unfortunately the repairman said he fixed it, but it still did not work the rest of our stay, but that is not the property mangers fault. Overall a very nice property and location. I would highly recommend for a group a 4 or 5.
