“What stands out here is the chance to stay in a historically significant, private cottage right in the heart of Charleston's French Quarter. The property has full kitchens in each cottage and unique access to a shared courtyard, making it a great choice for longer stays. I particularly appreciate its location opposite the Heyward-Washington House, offering a tangible connection to the city's past.”
