My stay was an absolute...
This historic property was absolutely amazing in every way!! Within walking distance of all things historic Charleston, 86 Church st. Provides the perfect base for the adventurous traveler. If you are a foodie, like my wife and I, this location provides a wide range of dining experiences all just a leisurely stroll away. Perhaps you are taking in a bit of history during your stay or just want to relax in the spacious, well lit, and surprisingly quiet courtyard, you will find it all obtainable with minimal effort at 86 Church.
Everything was perfect in the smaller house for our level of mobility but I will say if you do have mobility issues you may want to opt for the larger house located on the property. I read a lot of reviews before choosing 86 Church st. and I will admit I was worried about the small steps leading to the second level. The steps were definitely narrow and not suitable for carrying luggage up or down but there were very suitable stairs on the outside of the house built to address this very issue. The steps on the interior of the house, in my opinion, only add to the charm and speak to the history of the house but I can see that someone with major mobility issues would not be comfortable navigating the interior stairs. All that aside don’t be discouraged by other reviews. You won’t be rushing down these stairs for sure. Keeping with the atmosphere that is Charleston this quirky little staircase reminded me to slow down, take my time, and enjoy the rich history of this beautiful city I was so fortunate to experience.
