"The house, accommodations, location, and hospitality cannot be beat. The house and accommodations are very nice, a traditional Charleston "single house" with double piazza (porch). Secondly, the house is in a great location - right in the battery. You are within 15 minutes walking distance of most restaurants, tours, and attractions. You are also only one block from the East Bay and East Battery Street. Third, the hospitality of Jack and Annelise Simmons are unmatched. They provided recommendations for dinner and tours, and were willing to make reservations if needed. They also hosted an optional and informal wine and cheese gathering every evening before everyone takes off for their respective dining locations. The gathering is particularly helpful for guests because everyone talks about the events of their day and you get ideas of what you may want to do before leaving Charleston. This was our second stay here, and when and if we ever travel to Charleston again, this will definitely be where we stay."
