When it comes to Southern hospitality, it doesn’t get better than Charleston. The South Carolinian hotspot has it all: awe-inspiring architecture, vibrant nightlife, mouth-watering cuisine, and beautiful beaches. In fact, it’s that mix of city and lowcountry that makes Charleston a top choice for spring break and bachelorette weekends alike.

All of which is well and good, but if you’re planning a trip for a group, where are you going to stay? While the area has no shortage of hotels, staying at an Airbnb is arguably the best way to authentically capture its spirit (not to mention, you get more room for everyone). Since Charleston is known for its mix of Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian architecture, a rental gives you the unique opportunity to live in a historic home–even if just for a short while.

If you’re looking for a rental with convenience and style, the best accommodations are in Cannonborough Elliotborough, which is close to Charleston’s lauded King Street. That said, there are plenty of hidden gems in nearby areas like Harleston Village and Wagener Terrace.
