Rutledge Victorian Guest House, Charleston

I love this place! I was traveling alone, and stayed in the Emilie room, a small, cozy room with a shared bathroom/shower but a sink in the room. The shared bathroom was no problem at all. This place was the best deal in Charleston that I could find. I don't care about Victorian furnishing and all that, but what I loved were the tree-filled front and back yards, the wraparound porch full of rocking chairs, side tables, magazines, and three friendly cats, and the great location 4 blocks away from downtown Charleston. Of course, there was also the cut-glass decanter of brandy with two chocolates in the room when I checked in, the free continental breakfast and coffee and juice in the morning, and the afternoon sherry that also made me love this place :-) I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Charleston, which was also a lot of fun to visit.
