2 King Bedrooms/2 Bath in the Original Walled City. Access History within Steps

Jacobson Building at 19 Broad's location is second to none: 1 block south of the Historic Charleston City Market, 1 block north of the iconic Battery on Charleston Harbor, 1 block west of Waterfront Park on the Cooper River, and 1 block east of Washington Park, the Four Corners of Law, and Museum Mile. Rainbow Row is less than 1/4 block around the corner on East Bay St.
We offer a very large 2000 sq. ft. Apartment. Each bedroom has a King Bed and Private Sitting Area. Bedrooms are separated by large living area and kitchen/dining area. PLEASE NOTE: Add a 3rd bedroom and bath to this apartment if needed. See our listing Vrbo 859047.

The Original Walled City IS the Old & Historic Area: Rainbow Row, St. Philip's Church, Dock Street Theatre, the Battery, Exchange Building, Four Corners of Law (where you'll find the Sweetgrass Basket artisans), Nathaniel Russell House, Calhoun Mansion and so very much more, including World Class Restaurants, are all within several blocks of Jacobson Building at 19 Broad!

As Proprietors, we care deeply about our property and our guests. We are a City of Charleston licensed rental and have operated as an inn since 2002.
19 Broad is downtown Charleston's most spacious and grand apartment accommodation with 2000 square feet including 2 large king bedrooms, family room, 2 large baths and a location second to none — perfect for couples, families and business travelers who seek the space and privacy of a full apartment without the expense of a hotel room. Each bedroom has a King Bed plus Sitting Area for privacy. Other 2 bedroom apartments advertised in our area on Meeting Street and near the Market Street range from 400-700 sq. ft. Our location is unparalleled and located in the true Old & Historic District.

JAKES on our first floor offers Illy Coffee and fresh breakfast and lunch items daily and Oak Steakhouse is next door, offering incredibly delicious steaks and a unique fine dining experience. Establishment across the street offers fresh seafood selections along with nightly specials. Dating back to the Prohibition is the Blind Tiger Pub, within our block, just to the west across Broad Street.

Our charming circa 1794 property is located at the crux of the French Quarter and historic Charlestowne neighborhoods, within one block of the best shopping, dining, history and architecture in Charleston.  Over 50 World class restaurants within very close walking distance include Magnolias, Husk, FIG, Peninsula Grill, Charleston Grill, Blossom, Cru Cafe, Grill 225, Revival, SNOB, Hyman's Seafood and so many more. Next door is OAK Steak House, serving fresh seafood and amazing beef! We recommend an easy nearby walk North on East Bay Street up to Market Street and South on Meeting Street to take in all the restaurant offerings. We are members of the Charleston Area Visitors Bureau and stock ample copies of our Guidebooks in our apartments.

19 Broad features original Charleston brick hearths and heart pine floors, period millwork, original molding and Charleston's most spacious rooms with 16 foot high ceilings. Perfect for 2 couples with private seating areas in each King Bedroom.
The property is a renovated and updated bank building dating back to 1794, prominently positioned on historic Broad Street and surrounded by Charleston’s most famous architecture, parks and gardens. 14 foot windows overlooking Historic Broad Street are awe inspiring. Our guest rooms feature quality home furniture, king size beds, full bathrooms with tile floors and showers, large social spaces, cooking and dining spaces, complimentary WiFi and Smart Internet Televisions. The entire property can hold 6 guests, but is subdivided into separate private apartments in order to accommodate multiple smaller parties entirely independent from one another.
2 King Bedroom Apartment; Large 2000 square feet:
After ascending 19 Broad’s exterior staircase off Broad Street, guests enter a secured foyer located off the second floor landing. Through the foyer, guests continue straight ahead to arrive in a spacious living room, complete with large sofa, several armchairs, coffee table, gas fireplace, basic cable TV, kitchenette, dining for four and full bathroom with tile shower.

At the south end of the living room is the entrance to the huge master bedroom featuring a king bed and sitting area, plus private bathroom with tile shower and internet with Smart TV.

At the north end of the living room is the entrance to the spacious guest bedroom featuring a king bed, gas fireplace, and incorporated sitting area offering all guests utmost comfort and privacy. This beautiful bedroom has a view of Historic Broad Street thru original 14 foot window.

The 2000 sq. ft. apartment features original floors, walls and ceiling, and massive original windows. Our ceilings are 16 feet high and each bedroom is completely private with comfortable seating for maximum privacy. Jacobson Building at 19 Broad Street is the only accommodation in the Historic District boasting original architecture and spacious rooms in one of Historic Charleston's Grandest Buildings. We are the only accommodation in our block between Church and State Streets licensed by the City of Charleston! The Grand Exchange Building is in our block, as is City Hall and the Old Charleston Post Office, still functioning and offering a Museum. Additionally the oldest Liquor Store in the country is on East Bay just steps away and Rainbow Row is just around the corner at Elliot & East Bay Street, within very close site of Waterfront Park. Folks, Old Charleston is indeed on Broad Street and 19 Broad Circa 1794 plays a vital role!

More Information:
19 Broad affords all guests complimentary coffee, paper towels, bath towels, wash cloths, toilet tissue and shower gel. While we are happy to direct guests to nearby pharmacies and convenient stores, we do suggest that guests bring personal toiletries and cosmetics in order to ensure optimal comfort. All beds are neatly made with freshly laundered sheets prior to arrival.

Our neighborhood constitutes a unique blend of commercial properties and residential homes. Accordingly, the City of Charleston enforces a noise ordinance between the hours of 11:00 pm and 7:00 am. Out of respect for our loyal guests, as well as our neighbors in the City of Charleston, we ask our guests to exercise consideration of their surroundings and to adhere to this ordinance from the hours of 11:00 pm to 7:00 am.

For any and every occasion, a vacation in Charleston deserves respectable celebration. Our property is the perfect space for large families, girls’ weekends, golfing trips, wedding parties, traveling couples, and more.

Larger parties requiring 3 bedrooms and baths may add our King Studio which is accessed via a common foyer. See VRBO #859047

We loved staying here. Two recommendations. Let guests know about the steep stairs up to apartment. And the cleaning products have a very strong, toxic smell.Took two days for it to fade.

Two friends and I wanted something special for celebrating our eighth decade on earth. This apartment and it’s location in a beautiful city “fit the bill” for us. The apartment was just as described, spacious, historic, even elegant. We were able to have breakfast there to prepare us for our busy days. We got excellent sleep in our big comfortable beds.

Fabulous location!
We were so pleased with our girls trip to Charleston! Within walking distance to all attractions & fabulous restaurants, this VRBO was very comfortable for 4 ladies with a full kitchen. The owner was accessible for any questions or issues, but we had no problems. The beds were great & the living area comfortable. I would highly recommend it for a couples or girls get away. Many thanks, Jackie

Perfect location to see Charleston
Stayed in Charleston for a 5 day family destination wedding. This location is perfect for walking/strolling to shops, bars, restaurants, sights. Anything else is a short Uber ride. Neighborhood very safe. The home was perfect. Very comfortable beds (master is memory foam), clean and easy access to everything. We also booked the additional apartment which is next to this home. Had a challenge with the all-in-one washer dryer but finally figured it out. Would definitely return to Charleston and would want to stay here again.

Had a wonderful time at this apartment. Can't beat the location. Parked the car and never moved it until we left. Very comfortable beds and the showers were great. Great eateries nearby. Lighting needs to be improved - the ceiling fan lights just don't cut it if you want to play games at the table. Be aware that the flight of steps going up to the entry are steep for you older folks! Security was good! I would definitely recommend :)

Favorite aunt
This place feels like going to your favorite aunt’s house. She has taken great care to prepare for your stay, making sure everything is clean and there’s lots of clean linens, and extra items in the kitchen. The decorations are artful and eclectic. This is how VRBO started - with people sharing vacation homes they truly care about - not a profit-driven bare bones kind of property. And the location is fantastic! Only drawbacks are the somewhat narrow metal stairs and the location of the second bathroom is a bit awkward, but some trade offs are to be expected with historic preservation.
