About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Urban Oasis. Located in Charleston's Hip, Historic East End

The Oasis is a charming, stand-alone apartment located within walking distance of the state capitol and close to all area entertainment. Very private, peaceful and quiet.

There is one very comfortable queen-sized bed. The couch is more of a sitting, not a sleeping couch, so if there are two of you, make sure you're OK with sharing a bed. There are blinds and curtains for a great nights sleep.

Parking is on-street without parking restrictions on a quiet residential street. There is always parking available close by. The neighborhood is safe and the apartment is fifty feet off the street down a very well lit paved driveway.

Enjoy a stroll through the historic east end of Charleston to the nearby Capitol with its golden dome. Two blocks north of the Kanawha River with its walking and bike riding paths. Walk to nearby restaurants and music venues. Only one mile from downtown and its variety of restaurants, entertainment venues and places of interest. Of note, the 1010 Restaurant (reservations a must), West Virginia's only James Beard Award winning Chef in 2024. Plus new and exciting restaurants opening in 2024.

Afterwards, return to your own comfy, cozy and tranquil little piece of Charleston.

With a big thank you to our past guests the reviews are wonderful and give an unbiased perspective of this quiet hideaway in West Virginia's capitol city. More than 150 satisfied guests since the Oasis opened.

Ask about SECURE BIKE STORAGE. Includes space to work on the bike if needed and not having to manhandle the bike(s) into your living space.

Ahhhhhh a Respid
Living space is meticulously decorated and organized. A British style flat that is just lovely. My stay also by happenstance, enabled me to meet a lovely standard poodle who was investigative of me and rested his chin on my hand through the fence. Of course im not endorsing petting the poodles. Just saying I love animals. Stop by the wonderful cheese shop (recommended by the owners)

Absolutely Wonderful
Wow! What an incredible gem of a place to stay while visiting Charleston. We stayed for 4 nights while visiting my wife’s hometown and family and we were sad to leave. It’s charming and our hosts really have thought of everything to ensure comfort. We especially loved chatting with them and getting to know them, and found them both to be really delightful people. Cannot emphasize enough how much we enjoyed our stay and we will definitely use them again for our next visit!!

Hidden Gem
The Urban Oasis is adorable! It’s tucked behind the street’s main homes, so it felt quiet and private. It’s just the right amount of space for two with more than enough amenities. It was also a convenient home base for the other places we wanted to see during our visit. The host, Alan, was gracious and checked in to make sure we had what we needed. A terrific experience for us!

Junior Olympian approved!!
My daughter and I stayed at Alan’s beautiful Urban Oasis while she competed to qualify for the Junior Olympics. The location was ideal as it was very close to the track with every amenity we needed close by. My now Junior Olympian loved the cozy bed and she was well rested for her competition. We felt very safe and had no issue with anything. Thanks for a great stay and helping her reach her goals!

A home away from home.
Exceptionally clean, great neighborhood, quiet and comfortable. I always have difficulty sleeping in a hotel, but the Urban Oasis was just like coming home. I slept like a baby feeling confident I was safe and in a welcoming environment. Don't waste your money on a hotel, this place is where it's at!

Almost Heaven
Alan's place is clean and comfortable. We were there for the Vandalia festival at the Capitol and we were within walking distance. Downtown is less than 2 miles and we had great meals. We also brought the motorcycle and took a few beautiful rides in the mountains.

Cyclist Oasis
Came for the US Cycling National Road Championship. Agree with every other 5 star review. The host made his secure garage available for our racing bikes, which enabled us to enjoy the whole living space without our bikes in it. I wish I’d had more time to explore the riding around Charlston, but the in-city roads were great and, for those who like a bike path, the Kanawha River has a pretty good one. Highly recommend.

Comfy Property in GREAT Neighborhood
We loved this place! Full of period pieces and comfort. We came to town to just see beautiful Charleston and cycle. It is close to beautiful paths on the river and by the Capital and downtown. Lovely old houses to see, and the State Capital grounds. Apartment is carefully appointed with everything you need. Bed is comfy, tv works great, nice linens, glassware, coffeemaker. Alan and Shannon are nearby- and met us when we arrived which was great. We stored our bikes in the garage, and that was so handy. Communication was good the whole stay. Nancy abram

Perfect Anniversary Getaway
This place was just as advertised and even better than expected! It was immaculately clean and equipped with everything we needed plus some. The vintage furniture and local decor is tastefully done and the bed is super comfortable. The host is available but we were never disturbed. We were very cozy with plenty of blankets, towels, kitchenware, etc., they even had chilled drinks and cupcakes for us with a note wishing us a happy anniversary. ☺️ It is a lovely part of town and we enjoyed exploring several of the many area attractions and restaurants recommended on a list in the entryway. We would love to stay again sometime!

Great little place for a downtown Charleston stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Urban Oasis in downtown Charleston. We arrived in threatening weather and the owner was responsive to our communication to get in a little early. The neighborhood is full of lovely old homes with lots of character. We walked to the Capitol, State Museum, GoMart Park for a Dirty Birds game and felt safe and comfortable. It was a quick drive to downtown restaurants and the Capitol Market. The home had everything we needed to make simple meals. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom nicely remodeled. We especially appreciated all the historical and tourist information in the house. There were nice little touches throughout and on street parking was easy. Highly recommend.
