Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The most welcoming attribute was the communication of the host. Kevin even left us a fruit tray just in case we needed a snack after a long ride from Ohio. We had a few house questions which he answered immediately and was always courteous. I agree with the prior review that the house has character. The house was very clean and comfortable.The house is close to the freeway which is a plus. Thank you!Teresa Franklin

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This house was exactly what we needed! We are moving to Columbia and when our closing date was pushed back we were scrambling for a place to stay for a week! Thankfully Kevin's home was available. There was some confusion with the initial check-in dates and Kevin was super helpful and easy to communicate with. He helped us work out the issue quickly so that we were able to enjoy our stay. This home is adorable, with so much character, and is on a lovely, wooded property surrounded by trees. We saw deer every morning while we drank our coffee on the screened porch. It was nice to have everything accessible, but feel like we were away from the hectic city. It is close to the airport, and just a quick drive to restaurants, grocery stores, and downtown Columbia. It was the perfect landing spot to begin exploring our new town! Our daughter enjoyed cooling off in the pool and we all appreciated the comfy couches to curl up for some TV time at the end of the day. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed while we were there. We highly recommend this home whether you're in need of a short stay near the airport or a longer, more relaxing escape from the daily grind. Thank you Kevin for allowing us to make your home, our home for a little while!
