Best customer service

I was all by myself and was not good at planning, but they were so helpful!! They let me check in early and extend my stay multiple time. Comfy bed, nice kitchen and living room. They also had a little gift basket with snacks and wine. I felt right at home, and would definitely stay again. If you’re in town don’t hesitate to stay for awhile!!

Cozy, But Off the Beaten Path

We had a successful weekend stay at this comfortable unit. It was perfectly well-equipped and clean. Communication with the owner was easy, with consistently quick responses. We did not try to cook in the unit, but certainly had all the necessary appliances, etc. had we tried to do so. Overall, we were pleased with the property. The only caveat I would add has to do with the unit's location. It is several blocks off any main road and too far from downtown, the University of South Carolina campus and other centers of activity for a comfortable or interesting walk. If you don't have a way of getting around Columbia other than walking, I would not recommend this unit.

Easy check in, great communication & adorable place

Rented for 10 days for rush recruitment. This one bedroom is adorable, clean and has a great kitchen. Everything was as described. The location is good. The area is going through some change. I wouldn’t recommend girls walking alone. In pairs would be fine. Easy parking too! Thanks for a great stay.
