The property met our needs, sleeping only didn't use the yard or kitchen. It was close proximity to the university and in a safe neighborhood.

Incredible Columbia SC stay
We had the most incredible stay at this adorable little Columbia home with tons of character. Every single detail Is well thought out --- we were greeted to a gorgeouslu renovated home with a basket of snacks and drinks. Bathrooms have little make up wipes, floss and qtip. The coffee bar was filled with Starbucks coffee, flavored creamers and all diff sugar options! Wish I stayed for an entire week! A + and highly recommend!
