The space was gorgeous, and Wendy was so responsive when we got locked out of our room! The area the house is in is nice and quiet. We loved our stay and will definitely consider it again in the future!
My 10 friends and I loved staying at this property! The motifs and decorations of each room were very cool and made us feel like we were back in time. We especially loved the lobby area where our group that was staying in four units was able to gather each night in a common space. If I return to Columbia in the future, I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!
