Columbia Stay

The property was clean, well stocked and as advertised. It was close to everything downtown Columbia.The only reason for my less than perfect review was the checkin process. I paid 50 to submit a request to check in early. The day before my arrival i still had not heard so I called. The lady was very polite but said that they usually notify early checkins by noon the day of arrival. Since i was traveling from out of state and had very specific reasons for my request, this made firming up my plans difficult.I did get an email the morning of my arrival denying my request for early checkin. Since, i was already in route hoping for an early checkin, we decided to go directly to the house. We noticed that no one was at the house so i decided to call the office again. Again, a very nice lady but she checked and told me that i could check in early.So, overall everything worked out. The property was great, just poor communications around the early check in process.

Nice place

This is a great house for a family stay . The kitchen is sufficiently equipped, it is spacious and in descent shape.Being relatively close to downtown it comes with the convenience of being close to everything. Unfortunately this does have it drawbacks, like allot of cities there are some issues with homelessness , which is close to this location. Don’t get gas at night.we didn’t have any issues , but it could potentially be a problem. Really nice house overall.

Great Property

We just got home from our trip to Columbia, SC. We were in town for our daughter’s graduation from Basic Training. The house was in a great location, quick ride to the gate to get on base. It is also close to shopping and restaurants. The house was very clean and comfortable for our group of 7. The upstairs was a nice hangout spot for the young adults to hangout without disturbing the rest of the group at night.
