Extended Stay Gem in Columbia - Walk to Parks

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the years, and Emma and her Stay Bham team are hands down the best hosts you could ask for. They went above and beyond to make sure that our 47 night stay was everything we wanted it to be. The unit itself was very nice and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, everything was very clean, and the TV and appliances all seemed very new. Everything worked as it should. The park and dog park just down the hill that provided trail access to walk to the pier which we did almost daily. Check-in and check-out were also very easy. We would definitely recommend staying at this property."
