We enjoyed the location of this property. It was conveniently located near my son’s lacrosse tournament in Lexington and also close to downtown Columbia. I also loved sitting on the back porch! So peaceful
This was our second time staying here and we loved it as much as we did the first time. It is a lovely condo, close to many things in West Columbia, and not too far from all things USC. It is very comfortable, well-stocked, and suits us well.
Property was well maintained and super clean. Easy check in/out.Didn't really explore the area much as we were in for USC family weekend. Campus was only 10 mins away. Host was very communicative. Would stay here again.
Great, family accomodation as advertised.
We rented this place to accomodate for my sons graduation at Fort Jackson.
Close to Fort Jackson and limited traffic getting there.
Will definitely recommend this property.
The property was perfect!! My family stayed here because we were going to a graduation in Ft Jackson. The drive was super easy and only 25 minutes away from the base. The property location was also easy to visit other places and restaurants. My daughter had workouts to complete while we were here and there was plenty of room to get her runs in. We will definitely stay here again.
This apartment was very roomy and quite comfortable. Bob was very easy to get in contact with and friendly to talk to. The river walk nearby is a must because it was beautiful and shady. The trail was either cemented or had a board walk. I plan to rent this apartment in the future.
The condo was so cute and exactly as listed. The owner communicated well with us and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did!). We loved being so close to all of the things we wanted to do (the riverwalk, Soda City Market, exploring the USC campus, going to a USC football game). We would definitely stay here again!
We stayed at this rental for two nights to attend our son’s Fort Jackson BCt graduation and everything was amazing. It is very clean and organized. Great view. Plenty of parking. The host checked in frequently to ask if everything was ok and if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this rental .
We enjoyed our stay! The host was very prompt and thorough in his communications and the property was nice and quiet and had everything we needed. The selection of pots and pans to cook with was maybe a little slim, but it was made up for by having a few extras like ziploc bags, foil, etc. that came in handy. Overall it was a great stay, and we would definitely stay here again!
The condo was located within a quick driving distance to all local hotspots. Easy access and quiet neighborhood. Condo was clean and master bed was so comfortable I wanted to take the mattress home with me! Communication with owner was quick and easy.
The property is well maintained. Very clean and all the comforts of home! The host is extremely wonderful to work with! This is why i will never stay in a chain hotel again! Thank you for spoiling us!
Close to zoo and botanical gardens. Short drive to downtown Columbia, yet quiet and away from crowds. Comfortable rental with generously sized rooms and updated appliances. We appreciated that the owner/manager checked in with us via email several times to answer any questions we had (and responded promptly). Would definitely seek to re-book (if available) the next time we visit Columbia.
Great place clean and updated. There was a small issue with the beds and they immediately replaced/repaired them with new ones! Now that's great customer service! Host Robert was wonderful and very responsive. The place is well maintained and everything is in great working condition and very clean and cozy. We were in town for a conference and this was the perfect place to stay!
This was in a very quiet area in West Columbia. Nice clean area and the unit is perfect. Great communication with owner, my son and his girlfriend used pool which they said was nice - my mother in law said it was perfect and quiet. Well appointed kitchen we cooked once or twice, good appliances comfy furniture very good bathrooms and laundry was good to have as well. Parking was plentiful. Quick access to campus in less than 10 minutes to our son’s apartment on campus .
A short climb of stairs to the front door that opens to a beautifully decorated and very nicely remodeled two bedroom condo. It was always quiet (outside and upper tenants) with a long balcony overlooking a wooded yard. The main bathroom was nicely marbled with a double head shower, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well supplied as if you were at home. Close to downtown Columbia, a fantastic zoo, children’s museum, and multiple breweries and restaurants. Truly enjoyable!!
This 2 bedroom condo was a very comfortable space for me and a colleague. We were in Columbia to run a summer program for teens and we appreciated the space to spread out and work. The bedrooms and 2 baths gave us each our own space. Minimal supplies were provided so we had to "borrow" TP, cleaning supplies, and trash bags from a colleague.
We came to visit our son for a long weekend who attends UofSC. The condo was exactly as described and immensely clean and clean smelling as you walked in the door. Communication with host was excellent. We did not use pool since it was February. Complex was very quiet and a short 10 minute drive from campus. TV Wi-Fi etc all worked perfectly. Would definitely stay here again.
