The house was cozy and in a nice, safe neighborhood. The drive to Ft. Jackson for the graduation were attending was easy. The house had everything we needed for 4 adults and a toddler. The price was also good for comparable rentals around. Would definately book again if I ever return to Colombia!

Roomy house in a nice neighborhood. It was clean and there are 2 bedrooms. There’s also a single bed and fold out couch in the sunroom off the kitchen. There’s no door to the sun room so there wouldn’t be much privacy if someone was using as a bedroom but it’d be an option for a bigger family. The smaller bedroom had an adjustable bed, which was great for my teenage son to relax in as we were in Columbia for a swim meet. There’s a separate dining room, living room, and 1.5 baths. The main bath is shower only and looks to be handicapped equipped but the door may be too small to fit a wheelchair. It was an 8-10 minute drive to get to downtown, depending on traffic. Grocery stores nearby. Dukes Pad Thai food was within walking distance and had excellent food.
