great house for our family to visit our daughter at USC. The beds were super comfy and showers were great. Gustavo was very responsive when we had a bit of trouble opening the door.

The property met our needs, sleeping only didn't use the yard or kitchen. It was close proximity to the university and in a safe neighborhood.

Incredible Columbia SC stay

We had the most incredible stay at this adorable little Columbia home with tons of character. Every single detail Is well thought out --- we were greeted to a gorgeouslu renovated home with a basket of snacks and drinks. Bathrooms have little make up wipes, floss and qtip. The coffee bar was filled with Starbucks coffee, flavored creamers and all diff sugar options! Wish I stayed for an entire week! A + and highly recommend!

PROS: Wonderful location about a 5 min walk to one beach an a 10 min walk to another. the outside space was great. Lots of beach chairs, boogie boards and umbrellas for the beach which was useful. CONS: Couldn't lock the house on the back porch which was concerning. House with lots of decorations! And a bit darkWe had 10 people and it was tight for all of us. 6 adults and 4 kids. Overall we had a wonderful time and the hosts were very responsive when we had questions.

Everything was perfect except for the television in the living room. Internet was spotty. Couldn’t watch a complete program.
