Quiet and secluded
Quiet, secluded and spacious property. Could use a bit more cleanliness of white seating area, and upstairs shower but not a show stopper from overall enjoyment. Very responsive property managers.

The house was convenient for the occasion
My family and I were in town for the USC graduation. Convenience was the best thing about my stay. The neighborhood is not the best. The house is located down the street from a rough looking area. The layout of the home was nice except of the fact that one of the rooms was made into a bedroom right in the entrance. You enter the front door walking through a bedroom to enter the rest of the house taking away the privacy of the guest in that area. It is time for the exterminator to come out. The back dock was a nice area but looking at the pond was not the best view. The home next to the pond has a lot of backyard items appearing very messy.

Home away from home
Due to renovations at my own home, I had to find a place that would accommodate my family. This place is very roomy and has many beds for multiple people. The only "bad" I could say about the property was that some tiles needed to be replaced and the listing says downtown when in actuality, it is not! Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much!

Love my soldier.
We were in Columbia to attend the graduation of my grandson. The house was a safe and comfortable place to sleep and store our things.
