Great house
I was in Columbia for a family issue. The house was in a great location for where I needed to beThe owner was so nice and easy to work with. I had a few minor issues that were quickly resolved. Please keep in mind this is an older house , so outlets are few. I had my grandchildren who have several “ electrons “ who needed to be changed. Overall I would stay at this house again

USC Tour
Pictures don’t do it justice. Very cute and clean. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels etc. Plenty of living space as well. Communication with host was excellent. Maggie is very responsive and friendly. Close enough to campus and Five Points. Not walkable but a very short car ride. I would stay here again.
Great home for our visit to UofSC Family Weekend. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Comfy couch and beds. Had everything we needed for the weekend. Would stay here again.

Cute little house with easy access to Columbia
We used to live in forest acres so this little house reminded us of our earlier lives. Pretty much were there just to sleep, but had everything we needed.

USC trip
This little three bedroom was ideal for our trip to Columbia. It was so peaceful and the two queen beds were very comfortable. The only thing it could use is new wash cloths and towels. There is also a great bagel shop right up the street.

Girls Trip
We only stayed one night. Check in was seamless. Place was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Easily accessible to concert venue and restaurants. We appreciated the Welcome Gift Basket! Would definitely return!
It was so nice to have a home to use for going to my son's army graduation. To be able to bring him back with us for the day and cook him a meal, play games, and spend time as a family was such a blessing. The house was perfect! We had everything we needed and it is so close to walmart for grocery pick up. We are so thankful that people are willing to share their homes for just these special occasions. A hotel would not have afforded the same homey feeling and would've been far less private. Thank you so much Jim & Mary!!!
The host was excellent about communicating. I did not look to see about a hair dryer or iron before we arrived and found us out at Walmart buying both before our daughters graduation Saturday morning. Other than my not asking a head of time the place was a good choice for our family.

Perfect for a girls' weekend
This was the perfect house and location for our girls' Reba weekend. The only thing any of us said we would like to have added was a chair in the living room so all 4 of us would have had a seat. We wish we could have stayed longer! We had everything we needed.
