We stayed for one night and appreciated how clean the house was and felt safe and comfortable staying as a family. It’s decorated nicely, check-in was straightforward, and there were thoughtful touches. We also appreciated how close it was to downtown while still feeling tucked away in a safe, quiet neighborhood.

I was a little sketched out by the neighborhood but it actually was very quiet so it was fine. No worries at all! It was clean . My only complaint was my bed was like broken in the middle or something so it sank in towards the center. But other than that everything was great! The owner responded to me very quickly . Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. There was also a basket with waters wine and things we made need on the table that I thought was a sweet neat little basket of goodies. I’m overall the experience was wonderful!

USC softball weekend

We attended our daughters senior softball night at USC. Jim and Mary's place was just the place we needed to enjoy some family time. It was a very cute and cozy home. The beds slept amazing and the entire home was super clean. The guest basket of goodies was a plus. Maggie, the host, was always very quick to answer any questions I might have had. We love this house was located in Forrest Acres which is a very nice area. The neighborhood was very quiet. Great stay!!

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.

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.
