We had an excellent stay! The place was new, very clean, beautifully decorated, and close to downtown Columbia! The amenities provided were great and we loved that each room had a bathroom. The checkin process was easy and we appreciated the host’s quick responses to our questions.
My two sisters and I had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo property. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, and very accommodating. We especially appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom, which made our stay much more comfortable and convenient.The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were spacious with plenty of storage for our belongings. The location was also ideal and conveniently situated near our primary destination.The only minor drawback was the outside noise. Since the property is located in a popular, lively area, there was a steady amount of activity and noise throughout the day and night. That said, it wasn't enough to take away from our overall experience. I'll simply bring earplugs next time—and there definitely will be a next time. We would gladly stay here again!
