Modern 4 BR Apt - Mins to USC, ZOO & Ft Jackson

When we arrived, the property was not clean. There were clumps of hair on the master bathroom floor, as well as used fake eye lashes. The glasses in the cupboard were smudged and with finger prints. In the master bathroom, and the shared guest bathroom, there were live little flies circling while showering, which I had to kill while showering. As I was doing this, I noticed additional dead bugs from someone prior to me having the same problem. After reading prior reviews, those appearing after my booking, I realized some of these issues the property owner has known about, and has yet to do anything to fix them. In addition, walking on the floors felt unsafe. There were many areas of the floor that the subfloor felt weak, and worried us it would give out. Also, the furniture in the living room was fairly uncomfortable and broken down. The bones of the property were great, but the current state of the property is not worth the money being asked for. Finally, due to these conditions, we chose not to stay at the property the second night. I inquired with the property owner about getting a refund for the night, and was told they’d get back to me. It’s now been 3 days, and I have not heard back, nor do I expect to at this point. To me, it’s bad business to keep someone’s money when the product being offered doesn’t match what you expect, especially due to bugs and cleanliness. It forced my party to spend money elsewhere.

This property was exactly as pictured, it was clean, the host was very graceful. She kept communication with us. It's in a very close to downtown, everything was closed by. I highly recommend this property.

The place was in a not so good area, and I felt unsafe. Especially after someone tried to sell me drugs. Floors was soft in spots and I felt I may fall through the floor. Broken furniture in one bedroom. Floor not level between living room and kitchen. Did not stay. Left and went to the Hilton. Informed host and VRBO. Host keeps asking me if I enjoyed my stay. I assume that they do not actually care to read what I have said.

Cute place, but not clean. Mouse droppings on the window sill in the shared bathroom. The shower does not drain and was full of hair, also in the shared bathroom. The sheets on the trundle bed were dirty. There was trash under that bed as well. Looked like smashed bugs on the ceiling of the master bedroom. And not sure if South Carolina has stink bugs, but there is a wall in the kitchen that looked like stink bug poop. The trash cans outside were overflowing and there was dog poop in the parking lot.Not the hosts fault, but the parking lot was closed all day 1 day and they were getting ready to close when we left due to fixing a sewer pipe and nobody made us aware of this. This did appear to be scheduled.This place is old but has a lot of potential. Maybe find new cleaning service and fix things up a bit.

Hostess checked in regularly,it was a brief trip and worth it

This was exactly what we needed for a College Football family weekend in Columbia. Reminds me of a college apartment set up. Clean and comfortable, everything wee needed. Owners directions were spot on and great communication.

Location was great for commuting to and from Fort Jackson (about 20 minutes one way). We were in town for our son’s graduation. The host was so incredibly helpful and responded very quickly. The place is in an old house so it has all the old feels (uneven floors, no vents in bathrooms). We also had some bugs join us (big roaches and flies in the shared bathroom). Furniture was not very comfortable. The dining set was uncomfortable, the couch left a lot to be desired. Arm rest had no cushion left so it was hollow and hard. But it served its purpose for our stay and fit my family of 8 easily. We were able to bring our soldier over graduation day and cook him a nice home cooked meal. Oh yea, the kitchen can use a blender!

The property, although clean, is quite old. Many of the doors stick and are hard to open, the floor is wavy and there isn’t a lot of updated anything. The water pressure bathrooms is subpar. It’s nice that it has four bedrooms, but the bathrooms are set up kind of strange. Two rooms to share one bathroom and the room with a twin has his own bathroom. Probably an OK value for the price, but we would not stay here again.

The house was generally clean with a comfortable master bed, plenty of towels, and basic toiletries. The location was decent, though not walkable, with ample off-street parking.However, the kitchen was poorly stocked for 8 people—only a few plates, 4 forks, and bowls, and outdated pots and pans. We ended up buying extra supplies, including a pot to cook with since one of the 2 here was rusty. There were also no kid friendly cups, so we used Solo cups. The cooking utensils were in poor condition.The Wi-Fi and cell service were terrible, making remote work impossible. The house seemed cheaply renovated, with uneven floors and a wobbly kitchen table. Showers pooled water, and hot water took a long time to heat up.There were temperature control issues, and noisy neighbors (barking dog, church bell) and cars on the gravel driveway kept us up.It’s fine for a short stay, but if you plan to cook, bring extra supplies. The lack of decent kitchen tools and poor internet made it less ideal for us.

We enjoyed our stay during our son's graduation. Comfy beds, large kitchen, and good parking in back.We would stay again and recommend it.

The area was quiet with adequate parking space, not a lots of room for outdoor activities however we did make the best of what we had. The dwelling was fairly comfortable with the exceptions of low hot water pressure in the bathrooms and beds that could have used new mattresses. Overall we made it work.
