Still a nice place!!!

This was my second stay at the riverfront and its still a nice out of the way place. Clean and simple, the pool table on the back patio is great for friends to pass some time. I just hope the update the TVs to smart TVs so I could use my firestick or log into my NETFLIX, but that was not a big issue for me.

Stay Columbia

The home was very clean and probably one of the best stocked homes we have stayed in. There was plenty of soap, shampoo and paper goods available. The patio and pool table were a plus as well. The home is very close to the canal park and is a lovely place for a long walk. Yves was an excellent host and if we are back in the area will try to come back to this home.

Perfect for a family!!!

Clean property and lots of kitchen utensils and extra pillows and towels and wash cloths. In other properties I have stayed at there are always Limited towels and I worry about having enough, but there were just tons! I really appreciated that! Bonus is having a washer and dryer! It was wonderful having a total of three bedrooms and two bathrooms for such a reasonable price. That plus having three full size couches meant that our family of five was not piled up on top of each other when we were there LOL. I would definitely recommend this property. Short drive to the zoo and State Museum. No negatives here! Communicative property owner.

We enjoyed everything about this house so much! The art on the interior walls, the quiet neighborhood it was in, the game room with pool table & Direct TV. The beds were comfy too! Everything we needed was there & then some. It made my son's wedding weekend much less stressful. Thank u again for renting us your lovely home away from home!

Nice place to stay. A lot of what you need was available. Nice for a large group (6-10) esp. adults. Lots of tvs, but Direct tv blah! Close to our destination. Host very responsive. Slow drain front bath...lawn needed to be cut. But Nice would stay there again!
