There is an additional dwelling, which is the main home, that is not a part of this listing. There may be a guest staying in the home during your stay. The backyard (accessed through the exterior door to the bedroom) is a part of the listing and is where you will park. The fenced in tiny-yard outside of the kitchen is reserved exclusively for your use to enjoy during your stay. This tiny home is located in West Columbia's New Brookland Historic District - an up-and-coming pocket neighborhood just over the river from downtown Columbia with single-family homes and duplexes dating from the early 1900s. Many of these homes have been owned for generations and some show signs of wear and their age. With older historically lower income neighborhoods like this, you will see visible deferred maintenance and sometimes yards and front porches with a collection of random objects, some may call it hoarding. This neighborhood is completely safe despite some of the decrepit homes and with the new $40 million dollar mixed-use development like Brookland and the ongoing State Street revitalization, this area is only getting better and better! My husband David and I used to live on this street and have always wanted to make our way back. The proximity to downtown Columbia and the hopping Vista area can't be beat. Plus, the house is within a few minutes walk to West Columbia's Riverwalk! 5 minutes walk to Cafe Strudel & our favorite Old Mill Antique Mall & Plant Store 6 minutes walk to West Columbia Riverfront Park & Amphitheater 6 minute walk to brand new Asian fusion restaurant Palate on State Street 6 minute walk to Black Rooster - a new restaurant with a rooftop bar overlooking the river and downtown Columbia 7 minute walk or 2 minute drive to Spa 131 8 minute walk to Terra - one of our favorite restaurants! 9 minute walk to Al's Upstairs Italian Restaurant with great views of the river and downtown Columbia 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive to Bi-Lo Grocery Store 12 minute walk or 3 minute drive to CVS Pharmacy 3 minutes drive to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts 4 minute drive to Publix Super Market 5 minutes drive to the heart of USC's campus 5 minutes drive to the Koger Center, Columbia's Metropolitan Convention Center and Colonial Life Arena 7 minutes drive to Riverbanks Zoo & Botanical Gardens 8 minutes drive to Williams Brice Stadium / USC Football 20 minutes drive to the Fort Jackson Visitors Center Uber and Lyft are the best options for getting around without your vehicle. Otherwise, there are options for groceries and dining within walking distance to the house. There is a separate rental, which is the main house. This reservation does not include access to the main home. The entries are completely separate as is parking. Parking for 1 vehicle is located off of Carpenter street behind the main house in a designated gravel area. The parking space is small and suitable for a sedan or compact SUV. If you have a larger vehicle this rental may not be suitable for you. This is a historic neighborhood with narrow streets so larger vehicles may have difficulty passing through. The maximum occupancy that is shown in the listing includes any and all visitors that will be at the home. Over-occupancy or unauthorized events will result in IMMEDIATE eviction without a refund. Any guest who refuses to vacate when instructed will be treated as a trespasser. No parties, events, or gatherings over the listed occupancy are allowed under any circumstances.

The place was conveniently located and served the purpose of my stay in West Columbia well. Wendy was friendly and responsive whenever I had questions. I do wish the place had been cleaner, and that the kitchen and bathroom hardware had been selected and installed with more care for a better overall experience.
