Fantastic stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this really cool remodeled church. The location is super convenient. The apartment has everything you need including comfortable beds and a well appointed kitchen. This is definitely one of the most modern and updated properties I’ve stayed in Columbia. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Place

My family and I went for my sons BT Graduation at Fort Jackson. It was very close, only 15-20 minutes away. The place was just as pictured on the website. It was very lovely and cozy, but also very clean. The host was always super quick to respond to my messages. I would definitely recommend staying there.

The Alchemist

My family has a lovely stay in the Alchemist unit. We stayed for my daughter’s graduation from boot camp. It was close to base. The place was exactly as described, well furnished, comfortable beds, and very clean! I would highly recommend booking this place to other guests.

The rental itself was gorgeous. I loved the decor of the place especially the cleaning less. The check in process was easy. We did arrive a few minutes early (20 minutes) and waited for 4pm to gain access (not their fault). The location was closed to many restaurants and shopping stores. This was very convenient especially with young kids. The time to get to Ft. Jackson Army base was less than 10 minutes. The rooms and space of the location made it very comfortable for all of us. We didn't feel we were crowded into a small place. The 3 bathrooms was a huge hit as we didn't feel like we had to wait in line. My family and I were very pleased with the stay. The neighbor was really quiet at all times and never experience any problems with our stay. The management office kept us informed of all requirements and were always available if we had any question. WE DEFINATELY recommend this place for large families looking to stay in the Columbia SC location. R,AngelU.S. NAVY RET.
