As with all VRBOs, they take their fair share of abuse. Despite that, you could tell this property is lovingly maintained. We loved every minute of our stay. We had a wonderful time exploring Columbia, too. The river front walk, the pipe lounge, the Buck and Board, Hunt's thrift shop, all wonderful.
A couple things to be aware of that are common in VRBOs. The buttons on the Hot Tub are cracked/broken, some of the jets/waterfalls don't work and the bluetooth speaker is broken (jumbled sound), but the chemical levels were spot on, it was very clean, and it was hot and bubbly : ) . Most of the non-stick pans are very scratched. WIndows are painted shut. The batteries for the XBOX are all dead (or the controller is broken). The Pool table has a crack in the middle so one side is very tilted (someone put cardboard under one side, so one side is level). The dishwasher is hard to reach and has broken buttons. All minor things that definitely don't take away from how nice the property is and how quaint the neighborhood/town are. It is a wonderful property.
We did need to contact Mercedes for a minor issue. She was responsive and very helpful. We would totally rent this location again!
