This property was nothing like the pics. It was a little small, the property is actually a mobile home and not an house. There was roaches and no yard. The property management stopped responding to me once I sent the pics of the roaches.

Good location but old manufacturer home that overpriced
My family and I came for a U of SC family weekend. The location was great because it was a 10 minute drive from the university. The neighborhood was quiet. And, the property manager was responsive with our questions. However, the home is old and is in desperate needs of upgrades and maintenance. Here are the issues: 1. Lawn maintenance is needed Leaves from last fall were in the entire driveway and front entrance of door and porch. Insects located at the front door entrance. 2. There is an old and stale and musky smell Throughout the home 3.carpet needs replacement because it was stained and dingy. 4. Holes were present in walls. 5. Freezer was not clean. The refrigerator had a smell 6. Mechanical vents were rusted and old, 7. Sheetrock repairs were badly done. 8. Doors and cabinets and toilet were aged. 9. Spider webs were present on ceiling and exterior door. 10. Hot water was not working in master bathroom sink and guest bathroom. 11. All doors need to be replaced. 12. Tv remote was not working in living room 13. Cabinets need to replace 14. Throw pillows were dingy and dirty. 15. Couch was dirty and damaged. 16. All repair work was noticeable and the repair work was done in a poor fashion. 17. The light in bathroom was flickering.
Overall, this place met the need to get a few hours of sleep. It was overpriced for what we got.
Some positives are The WiFi worked. The linen was clean. The hvac system worked.
