About the host
Hosted by Vanessa Traylor

We are a husband and wife real estate team in Columbia, SC! We started The Traylor Team: Homes & Hospitality when we started offering Airbnb property management in 2022. We love being able to show our guests true southern hospitality by having them stay in our properties! We both are from Columbia born and raised and are raising 3 kids here! We love what we do!
Why they chose this property
This might be one of our favorite offerings, because you cannot get a more perfect property that embodies all of what Columbia, SC offers quite like this one! You'll be staying in the heart of downtown in a Historic home that's on the National Register for Historic Homes. It boasts double front porches to enjoy the sunshine and breezes as you listen to the palm tree sway! Inside you have stunning character and 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms with space to sit and entertain. Walk the treelined streets just 2 blocks to a beautiful park to let the kids play and in summer months there is even a little splash pad area that's free! It truly is the best property to stay in in our city and we hope you enjoy it!
What makes this property unique
There are two king bedrooms, a main floor king and an upstairs master King. There's a large comfortable living room that's beautifully decorated, a formal dining room with quality furniture, and a kitchen with island, gas cook top, stainless steel oven, dishwasher, cute coffee bar with two types of coffee pots (a Keurig and drip pot), and whatever else you may need! Enjoy the patio deck area with seating and string lights!
