Great property! Very clean. I didn't realize it is a second floor rental and booked it for October 29-31 and am having foot surgery during this stay. Not sure I'll be able to manage it.

Cannot beat the location - so close to Cary St. with all the shops and eateries! Larger than we expected, comfortable and clean. Nicely appointed kitchen. Spacious bathroom. Bonus - super short walk to grocery and drug store. Great “home base” for a visit to Richmond.

Spring Break stop in Richmond

We decided to have a quick stop in Richmond on our Spring Break travels and found comfortable lodging in this historic and well preserved listing. The amenities were as described, though we didn’t partake in the laundry that was located in the e basement. We had a short block and a half walk to the main historic strip, several great eateries and sweet shops for dessert. The next day was spent exploring the nearby science museum, which was only a 7 minute drive.

Amazing place in the heart of Carytown. Wonderful crepe shop nearby, walkable to museums, close to breweries and VCU. Clean, easy to get into and out of and has some classic Richmond charm all its own.

We enjoyed our stay here. The home is very clean and we loved all the character and updates in the home. Communication with the host was always quick and prompt. The front porch was so nice to sit on and Cary St is one street over with lots of shops and restaurants. Overall, a great stay!
