Clean, good location, well stocked, convenient parking. Good place for a weekend stay. Was a little noisy due to the upstairs tenants and it being an older building but other than that it was lovely

Southern comfort in historical district

Our room was comfortable and cool on a warm day. The kitchenette was perfect for making small meals. The large front porch was a great place to relax with a good book I appreciated the off street parking lot. Very well kept property.

My first VRBO. Much better than a hotel room for less money. Owner communicated clearly about expectations and how to check in/out. We walked to many of the attractions and restaurants/shopping, saved a bunch of driving. Overall delightful.

Visit VMFA and the Museum District

We visited Richmond to view the Faberge exhibit at VMFA on a trip. This location was a 15 minute walk away, accepted our dog, had parking and was perfect for our stay. Very nice hosts. Clean, pleasant and pretty well equipped. We’d stay again.
