Other things to note
The upstairs and downstairs units each have separate entrances, which provides privacy but may be unfamiliar at first. Bathrooms are slightly smaller than modern homes, and some kitchen spaces are compact. Guests may want to bring eye masks for early morning or night lighting and earplugs for occasional train noise nearby.

While our properties are full of character and located in one of Richmond’s oldest districts, we understand that their historic layouts may not be suitable for everyone. Please note that our Airbnbs do not have elevators, and access to the units may require climbing multiple flights of stairs. If you have any questions or concerns about accessibility, please reach out—we’re happy to help you determine whether the space will be a good fit for your stay.
