Found the property with a less than desired situation. The property manager was quick to respond and came to the property to address within a couple of hours. It did have parking in the rear but it did not seem as secure as I had hoped. My stay ended up being fine, residence was clean and offered everything I needed including a nice basket of snacks.

I would definitely recommend staying in this home. It was what we needed as a family. We did not prepare meals there but the kitchen is nicely stocked with the needed essentials. There is also a Keurig with pods and creamer waiting for you in addition to a standard coffee pot depending on your needs. A washer and dryer in the home was great perk for a quick load of laundry. The house was clean, welcoming, and quiet. Only thing “missing” were trash bags for the kitchen trashcan and a quick message to the owner resolved that! She left us bags on the door to the home so not to come in since we already checked in. I will definitely return to this home if I need a place to stay in Richmond! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful accoutrements with special fall holiday theme. Butterfly decorations were also everywhere. All seating and bedding was comfortable. Coffee and snacks were an added bonus. The property was better than I imagined. Pictures of backyard that were on vrbo when I booked, do not do justice. It is a beautiful home.

We had an excellent experience. Lynley, the property manager, was incredible. She responds immediately and takes care of the property very well. There were a few things that needed attention but very minor. It was not an upscale place, but very affordable and in a neighborhood with lots of families close together. It was the perfect location to lots of things to see and do in Richmond.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was cute, clean, and convenient to the interstate. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. It could use a new set of cookware, but we were able to cook 2 basic pasta meals with the pots and pans that were there. We loved being able to park our car securely behind the back gate. We also loved that our pup had a yard to roam without having to be leashed. We would definitely stay here again.
