Nice space for my wife and I to stay while visiting Richmond. Walked to Carytown, and the surrounding neighborhoods are great. The place was clean, had everything we needed and the hosts were responsive. Would stay again!
Nice property, and area. Very close to the museums, which we came to visit. Apartment had all we needed, especially for a short stay, and much better than an hotel room.
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
Cute, cozy & convenient. Just right for a 3-night stay to explore Richmond. Onsite parking was a great perk but even better was the walk ability to museum, great restaurants, etc. we will be back!
we had a fantastic stay for the first part of a long weekend. the space is located in an incredibly cute part of town and within walking distance to a few restaurants and a bakery!
The home was clean, well decorated, and in a nice neighborhood. The home had everything we needed. We only stayed for one night but would stay again during our next visit.
Our stay was short but great. We arrived late and left early but we found an excellent Italian restaurant around the corner for dinner and a cute coffee shop on our way to our appointment in the morning.
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.
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.
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.
The apt was well equipped and comfortable. The parking on the premises was a huge bonus! Mei our host was fabulous to communicate with she responded right away to my questions. The Fan is a charming
neighborhood.
