We had a great time! The house is in a great location to see historical sites, but it’s also near museums, shopping, and great food. It was great to be able to kick off our shoes and relax each evening after a fun day of sightseeing.

Great base for marathon weekend

Stayed here for marathon weekend. Location worked very well as it was only about a mile from starting line and only about a 5 min drive to the restaurants and bars of The Fan neighborhood. The house was clean and comfortable with easy check-in/check-out. It is close to train tracks, and there was usually one loud train whistle each night. I would happily stay here again.

Perfect location to explore Downtown Richmond and nearby breweries!

The house is in excellent condition and in a perfectly central location to explore Richmond. After long days of exploring, it was very comfortable to come back and hang out in the living room or on the back deck. The beds were cozy, the plumbing worked well and everything was a clean as could be. Well done James!

Very nice property with parking and easy entry/exit. Rooms are comfortably furnished with good lighting and easy access to plugs. Nice baskets with all the towels you will need are waiting for you upon arrival. Comfortable beds. Bathrooms are nicely appointed. Lots of closet space, and little touches like luggage racks are so helpful. Chairs and couch in the family room are comfortable. TVs work well. We had a little problem with one tv upon arrival - it turned out to be a power block failure- and host went out of their way to send over a handyman and quickly addressed the issue. We didn’t cook while we were there but the kitchen is nice and the refrigerator works well. Excellent communication from host, with recommendations for the area as well. Reasonably priced for a lot of space.

Perfect location and great space!

Stayed here for our daughter's wedding. Four adults. Everyone had their room and bed. Big kitchen and eating area as well as room for gathering. The locations was close to everywhere we needed to be. Parking was great for loading and unloading car. Enjoyed the "Richmond" theme with suggestions for ice cream and coffee! Very calm. Would highly recommend and stay again if needed.

Has potential, but...

Overall, the stay was alright. The neighborhood wasn't unsafe, but it wasn't exactly clean and quiet. The house was good, and fit our needs for the week we were there. Except...The kitchen was disgusting when we arrived. There were standing pools of water between the dishes and bowls stacked in the cabinets. There was standing yellow water in the coffee carafe. Somehow, a pile of coffee grounds came out of the k-cup dispenser when we cleaned it. Blinds were broken -- one heavily -- and the pots were rusted through. We reached out about the pots, and thankfully the rental company was able to get us new pots delivered the next morning. I could forgive most of this, but many of the same issues we saw were mentioned in a review six months ago. With that in mind, I wouldn't be able to recommend this stay without more issues being addressed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry to hear about the condition of the kitchen upon your arrival—that’s far below our standards and certainly not the impression we want to leave. While we were glad to replace the pots quickly, we wish we’d had the opportunity to address the other concerns during your stay to help create a better experience. As for the blinds, unfortunately, with regular guest turnover, multiple sets are bound to wear down over time. While we had previously taken care of the issues mentioned in earlier reviews, we’ve now also replaced the blinds you noted. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue to improve, and we appreciate you giving us the chance to make things right where we could.

Property was rated as exceptional but that wasn't our experience

Positives: The owner is very responsive to emails. The location is close to restaurants and supermarkets by car. Plenty of space to stretch out in the dining room and living room. Kitchen is spacious and plenty of room in the fridge and counter space. What we didn't love: Lots of little fixes that could improve the experience, like knobs in the kitchen that needed simple fixes, and fixing the trash can lid; The pans in the kitchen were Teflon, very old and used, we didn't want to cook anything in them. There are two chairs in the living room but no side tables, so no where to put a drink. Master bedroom shades were broken in parts, looked cheap and unloved. Master bed was impossible to sleep on, I sunk down so far when I laid on it, it is very poor quality and ended up sleeping in another room. House smells like someone smoked in it years ago, and it seemed like there was some attempt to mask it, but I could still smell it. Master bathroom - there are 2 sinks, one which has terrible water pressure; the other has good water pressure, but you have to kneel on the toilet to use that sink. Cabinets in the master bathroom need to be painted, looked cheap and worn. Master shower head could be replaced which would improve the flow; water pressure in both bathrooms was weak. Neighborhood isn't attractive. Overall, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for. I think the home could be improved quite easily with a few easy upgrades.
