Was very pleased with our stay. Host was extremely responsive and made everything easy including info on restaurants and activities in the area. House was very clean and comfortable. Very pet friendly with fenced front and back yard. 4 stars because of safety feel of the neighborhood but had no issues.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing such kind feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the home, found everything clean and comfortable, and appreciated the fenced yards and pet‑friendly setup. It’s also wonderful to know our communication and local recommendations helped make your stay easy and enjoyable.
We did notice your mention of neighborhood safety and the 4‑star rating, and we appreciate you sharing that perspective. Since you also noted that you had no issues during your stay, we’re a bit unsure what specifically felt concerning, but we always welcome insight that can help us continue improving the guest experience.
Thank you again for choosing our place — we’d be happy to host you anytime.
Our host provided many thoughtful details to make our stay comfortable. My family felt welcome the moment we stepped over the threshold. We were greeted with snacks, plentiful towels, as well as games and amusements. Every effort was made to make the space inviting for a families.
This house was great! Everything was very clean and we only had limited clean up for ourselves during the check out process (which is always appreciated). There was ample space for everyone. Amenities were wonderful and we appreciated the availability of household staples and supplies. This was a great spot for our dogs - lots of room to move around and play outside.
Place was very nice. A little tight in shared spaces and bedrooms, but everything was modern, nice beds, good showers, quality towels and bedding. Coffee bar was fully stocked and left some snacks at arrival. Backyard was nice with horseshoes and air hockey in shed and swingset. Property managers were fantastic... sent long list of activities, restaurants, breweries, coffee shops in the area and were very communicative for check-in, etc. E.g., the ceiling fan remote was missing in one of the rooms and they sent a floor fan for us to use. Only slight downside was that the neighbourhood was a little sketchy (post-industrial area of Richmond, former working class area where the jobs have kinda left, but didn't feel unsafe).
