This home was perfect for our needs! Adorable house, tasteful interior, and immaculately clean. Situated in a great neighborhood, and great communication with the host! Highly recommend this property!
Great house with all the amenities needed. Central location in town, easily travel to surrounding destinations via Uber or car. Check out was easy and quick
For our week long stay, this house proved to be outstanding. Fantastic location; very safe and walkable. House was clean. Beds and sofa were comfortable. Property manager was exceptionally responsive. Single story was a huge plus for us. Hope to stay there again in May.
Perfect home for our weekend to Richmond. Located close to everything and a great neighborhood for walking. Yard was perfect for a night on the deck. Would recommend to others
We came to watch our daughter run the Richmond Marathon. The location of this property was perfect as we were able to walk to the marathon route. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for seven of us to stay.
Having laundry on site amd two full baths was so helpful.
Communication with the host was prompt and seemless.
Would definitely recommend staying here.
Home was spotless but a bit dated. Amenities were more than adequate. Yard was nice but needed a lawn mowing. Great location. Very responsive hosts. Would stay again.
Totally enjoyed our stay. The comfort of the home was amazing. Our furry 4 legged child enjoyed the morning let outs and the walks around the neighborhood. Wish I had more time to explore as I was here for work related classes. Will definitely plan on coming back soon.
I rented this cute house for my niece and 3 children to visit me from Durham. It was close to my condo and easy to find. The house was spotless. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and enjoying the rare pleasant evening without much humidity.
Overall it’s a clean, quiet brick home on a tree lined street. We were there for a trip with old college friends where we biked all over the city and enjoyed the local restaurants and breweries. A great deal for such a nice place. The fire pit was a nice touch to sit down and enjoy coffee or an evening beverage. Nice bathrooms with all toiletries provided. Cozy kitchen had everything we needed.
10/10!!
Mei and Erik were great hosts. We had a very long day and it was capped off by a seamless check in process that ended with a complimentary bottle of wine from them. The house was clean, warm (was chilly out) and well kept. Our pets loved the fenced in yard and we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Thanks again for letting us stay in your home!
