Great place

Our stay was really good. Location is okay, not a ton in walking distance and the yard was shared with neighbor so not as good for dogs as I thought. The place was very nice and had everything we needed. More towels in bath would have been nice. You have neighbors above you, they were quiet but the dogs would bark thinking someone was in the house. Without dogs highly recommend!

As Described

Just back from a stay at this property and it was just as described. I would stay there again without hesitation. I would recommend a good cleaning in the living room - dry cleaning the couch as well as rug, which is why I rated cleanliness with 3 stars. I had a little trouble with the check in, but the owner was available as needed. Not sure if this is VRBO or the owner, but I would urge a check out time of no later than noon. If it had been, I would not have to have left dishes in the sink!

A-MA-ZING Stay!

This is the best VRBO I've ever booked. The duplex was immaculate. The beds were super comfy. The two bathrooms and two bedrooms were super clean. Having two bathrooms was essential as my teenage son traveled with us. The couch was also amazingly comfy. The TV was great. The location was wonderful because we could walk to shops and to the river. This is a part of Richmond that used to be a little dangerous, so it's wonderful to see the revitalization taking place. From the little kids at preschool holding hands to the young couples of many races gardening and shopping and just chilling on the porch, it was fantastic. We super enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back. Oh, and the owners of the VRBO responded to messages immediately. It was also easy to get inside and the door locks on its own after 90 seconds. We used the back yard a lot. Some friends of ours brought their poodles over (I hope we weren't too obnoxiously loud with the dogs carrying on), but they only stayed for two hours. It was by far a great trip. We will be back.

I really enjoyed this property in Richmond. The check in was super easy and the fenced backyard was a dream for my two dogs. I brought my elderly mom who had no trouble getting into the property since there wasn't more than two steps at both the front and back entrances. The entire property was spotless, no bugs or dirt anywhere! Decorated beautifully, with a bathroom for each bedroom. The best part was the convenient offstreet parking in the back of the property. I'm not sure about everyone else, but if I have to parallel park on a crowded street it puts everyone and their vehicles in peril lol. Super convenient location to get downtown as well. Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Richmond. You won't be sorry if you stay here!

Richmond VRBO

Overall, the unit was very clean and a convenient short walk to the trail system which we were looking for. The neighborhood around was a little scary to walk through, recommended walking with someone. A box fan or oscillating fan would have been nice to have, to help drowned out the street noise, birds and people upstairs, especially for the guest room that is at the front of the house. Also, the coffeemaker is a very nice expensive one, but is useless if it doesn’t function properly and your left cleaning up the mess from the brew basket overflowing, replace it or leave instructions on how to use it (was told it had happened before, when I mentioned what had happened ). Lastly, the towel rack and toilet paper holder are not secured well to the wall, was unusable and same was about to happen with the toilet paper holder..…

Hospital Visit

Needed a place close to VCU for a series of medical appointments and this place was really close and super nice. Truly the gem that they advertise it as. The fenced in yard is nice to have and we were convenient to everything we wanted to do. The idea was to be able to leave the car parked there and Uber to the doctor each day and all the attractions nearby and the plan worked beautifully.

The perfect, pet-friendly stay to visit Richmond!

We needed a place between NYC and Durham, NC to meet up with some family for a quick visit. This condo is very cozy, simply decorated, very comfortable and extremely clean. Very well appointed kitchen and 2 full bathrooms! Beds were very comfortable. The yard is a shared yard with 2 other units but very large. Our pup enjoyed exploring (with supervision). The chairs in the sitting area and the couch were very comfortable for our chats and TV watching. Street parking available right in front of the unit, which was very convenient. Easy smart lock to get in/out of the unit. The best part, the check out procedure is just to walk away!!! They take care of ALL of the cleaning!! The owners are very responsive via the chat function in the app. I highly recommend!!

Great value for price, beautiful decor and wonderful location

My exact words to the owner: Hello! We had a fantastic stay! We absolutely loved the location and thought the place was very well decorated. I appreciate that the owners didn't just go for the cheapest of everything. I noticed this in everything from the rug to the coffee maker. Investing in quality pieces, not just the cheapest thing that looks ok goes a long way and communicates a genuine care for guests. We liked the aesthetic, as well. The place was absolutely perfect for our purposes and we had a fantastic time!

First visit to Richmond

The place was really cute and comfortable enough. I’m not sure if the details had mentioned pets were allowed or not but I will make sure to look for that next time. We enjoyed our time there but the only thing was all the furniture and carpet rugs were covered with pet hair. There was hardly any place I could sit without getting pet hair all over my clothes. Other than that, everything was perfect.
