The kitchen also has a microwave oven, toaster oven, dishwasher, coffee maker & coffee grinder. The kitchen is furnished generously with cookware and dining ware.

Perfectly Located

Our rental was ideally situated for our visit to the Flower Show and photography exhibit held at the Fine Arts Museum, the incredible Lego exhibit at Virginia Museum of History and Culture and was easy walking distance to the many shops and restaurants in Cary Town. Comfortable beds, and a well-stocked kitchen made our stay special.

Wonderful host wonderful stay

The property is clean, comfortable, and close to fun places—VMFA, Carytown, great Fan restaurants including the beautiful delicious food at Memi’s. The host provides every thing you could possibly want: snacks, coffee, tea, juice, bread, condiments, treats, and even eggs during this time of extreme egg scarcity. Best of all is host’s immediate response to any question or request. Best bnb experience!

Lots of room for our family to relax and play games; a welcome basket of snacks, high quality coffee and even breakfast items. Truly a great experience!

Really well appointed stay with appreciated extras. (There was a big snack basket, coffee beans, and drinks in the fridge. Tons of TV channels.) It's a great location only a block or two off of the main Carytown drag. We never had issues finding parking on the block. Would definitely recommend!

This property was the perfect place for a spring visit to Richmond. A short walk to restaurants and shopping on Cary Street, an equally short walk to the museums, and a very finely stocked townhouse in a neighborhood of beautiful gardens. Couldn't have been better!

Great location, super easy stay

It felt like an old home with modern conveniences, after a week in there with the family, we've got no complaints. The kitchen was stocked to get us through until we figured out what we'd need at the grocery store, it was warm and cozy even on the midnights dreary (note: go visit the Poe Museum while you're in town!). The place was walking distance to many shops and restaurants, and it had multiple comfy places to sit and TVs for afterwards. Host was responsive and courteous.

My wife and I visited Richmond and found this place to be quite enjoyable. The location is excellent for walking to museums and restaurants. The place was clean and had many welcoming foods and snacks that helped make our stay enjoyable. There are plenty of games and cards on site. If that is your thing.

Perfect Museum District Location

This attractive upstairs apartment in a Richmond row house was a wonderful location for walking to VMFA and all the restaurants and shops in Carytown. (Fire & Hops and Lolita's were special favorites!) We were lucky with the January weather, so were even able to use the spacious deck in the back of the unit. The bed was VERY comfortable and the unit nicely equipped. Be aware that the stairs up are very steep but the railing felt solidly anchored and secure. One bizarre feature is that the microwave is on TOP of the refrigerator and requires a kitchen step ladder to access! Definitely not for anyone with balance issues! We would stay here again.

Cozy and comfortable!

I'm such a huge fan of this property. Entry was simple, and the stairs opened up into a wonderful space. Two comfortable bedrooms, a cozy dining nook, nice living room, well-furnished kitchen, and exceptional bathroom. Every detail had been thought through and made perfect, from fresh flowers to snacks on the counter and drinks in the fridge. It was clear that the property owner had invested a lot of time in the decor and other touches to make the space feel like a home. My trip was on a rainy December so I stayed inside most of the time. I can't think of a place I'd rather sit comfortably, sipping a cup of tea and looking out at grey skies. When I did get out, it was to find plenty of restaurants and shopping only two blocks away. Although I did not make it to the VMFA, it was only two blocks away in the other direction. Truly a perfect gem of a stay. Thank you!

Come for the Museums, stay for the Febreze

First off, the downstairs entranceway smells pretty gross. The rental unit, which is upstairs, overpowers it with tons of Febreze so eventually you will go nose blind. Beds were very comfy and the unit reasonably well appointed. Great snack basket! Thanks for that. Lighting is too dim throughout almost the entire space. Neighborhood is interesting. You are just 2 blocks to Cary Street, where there are tons of shops and restaurants. It is also very close to the outstanding local museums. Don't miss the VMFA!

Cute but needs updating

The location was great for going to the amazing Fine Arts Museum and walking to a lot of funky shops in Carytown. This is an upstairs unit of a very old row house…the property owner lives downstairs and was very responsive re toilet and heat issues. The bathroom and kitchen were fine…the heat was an issue because there is no thermostat for the unit and only the property Owner could control it….it was freezing during the second night. The carpeting is stained and some of the walls were in disrepair. While there were several nice touches…milk, eggs, juice, bread in frig, good coffee supply and machine and plenty of generous snacks, the place felt run down and overvalued when adding up all the charges. Beds and bedding were fine!
