We loved the place, location was wonderful. The place was very clean. We have stayed in many places but never a place that had flower arrangements, some great snacks. Coffee, milk, eggs, orange juice and many other little details. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much for all the little details.

No hassle and all fun

The property was great. We had a very late check in but it was so easy to get in and relax once there. There was an abundance of snacks, tea, coffee and other beverages. We felt welcome and at home. The location was excellent. We were able to walk most places or arrange for an affordable Uber. I highly recommend!

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!

Pied a Terre in Richmond

We were so grateful to find this gem in Richmond. We were there during a very stormy weekend and were so grateful to the hosts for the eggs, milk and bread and other treats, because we couldn’t face going out during the storm averted a long day of house hunting! Very comfortable beds and nice hot shower. Sitting room very comfy.

The place is stellar — everything you’d need, very comfortable, and the hosts are extremely responsive and thoughtful. It’s easy to find parking nearby (or even right out front) and it’s a short walk to Museums and the main drag of Carytown,

An RVA Adventure for our Grandson's 13th Birthday

What a great base location for all of the activities we planned.Loved that we could walk to Cary Street and the VMFA & VMH&C. Easy to find on street parking in front of VRBO.We went to The Civil War Museum, the Van Gogh Immersion, the Ginter Festival of Lifjts and the Science Museum. RVA has so much to offer and this apartment was perfect for us.

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!
