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!

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!

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.

We were floored by the beauty of the exposed brick and flow of air and light. We were in town for a music festival but it happened to coincide with Oktoberfest at the church down the street. 2 blocks from bustling indie area and still walkable up to the training center/Iron Blossom venue. PS: check out Brunch Jr. in Scott's Addition for brunch.

Wonderful stay in beautiful Richmond locale!
I'd have loved to stay longer. Quaint upstairs unit with inviting back deck, comfortable (and gorgeous) beds, and plenty of room to spread out/get some privacy after a day of family togetherness. :) Check-in was easy. The neighborhood is quiet -- though two blocks from the heart of Carytown -- and so close to VMFA with its gorgeous grounds and fun people-watching. Street parking was likewise easy. As we were moving our son into his dorm, we had lots of stuff in two cars, but never had a problem finding a spot right out front, and I didn't worry about break-ins, either. The kitchen was fully stocked -- and more -- as Lynley provided so many delicious treats, including high quality necessities like coffee, milk, and eggs. The place felt clean and fresh throughout; she obviously puts a lot of effort and thought into ensuring happy guests. I'll definitely try to stay here again whenever we travel without our dog. My only cautionary note: the unit is upstairs, and the stairs are somewhat narrow, so it wouldn't be suitable for guests with mobility challenges (or perhaps for newly mobile toddlers, either, though there is a delightful children's playroom at the front of the house).

This location was perfect for our needs. It is within walking distance too the CMoR, SMR, VMFA, Melmont and so much more. Cary St was perfect for ice cream each night. If your traveling with smaller children we would recommend a wagon or bikes. The property was exactly as described. The only improvement that could be made is adding a stool. Everything is very high.
