    Beautiful accoutrements with special fall holiday theme. Butterfly decorations were also everywhere. All seating and bedding was comfortable. Coffee and snacks were an added bonus. The property was better than I imagined. Pictures of backyard that were on vrbo when I booked, do not do justice. It is a beautiful home.

    We had an excellent experience. Lynley, the property manager, was incredible. She responds immediately and takes care of the property very well. There were a few things that needed attention but very minor. It was not an upscale place, but very affordable and in a neighborhood with lots of families close together. It was the perfect location to lots of things to see and do in Richmond.

    We enjoyed our stay. The house was cute, clean, and convenient to the interstate. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. It could use a new set of cookware, but we were able to cook 2 basic pasta meals with the pots and pans that were there. We loved being able to park our car securely behind the back gate. We also loved that our pup had a yard to roam without having to be leashed. We would definitely stay here again.

    Our stay was fine overall, but there were quite a few issues that made it less enjoyable than we hoped.The air conditioner made a loud *boom* sound every time it turned on and off, which was especially disruptive at night.When we arrived, the bottle of Dawn dish soap at the kitchen sink was completely empty. I let the owner know, and their only response was, *“Let me know if you’d like me to bring some.”* I felt a more proactive approach would have been appropriate.There was also a leak from the fridge when using the water dispenser — bad enough that we had to soak up the water with several small towels any time we used it. The owner said they’d get someone to fix it *after* we left, which didn’t help us during our stay.The back gate didn’t function well either. The temporary fix was a bungee cord, which was awkward to use. The back sliding door with a curtain that didn’t slide easily was difficult to use.As for the location — it was fine, but a bit worn and rough around the edges. There are definitely more charming areas to stay and I’d search a little harder for something nicer.Overall, the visit was okay, but between the disruptive noise, maintenance issues, and a generally “just okay” atmosphere, we probably wouldn’t return.

    We were in Richmond for my son's wedding at The Valentine. The home's location was perfect for everything we did. The home is very inviting and very comfortable. It was just as described in the listing. The beds are all extremely comfortable, the shower had great water pressure, and we had plenty of room. It was very quiet at night, which was great.We did not bring our Lab with us, but he would have loved the backyard!Whenever we travel back to Richmond, we will definitely plan to stay here again!

    The property was as advertised. Located in a very quiet neighborhood with a small backyard. Parking was available on street and there was a space available in the back. We were informed of an issue with the garbage disposal before we arrived which did not detract from our ability to enjoy the space. We were visiting our daughter that lives in the area and would stay here agian when we return.

    The townhouse is located in a very run down section of the area. It is close to VCU and very walkable to the restaurants in the area. The house is very worn out, a number of repairs needed, and was not well cleaned for us. The backyard is usable for dogs to go out which was helpful, but the back gate does not shut securely. Our SUV did not fit in the parking spot provided but there was ample street parking. Overall it was overpriced for what you get.

    Great amount of rooms and having the one and a half bath was wonderful. House was beautifully, decorated, and kitchen was well appointed with everything you could need. Having the offstreet parking gave us peace of mind.. Location was great, we were able to get in to see all the tourist attractions very easily, and RVA tuk-tuk could pick us up right at our doorstep.

    We stayed here to attend a music festival. The property was clean with lots of nice touches. There were snacks and all convenience appliances, which were clean and in good working order. The yard was fenced which was great for pets who were in unfamiliar surroundings. The beds were super comfortable and the linens clean. Great wi-fi and so nice to have a TV in all bedrooms for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was super clean, which is important to me when preparing food. Nice front and back porches to hang out on. Good area to take early morning walks in; close enough to restaurants if we preferred to walk instead of drive. Adequate parking for our entire group. We'd stay again!

    Cute little spot in downtown Richmond! Pros- It is close to everything downtown- Maymont Park, museums, restaurants, shopping, etc. The place was super clean, and beds were comfortable. We also liked that it was pet-friendly. Our kids loved the snacks provided by the owner :) I got a little nervous when I hadn't received our check in information with only 5 hours to go before check-in. But, when I sent the owner a message, she responded immediately. It would be nice to have an email sent saying we wouldn't receive our check in code until a few hours before check in. Only con- The last night of our stay the neighbors had a DJ on their deck until 1am. It was extremely loud, and kept us all awake. This was no fault to the owner, but just a heads up to future guests.

    The furnishings and decorating were nice and modern. The bedding was pretty with lots of nice pillows. There were soap/shampoo dispensers in the shower which was thoughtful and the snack basket was a fun touch. The small office in the master closet was a good idea. Some tlc on paint, flooring, and outlets (several weren't live) suggested. we like to cook and would have enjoyed more extensive kitchen items- but other guests may not care as much about cooking.

    Made a long weekend trip to Richmond with my two pre-teen daughters and my 70-year-old mom and couldn't have picked a better place to stay. First, there was plenty of space. The three bedrooms were perfect with the kids in the master splitting the king and mom and I each taking a queen room. Beds are a bit tall, but mattresses are nice and comfortable - and plenty of pillows! There is a vanity in the walk-in closet of the master set up like a home office desk, so if you needed to bring your laptop and do a little work, that was an added bonus. The upstairs bathroom has doors in both the hallway and the master, which is both a blessing for convenience and a curse (whoever is in the master bed can hear everything going on in there). There is a TV in every bedroom with pretty much any streaming service you can think of, plus live TV available, which was great because we all wanted to watch different things to wind down at bedtime. There is also a TV in the living room, although we never used it during our stay. We didn't cook in the kitchen, but it had everything you would need if you planned to during a longer stay. The hosts also graciously provided copious snacks (the kids were big fans!) and K-cups of coffee. The washer and dryer was a huge plus too after we spent the day at the water park at Kings Dominion and were able to clean and dry our swim clothes. Street parking and a pad in the back meant plenty of space for 2 cars if you needed it. Highly recommend!
