Nice spot for the price

If you’re looking for a clean, secure spot in the arts district this is it. Street noise in the morning is a thing, but if I needed to sleep past 7:30 earplugs worked just fine.

5 day stay

Very convenient. The bed was comfortable. Great location. Staff was responsive and friendly. Parking could be explained in more detail as I did get a ticket. (Parked in the correct space and paid ( I thought). Just one of those things.

Great place to stay in the arts district.

came for a conference weekend at the convention center. It was a 10 minute walk to the center. The only issue was that the sink drained very slow, and water pressure for everything was really slow, but overall great people.

Little Gem in the heart of the Art District

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay! The condo was situated right in the heart of the art district and the best part is was right above a music store! We loved that! The condo was clean with a full size kitchen and washer and dryer! We had just fished a 3-day backpacking trip so that was a life saver! We will definitely be visiting Richmond again and this will be our go to place to stay!

This is a great place.

It has been a while since we stayed at a place using VRBO. Staying here was an excellent way to start using the service again. The location was incredible—the arts district was right outside our window. The staff was professional and nice. The place was more than what my wife and I needed. Flexible, kind, and professional is how I would describe the staff for this wonderful place. Please don't pass on this one; it was a great stay.

We had a great few days in Richmond! This condo was the perfect location for attending a conference at the convention center. We were surrounded by art and great restaurants. The condo was clean and comfortable and my husband was able to work from home there.

Best business📗 birthday♏ baecation 💞

Thank you Mark for this welcomed quite, and clean space. Check in was super easy with Tommy. I'm looking forward to return to visit all the delicious restaurants in walking distance that I did not have time to visit. Bed and pillows were a bit soft for my taste, but still comfortable with this annoying AS disease. All in all, I'm looking forward to making this a routine visit when I come back to the area. Thank you again.
