My spouse, two dogs and I stayed here while in town for a concert. We loved being so close to a main strip with tons of shops and restaurants. The space was cozy and having a full kitchen was great. Our dogs loved having a yard to run around. The owners were very hospitable and communicative, we would definitely stay again!

This is a studio that backs up to Cary St. & a lot of resturants & stores are within walking distance. However, it is very noisy & always had someone coming or going. They were doing construction on the front house & used the gate by our door to come & go on a regular basis. Not relaxing, private or quiet. Also, not enough hot water for more than one shower. And they need something over the main door,so when it is raining you don't get soaked trying to get in the place.

Easy to find & such an overall simple, clean experience. The bed was so comfortable & we really appreciated the additional snacks & refreshments! Parking was easy to find right in front of the property, plenty of delicious food options nearby, and we were only going to stay one night before setting out for the second part of our roadtrip, so it was just perfect for a short & convenient stay.

A private little gem of a unit with a great fenced in yard for our pup. Easy peasy check in. And the best place for accessing Cary Street one block away. I would recommend putting a little footstool near the bed for us shorties who have to climb into bed. :)

We rented this place as it had a fenced yard that we hoped a small dog could use. The grassy space shown in photo was muddy & there was limited grass. Otherwise, the unit was clean & hosts provided snacks & wine. There were 3 adults. The double bed/couchwas convenient but uncomfortable

The property itself is wonderful and was perfectly located. It is well appointed. My only problem (which was huge) was that upon arrival the city of Richmond was completely without water and therefore the rental had no functioning toilet, shower or kitchen. I asked but was never offered even a partial refund for this enormous inconvenience. I had to travel 40 miles outside of the city just to buy 10 gallons of water just to flush the toilet. If there had not been a water problem I would have given this property 5 stars.

This unit was great! Had everything. Only two suggestions: 1) full length wall mirror and 2) antenna for tv to watch local channels. Bed was comfortable, temperature was easy to control. Kitchen was great. Nice yard for our dog. And the location was the best around! Hosts were responsive and helpful. You’ll like this place a lot!

The house is nicely set off the main drag which makes it very quiet at night. Literally can walk to shops, restaurants and bars. I highly recommend this VRBO listing. The host is an excellent communicator!!
