An OK Place in Heart of the City
Spent 4 nights. Was leary of the location ... did not feel safe walking out on my own. Unit was fairly clean. Unit was dark. Only had one outside window in a bedroom .. blinds no work so could not let light in. Kitchen spigot sprayed everywhere. Personal impression is the place is in need of some updates/TLC. Outside door fob sometimes worked & sometimes did not ... made host aware, but half the time the door did not latch so anyone could walk in & sign on door advised do not pull door shut. Beds were hard, previous tennant dirty towel found in dresser drawer (left it there). Upstairs tennants were loud .. walking around @ night with noisy fighting.

Pictures Are Misleading
My friends and I stayed for 1 night while we were in town for a comedy show. The best part of this unit is the responsiveness of the hosts. They responded to me within minutes to any of my concerns. Also, the space is very clean. Upon walking into the building, we were instantly struck by the strong odor of marijuana. The instructions given by the hosts are outdated (they said we needed to put in a pin at the front door to get a key fob, but that was not true). The unit itself has no windows that open to the outside. The pictures on the listing shows that the space is bright and well lit when in fact, it is extremely dark without any natural lighting. The kitchen sink was broken and the kitchen trash can was broken. In the middle of the night (between 3-6 am), we heard the neighbors very loudly having conversations. It felt claustrophobic and uncomfortable. I cannot recommend this place.

More like an extended stay hotel
The unit was not only roomy, but also impeccably clean, and decorated with a nice touch. It was located in a great location in downtown Richmond. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by the inefficient check-in process. We found ourselvesan alternative unit on the morning of our scheduled arrival. The online check-inly failed to process my payment, despite multiple attempts scrambling for system repeated. The unit is an apartment building, and access is through a security door facing the street using a FOB. The FOB works intermittently. When it does not work, you wait for another tenant to enter the door or go around the block to the back door entrance. It is corporately owned rather than owned by a private investor. Our usual VRBO rentals with private owners are treated more like hosts and have welcome touches, such as a bottle of wine and, most often, coffee and tea offerings. If the renters need is to simply stay in a unit that is more hotel like, this will fit the bill. It is a nice unit in a nice location. I am confident the company can correct the FOB problem. Perhaps the payment processing was also not typical.

Centrally located Flat
The flat was centrally located. It was a unique two story build out in an old building. We were greeted at the foyer by a Colo-guard box but it wasn’t really in the way as we dragged our luggage down the. Crazy long hallway in the first floor to our room. The two bedrooms are in second floor and each have a bathroom, one is en-suite. This one has to windows to outside which makes it a bit dark. The second bedroom was nice and had a small window through which I could hear loud thumping music for 2 hours just below as someone had parked there and was partying in their car despite it being private property. The kitchen was large enough to cook a good meal for friends or family but there wasn’t really enough kitchen ware to do that. We liked the centrality of the place even if the area was strangely quiet on a gorgeous Saturday in early June.

Not the best experience
When we arrived I realized I never got any information on how to check in. I sent a message on the app and waited 10 minutes. Once I didn’t get a response I then called the host twice before making contact. I was told that I was sent the email and to check my junk folder. I had already searched all folders before reaching out. I never got the email beforehand. Then I was told that if I was checking in after 4 I was supposed to let them know ahead of time. Which was on the email so therefore I had no idea. For contactless check in I’ve never had to let a place know when I’d be there. I was quite frustrated at this point. Then the walls are so thin that I had to listen to a drunk man scream and bang on the apartment door next to us for 2 hours before calling the non emergency number to come deal with the situation at 4am. I got 3 hours of sleep the entire night. I get that the other situation was not their fault but it just added to the frustration because I didn’t realize I’d hear literally everything through the walls.

Great Location
The property overall was fine. Had enough room for us and another couple. Great location, on a quiet street, in the middle of everything. Lots of good restaurants and bars. The hallway had a bad animal smell that thankfully didn’t creep in the condo but the condo itself had a weird smell, that never went away. The walls are tissue paper thin. Be prepared!!!! We could hear people next door and above us. Trickling water through the pipes and walls all night. Make sure you bring everything you need!! Would stay again!!

DUSTY
This property would have been perfect but beware it was so dusty. I had to pop allergy pills twice a day. My friend who stayed with me had to use her inhaler. This property looks really nice and seems clean but it was so dirty. All of the carpets in every room needed a severe deep cleaning I would’ve just preferred to have no area rugs anywhere because they just looked so dingy. I’m not sure what cleaning service they’re using, but I don’t think they vacuum or dust when they go in there. It’s otherwise a nice space but I would never book it again.

Disappointing
While we were excited about staying in this property/location, specific issues with this apartment were disappointing. --The walls are paper thin, which allows one to hear conversation/noise from next-door neighbor, and the upstairs neighbor was hammering at 2AM! --We understand that kitchen supplies in a VRBO will be minimal, but there was not even a hand towel or dishcloth--we bought a towel and left it there. --There was little to no water pressure in the upstairs bathroom sinks. --In the bedroom that overlooks the back parking lot, a streetlight shines through the blinds--we had to put a towel over the blinds to block out the light overnight. This apartment is roomy and has great potential, but it needs some TLC and attention to detail for guests.

Nice property - Excellently Situated in the heart of RVA
This is a nice property, excellently situated in the heart of Richmond. It is in walking distance of everything downtown. The property is true to the listing, being a comfortable two bedroom apartment with full kitchen and living room areas. We especially like the privacy of the 2 and a half baths. As noted in the listing, the paper products are definitely a "starter set" and need to be refreshed by the rentor. We found the steps to be a bit steep and possibly not appropriate for older folks. The check-in instructions need to be clearer that the unit door lock does NOT automatically lock, you have to push the lock button (we inadvertently left it unlocked the first day or so) But on the whole, it was a very nice stay. I would be happy to stay there again.

Richmond Gem
We stayed over a long weekend for a wedding in Richmond. This property was a delight. Beautifully decorated, fully functioning kitchen, 2 1/2 baths (which is important when three adult women are getting ready for the same event). Wonderful location close to Perly's Diner for breakfast. Overnight parking in the garage down the block was super affordable ($7 per day). Can't rave enough about this propery. If we find ourselves in Richmond again, I'll definitely book again.

Easy foot access to the various neighborhoods of richmond.
This trip was fairly painless. Check in was easy and aside from the dim lighting, everything was as described. We arrived late and that was no issue for the management company. The common area before you get to the actual unit being rented does smell of stale cigarettes, but it goes away once inside the unit. There are a decent number of restaurants within a block or two and even more as you venture out. We made sure to try new ones each night.
