Nice place -- could use a few upgrades though
Overall we had a nice time in the area and staying in the house. The location was fine. Some of the mattresses were not very comfortable though. And there were a lot of outlets that only had two prongs (no ground), so finding a place to plug in a computer wasn't always easy in every room. Also, there were only THREE FORKS in the kitchen. That is really weird. Another review said there weren't enough glasses or mugs, which I think they fixed, but three forks? That really shouldn't happen. We had to buy plastic forks. There was also only one dishwasher pod left. I think whoever maintains the property should spend more time in between tenants making sure EVERYTHING is up to par.

Family get together
Comfortable home and good location. Easy access to Richmond. Sleeping arrangements are great but rest of home a little tight for our group of 7. Not enough space in living room, not enough glasses or mugs for our group plus lacks serving dishes/utensils. But didn't stop our fun.

Calm retreat
We were in town for a sad occasion, the home was a calming retreat. James responded in a timely fashion with any concerns. I would stay there again if ever in Richmond.

Adequate accommodations
If you have a property that sleeps 8, you might want to have enough dishes for same. Only had 4 coffee cups. Kitchen was not exactly fully stocked. There was trash in the yard and cushions outside were a mess. No bath soap in upstairs shower. Had 2 shampoos and 1 conditioner. Email instructions and notes in the property were aggressive and off-putting. Alley parking and location were very convenient for our trip.

Christmas family stay
Home interior was clean, comfortable. Yard was fenced, which was good for two dogs that we brought. Bedrooms were large. Beds were comfortable. Living area furniture was quite dated but we did not use that area. Downstairs bath was small but updated in parts. Back yard could have been cleaned up a bit, but the pups didn’t mind. Communication with property manager was outstanding, even through Christmas Eve.

Va visit
The house worked out well for our trip. Overall it was great. The two beds upstairs were comfortable. Queen bed on bottom floor was lumpy (could feel heal marks) and the trundle bed was completely sunk in the middle. Not a big deal for my 5 year old but for an older, heavier person it would have been unbearable. The communication with owner was quick and easy.

Graduation trip
We (two couples and a dog) stayed here for our nephew’s graduation in Midlothian and it was a great location half-way between the graduation festivities and fun things to do in Richmond. Would definitely stay again.

Great time!
We came into town for a wedding and the house was wonderful! Had a lot of charm, very clean, communication was great with our host. Location was close enough to downtown to enjoy several outings with the kids in between wedding events. Would definitely recommend!

Great place, great location, great host
The location was perfect for us. Easy access to Richmond and the suburbs to visit family. Close to shops and services. Loved the off street parking in the back and the patio / yard. We maxed the place out with 2 couples, our elder aunt, sis with 2 yng adults (18,15) and of course, our 10 lbs. poodle. Everyone was slept comfortable and was able to relax reading at the table, watching tv and hanging on the patio. Host was great. Communicative and responsive. Thank you James

Good location but bring your own pillow!
While not the best neighborhood, the location was great, close to food, parks and shops. The house was clean, except the outside, there was broken glass in the yard, container full of gasoline and bottle full of cigarette butts (which were all cleaned up the next day after we called) and the outdoor seating was dirty and unusable - which was unfortunate as the weather was nice and our kids wanted to play outside. The interior was clean and well stocked, but not comfortable for more than a night or two. I would rec that the owner come stay for a few days and understand what guest need! They don’t need a large arm chair in the middle of the living room, but would like comfortable clean couches. You don’t need a bunch of tchotchkes everywhere for decoration, but you do need a side table in the bathroom to place your toiletries. And you don’t need a bunch of extra pillows if they all suck! There is so much little stuff they could do to make this house great and even potentially charge more money. Collect the mail out front so it looks like someone lives there, put five dollar chargers in all the rooms because there are no outlets that you can reach, bigger trashcan in the kitchen, simple/clean outdoor furniture to take advantage of that great yard, good sleeping pillows, take stuff off the walls, and don’t make anyone go into that terrifying basement for laundry! We will not stay here again, but am appreciative of the very responsive and welcoming property manager who was communicative and really helpful.
