Richmond Getaway

The location was perfect for us. We loved being able to walk to Hollywood cemetery, and my husband loved being able to easily bike to both the Pump House park and to the Belle Isle bridge. Everything else was an easy drive(under 10 minutes). The property was clean and, check in/out was very easy. We would absolutely stay again.

Very clean, comfortable, easy access to Richmond. Check in was fairly smooth, but I didn't get the access code until 10 mins before our check in time. Altogether would recommend for a Richmond stay

Close to VCU

This is our second time staying here. We love how close it is to VCU and it’s walking distance from our son’s apartment. Lynley is a great host, she’s very responsive if you need to reach out to her. The place is a good size and the beds are comfortable. The snacks left for guests is a plus.

Richmond gem

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.

Easy peasy!

The stay was a breeze, easy to get in, very comfortable, and a bonus was the variety of snack offerings. The location is great if you need to be near VCU or downtown. The neighborhood itself lacked charm but is safe and easy to get to. Great place!

Great Place for a family visiting

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.
