This place was absolutely perfect for our family to gather in Richmond for the Christmas holiday. The house itself was immaculate, the kitchen and living area were perfect for cooking, eating and visiting all at the same time. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to find. We felt like we were staying in a friend's very nice home and not in an airbnb. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely and the downstairs basement game room and giant TV and sofa were great. The neighborhood is among the best in Richmond, five minute walk to coffee and restaurants in Carytown, and just two blocks to VMFA. The alley access and parking spot in the rear was a great bonus. The cost was not cheap so we had high expectations but I will say the home exceeded our expectations and was more than I hoped and imagined in gathering our extended family for the holiday. Josh was responsive and answered messages within 15 minutes or so and was happy to resend information that had gotten buried.

Josh was very helpful and responded fast! The home was just as pictured and in a great neighborhood. I’ve never seen an Airbnb stocked with so many essentials! I will be staying here again!

We had a fantastic stay! The location couldn’t have been better—close to everything we wanted to see, yet quiet in the evenings. The space was cozy and inviting. Everything was spotless and exactly as described. Josh was awesome—super responsive, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
