Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The Fan District is one of the most interesting areas in Richmond because of its unique architecture, restaurants, and local shops. Named for the fan-like layout of its streets, it runs westward from Belvedere Street, near Monroe Park, ending on the eastern side of the Boulevard. Predominantly a residential area, the Fan is a fun place to wander and admire the many styles of architecture from the mid-late 19th century, including Italianate, Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, and Colonial Revival. Homeowners in The Fan have entertainment at their fingertips with walkable parks, restaurants, and museums

This is the second time our team has rented this place. It’s a perfect place for a team outing as it has a lot of great bedrooms, large rooms with lots of couches that easily accommodated out team for the meetings we wanted to have, a great kitchen and large dining table, Lots of TVs, a nice outdoor space and is located walking distance from some fantastic Richmond “things”. The place is clean, well stocked, and the host is very responsive. Highly recommend.

We would 100% stay here again. The house was great, plenty of room for a group and in an excellent location. Josh was also helpful and super responsible to any questions we had. I’d absolutely recommend staying here.

Perfect space for a large group. The house was just as described, and very spacious. Lots of couch space and chairs for the dining tables, which we appreciated. The kitchen was well-stocked, with anything we needed to cook with or eat with during our stay. The location is also great - right across from the museum and walking distance to many of the city’s best restaurants. I would definitely recommend this spot for your next stay in Richmond!

The home is fantastic for groups, nicely located across from the VMFA and nearby neighborhoods of interest. Plenty of space for large groups to meet, hang out, and enjoy. The kitchen is well-equipped, the bathrooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable and spacious. Easy to get into the home. We had 10 adults, no issues with space, bathrooms, etc. Highly recommend this, don't miss it!
