We had an excellent experience. Lynley, the property manager, was incredible. She responds immediately and takes care of the property very well. There were a few things that needed attention but very minor. It was not an upscale place, but very affordable and in a neighborhood with lots of families close together. It was the perfect location to lots of things to see and do in Richmond.

Nice property and convenient location to Hollywood Cemetery, Allianz Ampitheater & Carytown. Quiet neighborhood and ample street parking. Have to rave about the beds! The most comfortable rental beds we’ve ever slept in! Fluffy, soft sheets, lots of pillows. All 3 beds were comfortable! Very pleased with our choice!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was cute, clean, and convenient to the interstate. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. It could use a new set of cookware, but we were able to cook 2 basic pasta meals with the pots and pans that were there. We loved being able to park our car securely behind the back gate. We also loved that our pup had a yard to roam without having to be leashed. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was fine overall, but there were quite a few issues that made it less enjoyable than we hoped.The air conditioner made a loud *boom* sound every time it turned on and off, which was especially disruptive at night.When we arrived, the bottle of Dawn dish soap at the kitchen sink was completely empty. I let the owner know, and their only response was, *“Let me know if you’d like me to bring some.”* I felt a more proactive approach would have been appropriate.There was also a leak from the fridge when using the water dispenser — bad enough that we had to soak up the water with several small towels any time we used it. The owner said they’d get someone to fix it *after* we left, which didn’t help us during our stay.The back gate didn’t function well either. The temporary fix was a bungee cord, which was awkward to use. The back sliding door with a curtain that didn’t slide easily was difficult to use.As for the location — it was fine, but a bit worn and rough around the edges. There are definitely more charming areas to stay and I’d search a little harder for something nicer.Overall, the visit was okay, but between the disruptive noise, maintenance issues, and a generally “just okay” atmosphere, we probably wouldn’t return.

Great stay!

We were in Richmond for my son's wedding at The Valentine. The home's location was perfect for everything we did. The home is very inviting and very comfortable. It was just as described in the listing. The beds are all extremely comfortable, the shower had great water pressure, and we had plenty of room. It was very quiet at night, which was great.We did not bring our Lab with us, but he would have loved the backyard!Whenever we travel back to Richmond, we will definitely plan to stay here again!

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.

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.

Expensive for what you get

The townhouse is located in a very run down section of the area. It is close to VCU and very walkable to the restaurants in the area. The house is very worn out, a number of repairs needed, and was not well cleaned for us. The backyard is usable for dogs to go out which was helpful, but the back gate does not shut securely. Our SUV did not fit in the parking spot provided but there was ample street parking. Overall it was overpriced for what you get.

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.

Great place!

We stayed here to attend a music festival. The property was clean with lots of nice touches. There were snacks and all convenience appliances, which were clean and in good working order. The yard was fenced which was great for pets who were in unfamiliar surroundings. The beds were super comfortable and the linens clean. Great wi-fi and so nice to have a TV in all bedrooms for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was super clean, which is important to me when preparing food. Nice front and back porches to hang out on. Good area to take early morning walks in; close enough to restaurants if we preferred to walk instead of drive. Adequate parking for our entire group. We'd stay again!
