Has potential, but...
Overall, the stay was alright. The neighborhood wasn't unsafe, but it wasn't exactly clean and quiet. The house was good, and fit our needs for the week we were there. Except...The kitchen was disgusting when we arrived. There were standing pools of water between the dishes and bowls stacked in the cabinets. There was standing yellow water in the coffee carafe. Somehow, a pile of coffee grounds came out of the k-cup dispenser when we cleaned it. Blinds were broken -- one heavily -- and the pots were rusted through. We reached out about the pots, and thankfully the rental company was able to get us new pots delivered the next morning. I could forgive most of this, but many of the same issues we saw were mentioned in a review six months ago. With that in mind, I wouldn't be able to recommend this stay without more issues being addressed.

Great base for marathon weekend
Stayed here for marathon weekend. Location worked very well as it was only about a mile from starting line and only about a 5 min drive to the restaurants and bars of The Fan neighborhood. The house was clean and comfortable with easy check-in/check-out. It is close to train tracks, and there was usually one loud train whistle each night. I would happily stay here again.

Property was rated as exceptional but that wasn't our experience
Positives:
The owner is very responsive to emails.
The location is close to restaurants and supermarkets by car.
Plenty of space to stretch out in the dining room and living room.
Kitchen is spacious and plenty of room in the fridge and counter space.
What we didn't love:
Lots of little fixes that could improve the experience, like knobs in the kitchen that needed simple fixes, and fixing the trash can lid;
The pans in the kitchen were Teflon, very old and used, we didn't want to cook anything in them.
There are two chairs in the living room but no side tables, so no where to put a drink.
Master bedroom shades were broken in parts, looked cheap and unloved.
Master bed was impossible to sleep on, I sunk down so far when I laid on it, it is very poor quality and ended up sleeping in another room.
House smells like someone smoked in it years ago, and it seemed like there was some attempt to mask it, but I could still smell it.
Master bathroom - there are 2 sinks, one which has terrible water pressure; the other has good water pressure, but you have to kneel on the toilet to use that sink.
Cabinets in the master bathroom need to be painted, looked cheap and worn.
Master shower head could be replaced which would improve the flow; water pressure in both bathrooms was weak.
Neighborhood isn't attractive.
Overall, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for. I think the home could be improved quite easily with a few easy upgrades.

Perfect location to explore Downtown Richmond and nearby breweries!
The house is in excellent condition and in a perfectly central location to explore Richmond. After long days of exploring, it was very comfortable to come back and hang out in the living room or on the back deck. The beds were cozy, the plumbing worked well and everything was a clean as could be. Well done James!
