Perfect spot to stay for the weekend.

We were in town for wedding weekend and this couldn’t have been a better location. So many great spots for coffee or lunch within just a few minutes. The house was just as described in the listing and was perfect accommodations for 3 adults and our toddler. I would recommend to anyone staying in Richmond!

Good fit

This home was a very good fit for our needs. Very clean and easy to use. All appliances were functional and television access was simple and old-fashioned broadcast television. We are seniors and 9 of 10 times we have to login, create a login or worse, create a new account and pay for a new app to watch something that my partner is comfortable with. Kitchen was well supplied. Yard was very secure for a medium/large dog. Neighborhood was friendly and even eager to help…a rare thing. Good location, as we go all over this city when we are there to visit family, attend to medical appointments and hit our favorite bars and restaurants. All very good.

Wedding weekend stay

We rented Josh’s place as a centralized location for a wedding. The location could not have been more ideal- about 15-20 min from everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely to walk around for some exercise. We utilized the back porch area every evening to soak up the beautiful Richmond weather.
