Holiday Wedding Weekend in Richmond

This property was perfect for our stay over New Year’s weekend! The neighborhood was absolutely precious with Christmas lights in all the trees and the decorated homes. Parking is on the street, but we never had an issue finding a close spot. The home itself is very spacious and comfortable and had every amenity we needed.

We were in town for a family party and had two couples (sisters and spouses) and 86 year old mother. The stairs going up are quite steep but mom was a champ. Just a warning for anyone. with mobility issues. The rest of the place was laid out ideally for just enough visiting space and private space. Nice yard too!! very great neighborhood if you run!!!! This would have been ideal for a family with some teen kids. There is a little gaming area. Hostess was great!! All in all I say go for it!

Lovely but Lacking

We want to give honest feedback so you can improve this accommodation - it has potential to be great. Towels, bedding and linens are not acceptable for a VRBO accommodation. Mismatched, stained, old. Several broken items like kitchen cabinet door and microwave handle. Generally the space wasn’t very clean. Controls for radiator vs AC need to be identified. Furniture and rugs are stained. Cooking debris in the drawers and bottom drawer of oven. Porches were filthy, and unusable. There were cobwebs in the windows. Shower liner was too big and not clean in hallway bathroom. Liner touches you when showering. Only 1 window in two bedrooms with 2 windows had a window blind. We loved the location and the Fan neighborhood. Mollie was extremely helpful/responsive. Mattresses were comfortable. Would stay again if items above were corrected.

Hello! My husband and I live in the downstairs apartment with my two daughters, so we will always be available should you need anything. We love living in The Fan and are happy to give recommendations for places to eat, things do, and shops to visit. So please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

What makes this property unique

We are positioned in a fantastic location in The Fan. You can walk to the museums, restaurants, VCU, Carytown, and Scott's Addition. Quick uber ride to get downtown. On a nice night, it's quite nice to sit on the front porch and watch the people walk by.
