Lovely little condo in a great location. I only needed it as a crash pad to shower and sleep but it would be perfect for a longer stay. Property mangers were very responsive and helpful.

Great vacation rental. Location was awesome. We never had much trouble finding street parking. Like other guests have mentioned, be prepared to buy some extra supplies (toilet paper, shampoo, dishwasher and laundry determent, garbage sacks, etc.). We would stay there again.

Great Location--Would Return

We visited Richmond to attend a wedding on Monument Ave, and this place was perfectly located in the Fan, well priced, and had bright, attractive common areas (living room, kitchen). It worked well for my wife and me and our teenage child who was traveling with us. The bathroom could use updating and there were some minor maintenance issues (no clothes rod in the master closet, closet door that wouldn't stay on the track in the second bedroom, etc.), but those did not detract from the overall pleasantness of the experience. Street parking was not an issue. Would recommend/return to this property.

Spring Break in the Fan

Overall a quaint spot to experience the wonderful Fan District. Walking distance to everything you could want. Parking was available out front without issue. Only issue is if listing states it sleeps 4, 4 towels would have been appropriate. Second bed is a bit small, but we made it work for us. No real complaints!

Lovely spot - Super clean and modern

What a lovely spot to stay in while visiting family! The neighborhood was safe and quiet. The rooms were comfortable and pretty. Everyone was happy. I would say that the second bedroom comfortably sleeps one person not two. Our other son uncomfortably slept on the couch but they took turns. It is a cute couch but not a sleep couch. Bring your own Keurig coffee pods as they don’t stock much in the way of supplies here. That said it was a 10 min walk to great brunch spots and Shindigz for dessert.

Great location, but issues

We really liked our apartment. It was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. There were only 2 issues. The water pressure in the bathroom was extremely low. And the neighbor upstairs was SO loud. They had loud conversations until around 2 AM, heavy footsteps, and an extremely loud TV that stayed on all night until 4 AM. It was almost impossible to sleep.

This property is like represented in the listing. This was probably our 4th stay here. Very convenient to family in the Fan. Could use more utensils in the kitchen to adequately accommodate 2 - 3 people. The TV remote didn't work appropriately during this stay. Every time we wanted to turn down the volume we needed to take the batteries out. This needs attention.

The Perfect Place

We were in town for our son’s graduation from VCU and stayed at this property. Everything about the place and the experience with Mainstay was awesome.The place was super clean, the beds comfortable, the kitchen nice and open and the wifi was super fast. The neighborhood was quiet, safe, friendly and close enough to walk to several restaurants in minutes. Communication with the property management team was easy. Any question I had was replied to in minutes and they happily met a request we made upon arrival.Myself, my wife , my mom and our 25 pound dog all enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this place 1000% to any friends, family and strangers. 10/10.

Property was great! Two small things that need to be change; 1. Closet needs an actual closet hanging bar, the curtain rod is not sturdy and insufficient to hang clothes during stay. 2. Need a real deadbolt.
