Good location
The apartment was great, very clean and the bed was super comfortable. I was worried it might be noisy since it faces the street but noise was not an issue. When we first pulled into the back parking lot we thought the area might be a little sketchy but that’s not the case at all. It is a very safe area, lots of young adults walking around in the evening just enjoying the area. We paid to park in the back lot and it was 8 a day- you have to be mindful to keep renewing your space- it only allows 24 hours??( I think) at time. Definitely a convenient location with plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops with in walking distance.

Perfect for a long weekend getaway
Let's begin with WOW! The pictures are accurate yet cannot quite convey the comfy feel of the property. The space is secure, lovely, well equipped, and has easy parking options. We were in town for a wedding and found our location to be centrally located to all of the restaurants we wanted to try as well as the wedding venue. The bed was comfy, the kitchen was ideal (they even supplied coffee!) and there were plenty of working outlets so that we could charge all of our devices! The lighting was incredible. We had the option to be fully lit for work and then to adjust the lights for when we just wanted to relax. The closet was surprisingly spacious too. We were greeted by friendly staff who reviewed all of the features of the space and made sure that we were comfortable. Mark was very responsive and did so in a timely fashion and that made things easy too. I would highly recommend this space over a hotel in the same area which might cost more and be less comfortable. I'm usually suspicious of anyone who gets or gives 5-star reviews, but this was worth all 5 stars in every aspect. I would be happy to stay here again.

We had meetings at the convention center. It was a great place to stay that was walkable with plenty of restaurants close by. It was so nice to spread out in an apartment and not be in a hotel room for 5 days. I highly recommend!

Nice place to stay within 10 min walk to the Greater Richmond Convention Center. Some good restaurants in walking distance nearby but you have to ask where to go. Broad Street has a free bus line that will take you fairly close to museums. Uberdrivers were prompt and friendly. Property manager was great with communication and directions. Comfortable bed and good kitchen, which saved us money on breakfast each day. Convenience store Davis Market is a couple blocks away, but go during daylight hours to feel safest. They had all the normal breakfast makings we needed, plus beer and wine. A little noisy in evening because it’s on a busy street, but fairly quiet after midnight. All in all we’d recommend it and would stay again.

Festival Break
The property was very nice. The laundry set was a nice touch. 2 things seem to need attention. In the hallway, there was a lingering odor cigarette smoke. The stopper in the sink (face bowl) did not work. It seemed as though the sink was installed too close to the wall. The parking availability and cost were definite detractors. We did enjoy our stay, would revisit and would recommend to friends.

Nice Place
Communication was great and getting set up into the condo was great although upon entering the building, there were strong smoke smells. In the room, there was no smoke smell but there was some kind of odor (it wasn’t necessarily bad just very different). This wasn’t bad and we got used to it pretty quickly. My wife was several months pregnant so she was much more sensitive to smells which is why it mattered so much. The room was great and bed was very comfortable. Everything was cleaned very well (except under the bed which had a lot of dust. We dropped a pen and it rolled under which is why we saw it). The kitchen was nice and we used the laundry Machine for several loads. It was a great place to stay. The biggest difficulty at this location is the noise from the main road. Sirens from the PD next door went off several times every night and the noise from people and vehicles was loud till close to 1:00am each night. I know I mentioned several not great things but this place really was nice to stay at and was full of very friendly people.

Close to VCU
This is a perfect one bedroom apartment that is close to VCU. So convenient to everything. I was able to find parking on the street close by every day and evening with no problem at all. The apartment itself is in a cool renovated building and was perfect for what I needed. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed. They even left 2 bottles of water and some cheese-it snacks. The only downside was the weekend noise of cars racing up and down blaring music at 3 AM (more than your typical city noise), but this was only on Saturday night. I will definitely stay here again!

The Bare Minimum
The man in the music store was great to help us get in and show us everything we needed. The condo is small but looks like the pictures.This is definitely a no frills place to stay. The furniture is old with a very worn sofa. Two thin towel sets for a 3 night stay. Two bottles of water. No extra anything.The floors obviously don't get cleaned regularly ,we discovered pretty quickly that we had to wear shoes in the condo to keep the bottoms of our feet from being black. The worst part of our stay was the noise. The bedroom faces the street.The noise from the street goes on all night. It seems to be a thing to race your loud car or motorcycle up & down Broad St in the middle of the night. We got very little sleep during our 3 night stay.The building itself smells like one big ashtray. And the neighborhood is pretty seedy after dark. The location worked well for what we were doing, but we would never want to stay there again.
