We visited Richmond for the first time. This bungalow was well located to visit all around the city. The neighborhood is quiet and safe -- I walked my dog to the park every night -- and the backyard was nice for dogs. The bed was comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed for a few days. We'd definitely stay again. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay in Richmond. The house was perfectly located and since we were traveling with pets, it was ideal. The backyard was perfect for the dogs and so nice and peaceful to sit out side and relax. The beds were really comfortable. Everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Very comfortable stay with our dog

Drove to Richmond with our dog to attend a concert at University of Richmond's Modlin Arts Center, so we did have a car. Location of this comfortable, efficient bungalow with a fenced backyard is not downtown, but it is an easy drive to downtown. Forest Hills neighborhood has plenty to enjoy without a car. We took several walks through the community, and I visited Forest Hills Park, and, of course, Crossroads Coffee and Ice Cream :) We didn't get to the tennis courts this time.

Richmond stay

This was a cute house to stay in! The pictures were accurate, the neighborhood was walkable and cute and loved having the fenced in backyard for our dog! It’s an older home which I love but the door handles were a little sticky. Once you got used to them there was no issue! The beds were comfy and it was a nice house to relax between our activities!
