Historic & Modern Retreat Near Downtown Richmond!

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great place to stay. We loved the house and the neighborhood and the amenities are great. I would absolutely stay here again! Other people in the reviews mentioned noise from upstairs. These house are historic houses so there was noise upstairs but it didn't bother us. There was no noise at bedtime. The fact that the house is historic is amazing but it does come with the ability to hear quite a bit of waking and stomping upstairs. I would not let it deter you from booking this place."
