The space
A historic Broad Street furniture and music warehouse that recently underwent a multi-million dollar conversion while maintaining original architecture according to Federal and State historic guidelines. We essentially maintained all the unique and classic features of this beautiful old building and renovated it completely to today's standards. We kept quaint features like the 100 year old heart pine hardwood floors and pressed tin ceilings and added modern amenities such as HVAC, skylights, atrium's and elevator. It would be a challenge to find a more unique location than this condo right on West Broad Street in the Arts District.
Unique coffee shops, clothing and music stores, fine restaurants are just steps away outside your door. Enjoy downtown RVA in this totally revised neighborhood located between two universities (VCU and MCV). Situated across the street from the Virginia Repertory Theater. Next door to the new Bar Solita, Quirk Hotel (with rooftop bar), City of Richmond Police Headquarters, Perly's and Tarrants. If you love great food, Richmond is serious about delivering meals and spaces that exceed your expectations.
Btw, the largest food festival in Virginia occurs each year right out front of this property. Join us as we close down 5 blocks of West Broad Street and throw the biggest food and music festival in Virginia! "Broad Appetit Food Festival". This benefit for the Central Virginia Foodbank occurs in downtown RVA the first Sunday in June yearly! Over 35-40k attendees have shown up for this one day event (We help coordinate all the entertainment with over 14 bands and 2 stages) and it happens right our Metro Sound front door each year.
Simply put, this is a great city-central location that offers everything to the discerning Richmond traveler or businessperson. Keep in mind that a new Pulse Rapid Transit system was just completed out front of the building. It takes you 8 miles quickly down West Broad. Also, parking is readily available with several options within a block or so.

It was very quaint. My wife and I loved it. Plenty of room. We loved our stay there in Richmond. I have to come back in August and am hoping to stay again. This could be where we stay when we visit family there from now on

I tagged along while my husband was at the conference center for work and it was perfect! Easy walk to restaurants and coffee shops and busses are free so you can jump on to see any historical sites. The room is clean and easy to get to! Highly recommend!
5.0
The stay was great overall. The property is a beautiful restoration. The apartment was as advertised . The comfort level left a bit to be desired . But the absolute best part was the communication with the owner and staff. Also your cleaning services clearly don’t vacuum
5.0
My husband and I stayed in Richmond for a long weekend and lucked onto this beautiful condo in downtown. We are fans of old buildings and this one was old but still in great shape, very nicely kept up and included all the amenities we needed. The condo had 3 huge street- facing windows that admitted Plenty of light and made for some fun watching of the street scene below. Check in was seamless and the hosts were super responsive. We had to keep moving our car around in order to obtain reasonable parking that did not expire at 6 AM or some other time like that, but we worked it out. We would definitely stay here again

We went to Richmond for a play at the Altria Theater and this location was within walking distance to the theater and some great restaurants. We only stayed one night, parking was right behind building. Host was excellent with great info.

Super easy check in, and they even helped us take our bags up! Building was clean and felt secure. Beautiful view from our apartment. Comfortable bed and couch. Looking for an excuse to.come back!

Very nice and within walking distance to most of Richmond. Plenty of good restaurants, bars and breweries nearby as well. We enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful 4th floor penthouse. It was clean, spacious, and convenient to everything we wanted to do while in Richmond during the holidays. The owners were also great with communicating and made us feel right at home. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks so much!
5.0
Just as pictured: great light from large windows, cozy space perfect for lounging on cold blustery days. Open kitchen area with nice amenities. The apartment has a nice cozy yet historic feel to it with beautiful floors and restored ceilings. We walked mostly at Maymount and the beautiful Hollywood Cemetry overlooking the James River, not so much downtown. We would stay here again.
5.0
We were very impressed with the overall appearance of the condo. It was very comfortable. Great location to the convention center where we were working for the weekend. Surrounded by AMAZING food and fun bars.
Parking outback was pretty straight forward and more inexpensive than other areas.
Thanks for a great weekend!

This property met my expectations. Recommended for an individual or couple looking to stay in a nice walk-up apartment in the RVA arts district.
5.0
It was very easy to work with Mark through the booking and check in process. The unit is clean and very well appointed. The pictures on the site are accurate and representative of the property. The space is cozy and comfortable. The location for anything in downtown RVA is perfect. I would 100% recommend this property, and would very happily stay again!
5.0
We hadn’t been to Richmond and wanted to experience it’s rich Civil War history. Getting around by car or on foot is easy, and the local food scene was an unexpected bonus.
The space was quiet, clean and had a nice vibe. It was just right for us. Great visit
5.0
The place was clean and conveniently located. We were in Richmond for Easter weekend to visit family who live just a few blocks away. We walked everywhere or rented ebikes so the location of this apartment was ideal for all that we wanted to see. Check in was easy. We did not have much communication with the owner as it wasn't necessary (again we were with local family) but he or the additional staff seemed very accessible should we have needed them.
5.0
Comfortable and clean apartment in the heart of Richmond. Walkable area with great restaurants, accommodating manager. This was our second stay in this property and won’t be our last!
5.0
Center of the ART district and great restaurants around the corner. The check in process is unlike any other VBRO and to be taken to the room, review of access protocols, etc really is a flashback to days gone by. The instructions were clear and concise. Get the parking situation down pat. RVA parking requires a 12 hour check in.

The unit was attractive and very clean and had everything I needed for a lovely stay.

Check in was easy. Host was great with communication and helpful upon arrival with luggage and parking. Had everything needed in bath and kitchen. Loved the old charm but the freshened touch with loft apartment. Nice location in walking distance to good restaurants, museums, and governor’s district. Only a couple of blocks from Jefferson Hotel, which was nice to see decorated for Christmas.
5.0
I chose this location because of its proximity to the starting line for my half marathon race. I was able to walk there in less than 15 minutes. Also very walkable to capital monuments and numerous restaurants. Host was an excellent communicator and helped to resolve a minor issue very quickly.

A very comfortable, clean, and well appointed apartment with easy walking access to Arts District and Downtown. Super responsive hosts. We would go back!!

Helped us out a lot during our stay, especially when we had to extend! Great location, great amenities, we loved our stay here!
5.0
This place was not only super chic but the bed is incredibly comfortable. All amenities that you could need or want are included which always makes things easier when traveling. There is a bodega/corner store close by, there’s a Rite Aid close by. Everything that you could need is either within walking distance or a short car ride. The location is killer. I absolutely loved being near Gwar bar and saw a great metal show at Gallery 5 as well. Being near some great restaurants cafés galleries and shops was also really enjoyable. I’m a music lover and musician so renting a place from people who run a music store was right up my alley. There’s only one improvement I would suggest and that’s the bedframe. If you’re not careful in the night time you will bang your shins on the corners of it! 🤣
I’d easily stay here again. Thank you to Mark and Tommy. Richmond is so exciting for a creative and progressive minded person such as myself. I will return soon!

Great accommodation
Excellent apartment and location. Great (paid) parking, too, important because this is right in the heart of Richmond’s downtown. We had an enjoyable start and would stay here again.
5.0
A magical stay in a perfectly managed space!
Everything about the space and connecting with the hosts was an absolute pleasure. They have really crafted a clean and simple VRBO experience, and we never ran into any snags or quirks through our entire stay.
The space itself was also very accurate, and we found it to be a magical space. It also helps that it is set right in the heart of the Arts District, and is surrounded by some of the best food in the city.
I highly recommend this location, as well as the hosts, too anytime hoping to stay in Richmond. We’ll certainly be back fora second stay the next time we’re in the area!

Great location. Close to everything.
Apartment was clean, hosts were friendly and parking in back was $8/day. Great downtown location.

The apartment is located within easy walking distance to VCU, public transportation and restaurants, but most importantly close to our grandkids. Check in and out was very easy and we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect downtown location - centrally located
We stayed in this Monroe Ward Property for 9 days while we moved into our new house in Richmond. The house was on the south side of the James and the property is in downtown, but it is so well-located that we could be at the house in minutes via the freeway and anywhere else we needed to go in the city.
The unit is nicely decorated and fairly well appointed. It's an old building with a lot of charm (tin ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors) with all the modern amenities including an elevator, high-speed internet and washer/dryer. There are multiple options for parking in the rear of the building and on surrounding side streets. Coming home late at night, we felt perfectly safe as the Richmond Police Department is next door.
There are any number of dining options in a variety of price ranges within easy walking distance.
The host and his assistant were extraordinarily helpful and responsive. Additional supplies appeared outside the door minutes after the call requesting them was placed.
We would recommend this property to anyone coming to Richmond for a short or longer stay. It was perfect for us.
