I'd have loved to stay longer. Quaint upstairs unit with inviting back deck, comfortable (and gorgeous) beds, and plenty of room to spread out/get some privacy after a day of family togetherness. :) Check-in was easy. The neighborhood is quiet -- though two blocks from the heart of Carytown -- and so close to VMFA with its gorgeous grounds and fun people-watching. Street parking was likewise easy. As we were moving our son into his dorm, we had lots of stuff in two cars, but never had a problem finding a spot right out front, and I didn't worry about break-ins, either. The kitchen was fully stocked -- and more -- as Lynley provided so many delicious treats, including high quality necessities like coffee, milk, and eggs. The place felt clean and fresh throughout; she obviously puts a lot of effort and thought into ensuring happy guests. I'll definitely try to stay here again whenever we travel without our dog. My only cautionary note: the unit is upstairs, and the stairs are somewhat narrow, so it wouldn't be suitable for guests with mobility challenges (or perhaps for newly mobile toddlers, either, though there is a delightful children's playroom at the front of the house).

Great place and great location. The hosts thought of everything, and we enjoyed our stay very much. Lots of room for our family to relax and play games; a welcome basket of snacks, high quality coffee and even breakfast items. Truly a great experience! We would definitely seek out this property again when returning to Richmond.

This location was perfect for our needs. It is within walking distance too the CMoR, SMR, VMFA, Melmont and so much more. Cary St was perfect for ice cream each night. If your traveling with smaller children we would recommend a wagon or bikes. The property was exactly as described. The only improvement that could be made is adding a stool. Everything is very high.

Thank you Lynley for an amazing stay. We had such a lovely visit and this space was perfect to host us. I got to visit with family and grill on the back deck. Comfortable beds and everything we needed for the weekend. Safe little block with parking to boot. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Suggest some improvements... Shower lighting is a bit weak. Would be better to have light in the area above and inside the shower. Bathroom does lack exhaust fan. The interior door knobs for the rooms should be replaced and modernized. One of the room door knob is falling apart.
