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 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.

A Total Vibe
My husband and I were in town to watch the Dave Matthews Band for 2 nights. When searching for a place to stay, location to the venue and good eateries were a must. We walked into our apartment and it was a whole vibe in itself. Beautiful hardwood floors, decor was top notch, spacious and clean - it was like I was a part of the band staying in my own little suite because it sits above a music store too. Our apartment overlooked Broad st. It was fun to people watch while enjoying a glass of wine before the shows. Mark and his entire team were chefs kiss. From check in to check out. Top notch. I think it was Jason who checked us in (I could be totally wrong - plays in a band, long dark hair) and let me tell ya, he did everything but roll out a red carpet for us. If he had a carpet, he probably would have. He helped us unloaded our luggage, showed us to our suite and gave some great tips on places to eat. Thank you so much sir!! You were amazing and deserve a raise. I would absolutely book this again. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
There was little to like. The property was misrepresented as a "Penthouse" the only definition that fit this description was the fact that it was on the top floor.
Not 600sqft, not clean at all. And worst of all the owner will not give full refund.

Super cute place and good location walkable to many restaurants. Could use some more dishes & cooking utensils. The only inconvenience is the parking that expires at 6am daily. You have to set your alarm to renew the parking since it can't be done automatically with the app.

Just what we needed
We were looking for a centrally-located, comfortable spot from which to explore Richmond. I can’t do stairs, so the easy access from the parking lot out back and the elevator made it perfect for me. Our hosts greeted us warmly and urged us to contact them with any issues or questions. We didn’t need them, but it was nice to know they were close by, in the music store. The 4th floor apartment was spacious and plenty quiet enough despite being on a busy street. We were very pleased and would come again.

Very efficient and homey
My stay at this location was flawless. The host went above and beyond and provided intricate amenities that matter when staying away from home. The property was clean. Quiet. And very welcoming. The on larding process was quick and very professional. An actual representative was there to give a tour and to answer any questions or concerns about the property. One of the best experiences I’ve had using this platform. Highly recommended and would definitely utilize this listing again.

Could have been better
We have stayed in many VRBO properties and have been very pleased. This one was not among the best of them. A small thing but the ice maker didn’t work so there was no ice. I was told that they knew it wasn’t working and they told me where the nearest store was. Seems like they would have put a bag of ice in the freezer. There appeared to be no effort to fix it. In check out communion we were asked to sweep the property. We had paid a cleaning fee. Seems
like sweeping should be included. On previous visit to Richmond we had stayed in a lovely VRBO. Sorry I tried something new.
