Great Stay
The unit is even better than the photos. The high ceilings and large windows give a spacious feel. We checked in on a Monday which was a day the "office" (music store downstairs) was closed but the communication was great and the check in went smoothly. The apartment faces a busy street so there was street noise. You can watch all the activity down below from the big windows. The bedroom doesn't have a window but it was cozy and the bed was comfy. The Arts District is an up and coming area so there are lots of restaurants and eclectic shops, however it still has some derelict spots. Overall it's cool and interesting area. Definitely recommend this rental.

Perfect Location!
The art district is amazing and this unit is smack in the middle to be able to access both downtown and per take in all the activities the district has to offer. The unit was extremely clean and had a great view. We loved our stay here and will stay again if returning on business in the near future.

Great Way to experience Richmond
My husband and I like to forgo the chain hotels whenever possible in favor of smaller hotels and VRBO stays where you get to experience the feel of the local area. This apartment provided that in a wonderful way! The historic building has been modernized and updated without losing the best details, like the original high pressed tin ceilings. The bedroom was very quiet with a comfortable bed and there was even a washer and dryer. The living/kitchen area was nice and open with modern details. The area has a similar feel to downtown Savannah or Charleston and you are close to the convention center and several good restaurants. City Parking was conveniently located directly behind the building. Mark and Tommy (who checked us in and gave us some good restaurant recommendations) were friendly and helpful. It was a great stay while in town for a quick work trip and visit to Monticello!

Richmond staycation
Tommy was timely and very friendly and even assisted us with getting our bags inside the apartment. Overall the apartment was great. Few things that deducted one star: - the listing was a bit misleading in regard to parking. Maybe it's a verbiage thing, but "parking available" led us to believe that the unit had a designated spot (even if it would've been an additional charge). Parking was not included/available, though we were directed to the City of RVA's parking website by the hosts). - we received communication about the parking situation 24 hours prior to our stay, therefore could not cancel without incurring a fee. - the TV remote was not functional. We attempted to change the batteries but it still did not work. Not a big deal, we both downloaded the firetv app on our phones and worked around it These did not deduct from the rating, but just an FYI to future renters: - the bedroom is windowless. It provides a restful night's sleep, but we did not elect to hang out in the bedroom at all because of the lack of natural light. - the location is in the middle of downtown/shockoe and Carytown. We prefer to walk around to sitesee but because this was smack in the middle of two neighborhoods where more action is, we had to Uber everywhere.

Another great stay in Richmond’s art district
This was my third time staying in one of Mr. Szafranski’s units and the unit was just as great as the other two. Great and clean space, super comfy bed and great set up to work and relax. Walkable neighborhood close to VCU and restaurants/coffee shops. I enjoyed the space and neighborhood. I hope Mr. Szafranski appreciates returning customers like myself, although I couldn’t tell from his very canned and bland communications. I can live with that though because the space was as pictured and promised. But it would be nice to feel your returning business is appreciated! There was also another communication issue I was very disappointed with and still am (the power was out for a few hours one day; I wasn’t informed in advance although they were aware it would be out). My main disappointment was that I received a response about the issue 13 hours after I sent a message and it didn’t include any note of acknowledgment of my inconvenience. Even though the issue was out Mr. Szafranski’s control, a simple sorry for your inconvenience goes along with customer interactions. I did get in contact with his assistant during the power outage and he said he meant to tell me when I checked in the day prior. I understand we all are human and things slip our minds but again the disappointment was that Mr. Szafranski replied in the Vrbo app 13 hours later and just said we understand the power went out but thankfully it came back on in a few hours. Yes thankfully indeed and luckily I didn’t need to work early that day but Heaven help me if I had a ventilator or respirator that needed electricity. Again, just a simple “although this was out of our control, we are sorry for the inconvenience” would have went a long way. Put a bad taste in my mouth but I still rate them high (they emphasize that anything less than a 5 star rating “hurts” them) because the unit was so comfortable and served my purposes. Don’t know if I will stay again because I am not sure my business is appreciated but for other travelers considering Mr. Szafranski’s units, they are as pictured/described and are quite comfortable.

Great Access to Richmond-Light, Airy & Lots of Nice Space!
We have been traveling from Charleston, Savannah, Richmond & on to Williamsburg for our nieces wedding & stayed at Mark's place in Richmond. Great welcome by Tommy one of the the staff members. Great location to access all the sites in Richmond-easy walk to the Capital-a must-see Ms. Barbara, the Civil War Museum, a beautiful walk along the James River, tour or dine at the Jefferson Hotel & an easy drive to Monticello. You must go to Monticello-spent a fabulous Fall day there or the great wine country!! The property has lots of great restaurants in the area & especially along Grace Street. We enjoyed Stella's Grocery for take out Greek food-good! Another gem is right across the street-The November Theater-we watched the fabulous Broadway Comedy Chicken and Biscuits. Toped the trip! Quirk Roof Top Bar or stop in at the Secret Sandwich Society-Great Key Lime Pie! Thanks Mark

Great apartment in central Richmond location.
Pleasant, comfortable environment with easy access to restaurants and museums with a theater across the street. The bus stop was right out front. Barber shop and salons on the same block and quality take-out nearby. James Riverfront and Canal Walk were wonderful. Just happened to have the 2022 Richmond Folk Festival was over our weekend. I would certainly return. Parking should be no problem for tech savvy smart phone users.

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
Perfect place to stay to explore RVA! The apartment is clean, neat and comfortable! Bedroom is dark and quiet - perfect sleeping in a city setting! Mark, the host and the guys in the Music Store were easy to communicate with and helpful! Highly recommend grabbing a drink at the Quirk Hotel rooftop bar - awesome views and the pink elevator is too much fun! We had a delicious seafood dinner at The Hard Shell and then walked a couple of blocks to the Tobacco Company for their Butter cake for 2, drinks and live music! Also - worth checking out - VMFA (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts), Carytown, Hollywood Cemetery (we drove it - follow the blue line and pick up a $1 map when entering), Maymont Mansion (tour of the house was worth the $8) and the grounds are spectacular - the waterfall, Japanese and Italian gardens are beautiful. Finally take a walk on one of the walking suspension bridges over the James river! Still so much to see and do! We will be back and we will try and stay here again!

This place was perfect for our needs! We were able to walk everywhere, Whole Foods is nearby and delivers, and the bus is right outside. We had great communication with the host. I went to a conference at the convention center and it was very easy to get to. The unit has been beautifully updated and the charm of the original building retained. The bedroom is nice and dark so we slept great! We hope to be able to visit again. Highly recommend!

Great Home Base for Exploring RVA
The property is gorgeous with a view of vibrant RVA. It's centrally located and plenty is walkable. The check-in process was super easy and smooth. The place is secure and well appointed. My only teeeny tiny gripe is parking. I wish the listing had mentioned the property did not come with a parking spot. In hindsight, I should have noticed that a lack of mention about parking was an indication that it was not included. This was not a huge deal and certainly not a dealbreaker. Just a heads-up that guests can expect to pay $18/day for parking at the parking lot just across the street to the east. I'll still come back to RVA and I'll absolutely consider coming back to Mark's place in the Monroe Ward neighborhood!
