Warm by fun business trip.

We booked this house for a business trip because we like to have a place to cook dinner after a full day of schmoozing. The kitchen had everything we needed and the neighborhood was nice and quite with all the things we needed close by.

Great space in great location!

This is the perfect house for a family or multigenerational visitors. Close to Willow Lawn, there are plenty of options to get groceries or eat out. The house has 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the first level and the same upstairs. The kitchen is great and equipped for cooking in. Plenty of seating and the furniture is comfortable. It rained so we didn’t get to check out the fenced yard, but it’s a nice looking space.House is clean and maintained.Would definitely reserve here again.Very responsive owner.

Perfect Family Thanksgiving Accommodations

James’s house was warm, inviting and clean - something you don’t often see in a dog friendly rental! The kitchen is well appointed and well stocked, and we had everything we needed for a lovely family get together that included baking, movie watching and playing with the dogs in a safe, enclosed yard. Thank you, James, for a delightful stay. We will be back!!

Great house with amenities

Me and 4 other colleagues stayed here for a residency at VCU and enjoyed our stay. There were kitchen and bathroom amenities that made us comfortable throughout the week. James was responsive and helpful each time we communicated. Enough space to cook and hang together. We enjoyed our home away from home.

Family came to town for birthday

Last minute my husband’s family wanted to get together for my husband’s birthday so we all stayed at this unit and had a good time. The kitchen was the best part for us to all gather but it didn’t have all the utilities required for cooking. Overall we had a good time.

Bamboo

There’s a lot that needs to be corrected. Cracked and sunken driveway, no sidewalk into the home (just sporadically placed pavers), and the home was Dirty (dirty floors, molded bathroom caulking, chipped paint, dirty walls. We had to buy air wicks and cleaning supplies to keep the smell away. The home looked like do it yourselfers without the proper skillsets tried to put it together and maintain it. The bedding was clean, the appliances newer, and the location was good. I won’t rent another VRBO without having someone inspect it first.

Good property but five stars

We appreciated that the landlord allowed us to check in early. Like many ABNB properties, the inside is not quite as nice as the pictures. It’s barely four stars in my opinion. The outside is rough and so is the neighborhood, however that was relatively clear from the photos before we arrived. The appliances were new. Overall not a bad property but it needs work, particularly on the outside.

The Bamboo House

While the picture was accurate the property did not live up to its promise. The location was a bit scary and the exterior of the home was in nasty shape: Broken up driveway, sewer access pipes sticking up through the front yard and a yard full of weeds. While the interior was nicely appointed, painted and clean, it was very dated and in need of a refresh. Kitchen was redone but not the bathrooms or the bedrooms. I would NOT stay here again.

Flexible and Attentive

We pulled up to the house and a plumber was coming out of the property. This was a pretty inauspicious start to our journey! Turns out the home needed the entire sewer line replaced! James and his team worked overtime to get the repairs done quickly and without impacting our stay. 8 of us were staying in the home and were in town for a wedding. They scheduled portions of the repair around our schedule so we could all shower before the water to the home was cut off. This could have been a disaster push stay but James ENSURED that this wouldn’t happen. Amazing customer service and I would definitely book with him again.

Marginal neighborhood and cleaning problems

The interior of the property was pretty much as advertised. There were problems with the cleaning crew (too few towels for guests, dirty floors, moldy/stained tub and shower grout, no paper towels and toilet paper in short supply). There was a set mouse trap in a kitchen base cabinet that our 11 month old found and tried to pick up. The dishwasher was not screwed in and continually fell out when we tried to load it. The yard was just dirt and the exterior of the house is very gritty as is the street on which it is located. On the positive side, the property manager was responsive. He gave me access to their locked cleaning closet so we could get towels and had paper products and coat hangers ( of which there were none) delivered promptly. The location was convenient to the highway, Monument Ave and Grove where there are nice restaurants. The neighborhood is just still very much in a transitional phase. I would onlybrecommend this property to a family with an infant who is not mobile or to one with kids over 4. The metal bar stools are very tipsy and dangerous for a little one and the feeling that the home was dirty when we arrived and not suitable for a crawler was hard to get over.

So, so property… nothing to write home about!

I would suggest requesting photos of the exterior (both front and back) prior to choosing the property. We foolishly did not do this and were very disappointed when we arrived. The exterior is not maintained. Had we seen the outside of the property, we would not have booked here. We arrived at night and considered leaving but were concerned about receiving a refund and finding a new place that was animal friendly. The house served its purpose for us while in the area and chose to spend a limited amount of time there. There were towels, linens, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, cleaning supplies and fabric softener. Thankfully we brought laundry detergent bc there was none provided. Prior to our arrival, the property manager sent us a message letting us know that the cleaning team noticed that the creamers that were supplied had expired…. When we arrived, the creamers were still in a jar on the counter (expired, curdled, smelly and moldy)…. We informed the owner and he sent new ones over and asked us to dispose of the old ones. We chose not to use the coffee pots or coffee that was provided based on our concern for cleanliness. The house is dog friendly which was a plus for us since we were traveling with our 2 small dogs. Upon arrival, you can immediately tell the house is dog friendly based on the smell. I would not rent again and feel that this property is overpriced and not justly represented on VRBO.
