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.

Interaction with guests
My staff and I work in the building. We are onsite weekly Tuesday - Saturday, 11am - 6pm and are here to assist you. Our interaction can occur as often or as little as you prefer. Our tenants like knowing we are nearby in the event they need us. We also have all the recommendations you might need for a great place to eat or live music venue to visit. Our music business, Metro Sound, is one of the first businesses to venture back downtown over 32 years ago when all the other businesses had left for the suburbs. We are proud to call downtown RVA our home!

We have tenants who require a clean air facility. A $500 fine will be imposed on any tenant who is caught smoking in the facility. We provide a new, safe, secure and beautiful space in which to live.

My second stay with Mark thorough VRBO; again, it was a great stay. Amenities were great, location is stellar. Mark and his time went above and beyond. Will stay again if ever back in Richmond!
This is truly located in the âHeartâ of the Arts District in RVA. The condo is a comfortable and clean space with huge windows to watch the city move below. We were able to walk to everything we had planned therefore we used the daily parking behind the building for a minimal cost. We enjoyed staying in this little oasis in the middle of the city!
We have been very excited for this stay, the rooms were immaculate, and everything was very clear and easy! The host was super nice, and very easy to communicate with, and it was in a location that made it very easy to walk around and get to cute shops, we will absolutely be back again!
We chose to stay in this location hoping to walk around town. However we did not feel safe in doing so. The parking situation was not ideal as we struggled particularly on the weekends. The Manager Tommy was very nice
Property was just as described. Management was very responsive to questions and quick to answer any concerns, which there was only one. Perfect location within walking distance to many great restaurants, theaters and shopping spots. We will definitely stay again when we return to Richmond.
Pictures were accurate. Area was disappointed and had to pay for parking every 11 hours which was very annoying. Bathroom mirror was very dirty thank goodness i had cleaning products had to clean it 3 times,they must of used same rag to clean the stove i had to do the something. There were no garage bags
Sorry but i was not happy but i paid in full so i stayed my full 3 days.
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.
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.
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!
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.
This was my third time staying in one of Mr. Szafranskiâs 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 couldnât 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 wasnât 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 didnât include any note of acknowledgment of my inconvenience. Even though the issue was out Mr. Szafranskiâs 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 didnât need to work early that day but Heaven help me if I had a ventilator or respirator that needed electricity. Again, just a simple âalthough this was out of our control, we are sorry for the inconvenienceâ 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 âhurtsâ them) because the unit was so comfortable and served my purposes. Donât know if I will stay again because I am not sure my business is appreciated but for other travelers considering Mr. Szafranskiâs units, they are as pictured/described and are quite comfortable.
I really loved this place! Clean and neat and had everything I needed. The hosts were very helpful. I recommend this place highly! Lots of great places to eat in the area and an easy walk to local stores, museums and beautiful neighborhoods...fall colors were amazing.
Thank you for 3 wonderful days!
