This was such a wonderful place to stay. Convenient to many restaurants: close to Ft.Jackson, comfortable bedding; beautiful decor; would go again if the occasion should arise.

An absolutely beautiful place in a central location
An absolutely beautiful place in a central location. We loved being downtown & just walking out the front door to reach pubs & sushi, with coffee shops & a dinners not far away. We're heavy sleepers so the night festivities didn't bother us one bit & earplugs are provided! But if one is a documented poor sleeper, or if one isn't able to climb stairs, those are the only reasons to not book this luxe spread.

Perfect location
As stated in the title, the apt. was located in the perfect location. It was adjacent to the venue where I was having an event, and I was able to check the progress on the set up easily because it was within walking distance. The place had ample room for me, my husband and a couple of out of town guests. Beautiful place..

We'll keep coming back
I originally chose the Friend House because of it's proximity to the Olde Town Civic Center, and was happy to see it available again in 2024. The place is clean and fresh with enough room for 4 of us to spread out. The area is great for me and the crew with restaurants for dinner and breakfast and brew pubs all within walking distance. Just be prepared for the climb. It's a lot of stairs especially after performing for 4 hours but worth it to not be in a hotel. Our host Regan is quick to respond and very helpful with our questions.

Historic renovation in Petersburg
The renovation of this apartment in a historic building is extremely well done. Be aware that there are several flights of stairs to climb to gain access to the apartment. Our only issue was that the weather at Christmas was unusually cold and the apartment was chilly, except upstairs in the master bedroom. We only stayed one night out of our booking because of a medical emergency so I can’t give a more complete review than these impressions.

Wedding weekend
We stayed here for a wedding in the area and loved every minute of it. Our 7 month old baby had plenty of space to move around. The apartment is decorated so cute and we loved the history behind it. Would definitely stay here again!

Enjoyable long weekend
We enjoyed our stay here while visiting our son stationed at Ft Lee. It was convenient to there. The house was well stocked and comfortable. The views were impressive. The natural light was fun. It’s a hike up the stairs but good for the heart. The loud music at night was only a small issue as I had my ear plugs and white noise. We found plenty of shops and restaurants just out our door.

Great for a weekend getaway!
The apartment was charming and had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. We were there on business however our nights were restful and the environment was comfortable. Regan and Mark were gracious hosts who made the check in/check out process smooth. They were helpful and answered all of my questions. I will definitely stay at the Friend House again if I travel back to Petersburg VA.

Charming property!
We had tickets to see a show in Richmond and availability for places to stay there were scarce. But Petersburg and this apartment were just perfect. The hosts were nice and very accommodating. Loved the historic location, and building. The apartment was charming, very comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed. Pack light so you can trek up the stairs with ease. I also recommend you bring silicone earplugs as they beat foam any day. With both of these things in mind, the views, the coziness, and the location are all worth your while! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The apartment was beautifully appointed…a great blend rustic and modern.
We rented this home for a mini - family reunion. It was perfect for our family. We especially loved that the home had toys, games and puzzles that kept the kiddos happy and busy on the rainy day. Another bonus was the many eateries and quaint shops all in walking distance. Perfect weekend getaway!

Very nicely done!
This apartment was fabulous overall! Beautiful hardwood floors, comfortable furniture and beds and perfectly decorated with original paintings throughout. Bathrooms are spacious and well done. Overall we were thrilled. Owners were very responsive. The stairs are no joke! Only downside was a bar down the street that plays loud bass until 2am on the weekends. I emailed the owners and they immediately responded. Apparently the bar has had multiple complaints, but refuse to turn it down. Otherwise, PERFECT!

Lovely place
We stayed over the weekend to get some work done uninterrupted by kids and dogs! Very productive weekend and the owner is right about stairs but worth the climb the place is so beautiful. We were disappointed the restaurant next door was closed but found a wonderful Italian restaurant a few blocks away, Maria’s. Lovely lovely place and would recommend to anyone. Perfect location to historic downtown. The owners were very responsive. Would stay again for sure!

Relaxing weekend getaway
Beautifully renovated apartment in a historic building a short walk to restaurants, cafes, and shops. Apartment was comfortable, quiet, and well equipped with everything we needed. Spacious master BR and two smaller BRs for the kids gave everyone ample room to stretch out, making a perfect base for a short weekend getaway. Owner was responsive and flexible. We would look forward to staying here again next time we’re in the area!

Birthday Getaway
I rented this property for my mother's birthday. My parents were blown away at the apartment. It was the perfect amount of space and was also conveniently located. They enjoyed not only the property but the sights and sounds outside. The decor is serene and not too overwhelming. It truly gives the feeling of being peacefully at home!
