Had a great weekend stay at Essence’s Richmond townhouse in October 2026! The two-story townhouse was exactly as described, with modern furnishings and decor, and bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean! As mentioned in the listing, this house is on a busy corner, so there is a bit of typical city noise/occasional sirens, but we chose this location based on how close it was to the attractions and restaurants we were there to visit, so it worked out great for us! Street parking was not always available directly in front of the house, but we were usually able to find a spot within a few cars away or the opposite side of the street from the property when coming and going. Essence was very welcoming and responsive when I had questions and communicating check-in/check-out instructions. If you’re looking for space to spread out (large living room/kitchen + 3 spacious 2nd-floor bedrooms) and close to downtown Richmond, then this is the place for you! Would stay again if returning to the area!

We had a wonderful stay! Essence was an incredible host - so friendly, accommodating, and extremely responsive throughout our visit. The Airbnb was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location for our family wedding festivities. Everything was within easy walking distance, and street parking was a breeze! We truly appreciated Essence’s hospitality and would absolutely recommend staying here!
