3000sf maison de 5 chambres dans la banlieue nord de Richmond

Love to see you back again next year. Your group of college students were really lovely -- reminding me of my youthful times. You will see a better house - more cosmetics detailing. Thanks!

Thank you! It's a great colonial style brick house and it has so much potential for upgrading. You master level volleyball guys kept the house cleaner :). I still wonder how you can fit my regular size beds with you guys' mighty height!

Thank you Kelly for your praise which shows that there are indeed decent people out there.

I don’t think you memorized well or understand what my note reads. There is a vent on the bathroom floor, if water is brought out from the shower stall, water goes down directly to downstairs through the vent. What maintenance are you suggesting here? Do you even understand what this vent is for? If I cover this vent, this bathroom will not have HVAC airflow anymore. Also, whether there are bugs roaches or not, I always buy roaches baits for all my rental properties because most renters don’t care and leave the floor with food droppings. If the cleaning is not done immediately, bugs and roaches and ants have a great sense of smell and will find their way into the house. The duct tape was put there to avoid clothes be scratched against the aluminum strip. Your group destroyed my vinyl kitchen floor by putting down a hot pan. Your group was not honest because you didn’t tell me. When people damage other people’s properties while renting, they usually keep it quiet hoping they can get away, Luckily my cleaning crew spotted the burned mark on the day you left. More luckily you bought the damage protection insurance so I can file a claim. Still it is a headache now to rip the entire kitchen floor to have it replaced. Another project in my already hectic schedule! I also found a cracked ceiling light glass dish cover, I guess your group tried to replace a light bulb but accidentally cracked the dish cover. Since I bought a new cover for only $7., I did not inform you of this damage. It is people like your group that contributes to the constant minor damages that we can not catch up with!

Gina was a responsible guest and respectful. Love to host her next time!

Thanks! I was so surprised when you said your group stayed in my other houses in the past two years under different booking names. And I was so happy to see familiar faces when your group arrived. I will see you next year!

Thank you Matt! I thought you would either write a grudge review or like most people who enjoy to use social media to attack anyone or anything that goes public just because they can have a feeling of winning/justification by doing so. Because of the cleaning worker issue while I was out of town, I did not expect you to write a good review anyway LOL. You actually brought your own linens and enjoyed the stay. Later the cleaning worker explained to me she fainted and went to E.R. so she did not finish the house. You made me smile, thanks!

I listed 5 bedrooms but you counted 6 bedrooms including the living room with a day bed. Again, let me repeat my listing title: 5 bedroom house in North of Richmond! 3 bedrooms upstairs, 2 bedrooms downstairs, each floor has 1 living room. The downstairs has a queen bed bedroom and a dorm room which has 2 bunkers, which accommodate teenagers. You never mentioned about showers when you called me twice after check-in. 1 shower faucet was installed 8 months ago for $800. This fancy faucet is tricky and it takes a smart person a moment to figure out how to use it. 2 regular shower faucets were installed two years ago. So I do not know why you think they do not work. Upon arrival you didn't see there was a fourth bedroom downstairs so you called me to demand that I came to meet you immediately and accused me lying about my listing. The downstairs living room is never listed as a bedroom but you thought it was a bedroom. Then you called me again because you said the oven was dirty. I appreciate that you cleaned out the ashes because the previous group didn't clean out the ashes. I did mention in the house rule that users should clean out the grill. Upon departure, you mentioned to me that you had a good stay. And 30 days later you reviewed as not a good stay for you. I am so sorry that our 7 hour cleaning brought you a tough life here in Richmond stay. Hope you come back next time!

Dear Jose, thanks for informing me that you did not write this review and someone else in your group did it. I feel so sorry that your crew member felt that way -- I informed you in advance that I bought 2 new sofa futons and 1 day bed because this was the first time I had over 18 people in my house. Perhaps that person has different standards than most guests who stayed in my house. It's tough to please everyone but I did wonder if you as the only booking contact online here ever briefed your relatives beforehand of the property rules. When house rules are ignored, your large group as a whole brought a chaotic experience of your own to the environment, such as neglecting the garbage collection schedule. I also gifted your daughter a pair of fresh water pearl earrings from my China trip to show my appreciation. The thermostat is mentioned in the rental agreement which you failed to inform your relatives. I greeted your first batch of relatives when I was still cleaning the house, I let them in because they were standing outside in a hot summer. I told an adult person where to retrieve the key to the thermostat and also consulted with you if 72 degrees was OK. I even told that person a previous group turned the temperature to 40 degrees in a hot summer and thus busted the entire unit last summer! I resealed the shower room floor and asked you to test it if there was water leakage to downstairs, you said no. If you own a property you know there is always repair here and there to prevent large repair later on. You also told me that if you tucked in the curtain, the water shall not be leaking to downstairs. I cleaned the mold of a shower curtain but failed to see a mold spot on the reverse side, I have to compliment that person got sharp eyes. I don't see any poison ivy--- you were advised not to use my yard for letting your kids loose because my listing mentions that I am renting the house, not the yard. I specifically mentioned this again in my previous email. As per the property rules, you were supposed to pull the garbage can to the curbside for collection but you left me tons of garbage and I had to take a few of them in my sedan trunk and dumped them in the county's waste center. And a few of them to my own house garbage can. I didn't complain to you. Everyday I sent you a text to find if anything was okay, you replied okay. I even paid for your damage insurance premium...We agree that this person is not welcome to use our property in the future.

Thanks for your comments as I had to ask my past guests to catch up with reviews because I have realized that the website places listings based on reviews. Hope you will visit Richmond again because the Richmond Raceway Complex always has car racing events.

A large group like yours - you left a clean house. A partial refund of the cleaning fee is my appreciation for your respectful manners. Thank you!
