I stayed in Jay's place for 3 days at the end of June while visiting my daughter who lives a short walk from the property. Everything about the rental was perfect. The bedroom is a little on the small side but it is more than adequate for one or two guests. The bed is roomy and comfortable. There is a portable air-conditioner unit in the room which was definitely effective on what was by then the hottest day of the year. The bathroom is excellent with modern fittings and a rain shower head over the bath. Water pressure and temperature were great. Basic provisions (tea, coffee, cereal, milk) were supplied although my rather busy itinerary precluded their use for me. Everything in the property was spotlessly clean and it was well equipped. The building and apartment are well secured. Downtown Richmond and the local car park (with overnight parking) are both just a few minutes walk away.
Communication with Jay was excellent. I was met by Allan when I arrived but only really had time to chat with both of them as I was checking out. They are interesting and personable hosts but, as my experience proved, are quite happy to leave their guests to their own devices if desired.
I would definitely recommend this property and will seriously consider returning to it if I am staying in the Richmond area again.
