"Your three properties were the perfect base for my brother's wedding and so well-located. Everyone in my family kept commenting on the quality and comfort. It was nice to have homely accommodation while away especially during such a busy week".

"We were referred to Larkfield Apartments through the Richmond American International University website.
The rates were comparible if not better than local hotels considering the amenities and proximity to public transportation.
Arthur was very responsive and accommodating to our specific needs. We loved that the bus stop and Richmond train station were just a short walk from the apartment.
We had all the comforts of home, too: WiFi, kitchen, washer/dryer, etc.
We were offered a bigger apartment on the lower level but honestly our family of four was comfortable in the Studio Apartment.
There was more than enough space for us in this quaint and cozy space.
The pillows and mattresses were comfortable and the linen and towels were fresh and clean.
(I would recommend "fluffing" the towels in the dryer for a short time.) I was very grateful to be able to cook meals for my family everyday.
Thank you for providing the basic pots/pans and utensils.
All in all I know our family will choose to stay at Larkfield Apartments (Studio) again the next time we come to Richmond. Many thanks!! Brian and Therese".

"(5/5). Arthur's place was perfect for our stay in Richmond, a great size apartment for the two of us and so close to everything - the train/underground; pubs and restaurants; grocery stores and Kew gardens... The apartment had everything we needed.
Thanks Arthur".

"Amazing Flat Rental (5/5). Flat was clean, modern, and provided all we needed for our stay in Richmond. We had choice of cooking in the flat or enjoying nearby restaurants, and we did both. We utilized both bus and rail for our adventures around London. Arthur was tremendous in helping us move in".

"Great Location in Richmond (4/5 Rating). This spacious first floor apartment was in a quiet street yet very close to Richmond Station and shops. Ideal for transport on the train and underground to London, Kew Gardens, Wimbledon for example. The shops and services at Richmond were a short walk away. The apartment had good facilities including Wi-Fi, a well equipped kitchen and was warm and sunny".

Walked to the Orange Tree Theatre for an excellent evening's entertainment. Only the squeaky floor boards in front of the bedrooms need fixing. Thanks again."
