Old Town is one of my favorite spots in the DC area to stretch my legs so it’s fitting that I found another option I think you’ll love.

The exposed brick is STUNNING and this loft features a private street level entrance to help minimize contact.

Richmond, Virginia features over 100 murals, large farmers markets, and tons of history. And let me just say…I found the DREAMIEST AirBNBs here that have me ready to make the drive down to Virginia’s state capital.
The Luxury Loft
I actually pinned a couple of the images from this Richmond AirBNB to my Home board on Pinterest because I love it that much. The board and batten wall down the hallway is gorgeous and I love how much natural light this space has thanks to the windows. This rental is above a salon and has been completely renovated. When you stay here, you’ll receive a parking pass to a lot across the street.

My other choice for Richmond is also very modern feeling and can host up to 4 guests. You’ll be able to take advantage of a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and two large HD TVs while staying at this AirBNB. As a bonus you’re a block away from a local bakery and deli.
The bedroom is decorated perfectly; really crushing on the wall art over the bed.

Baltimore is home to the National Aquarium, Inner Harbor, Fort McHenry (best known as the birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner), and known as Charm City. Personal favorite activities for me are going to Camden Yards for an Orioles game — be sure to order a crab cake!, exploring the aquarium, and taking a walk in Fells Point.
