Beware if you have cat allergies. While owner claims his cat is an “outdoor” pet the home interior - at least every public apace and the single room - are permeated with cat dander. If this is at all a health issue avoid this property. For persons with moderate or severe allergic responses to dander it poses a serious health problem.
Unique and fun place to stay in Richmond. Especially nice if you are traveling with folks that really love pinball. Clean, accommodating, quiet neighborhood. Game play is included in the price of your stay, there must have been 25 machines.
Ive never experienced a bnb quite like Pinball Pete's. Nostalgic pinball machines everywhere set on free play. Got the pleasure to meet the man himself. Great guy. The house was extremely clean as well as free snacks and in a good neighborhood. Highly recommend this establishment. 10 stars if i could.
A great house, and a great host. If you love pinball and classic gaming consoles, you may find it difficult to work up the motivation to leave. The old style pop machine full of local craft beers was a nice touch, too, and is the only machine in the house that requires quarters.
