Good luck. When I first moved to Richmond in 2006, I needed a similar arrangement for six weeks, and luckily ended up being offered a spare bedroom in a house in Church Hill.

I think the homeowner saw my post on Craigslist about it, did a quick Google search to make sure I wasn't sketchy, and then the first time we met was at a dinner party he threw so he could get a bunch of different people's impressions of me at once.

Hoping you get lucky like I did.
