Disliked: Check-in, communication
While the property was as described and clean with an excellent location the host was very rude to my guests for whom I had booked the home . My guests had travelled from Europe for a three day wedding and during the stay the door to the house failed resulting in my guests being locked out . They were left on the side of the road for nearly 4 hours while the host refused to call a locksmith until forced to by Verb corporate management . My guests missed an entire event that I was hosting causing not only them but me huge stress. I cannot understand the refusal to help and to blame guests for a clearly faulty lock which took the locksmith 2 hours to fix. VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE .!!!

Historic lodgings in West Chester, PA - this newly renovated home was a very comfortable place to stay while we were in town for a family wedding. It has all the amenities needed plus it is located within walking distance to many good restaurants in the borough. We toured Valley Forge too which is close by. You can’t go wrong staying here. The owners did a great job with the renovations.

The location of this property was perfect - we could walk to eating and shopping in West Chester. We also appreciated the secluded feel of the back yard. As long as you are comfortable climbing stairs (it is a historic home that includes somewhat steep steps to the bedrooms), I would definitely recommend this home!
