"My family and I really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again. Great neighborhood, very walkable, and the place itself was lovely. What really made it stand out to us as a family with young children was all the amenities available for kids like the stair gate, high chair, pack and play, books, etc. it really saved us a ton of packing. Game room in the basement was a hit with my husband and daughter. Hosts were very responsive and responded to all questions and concerns immediately, and also reached out multiple times throughout the stay to make sure we were doing OK. Highly recommend for families." - Jayanti

The property was clean and as expected from the description. It was in a nice neighborhood, super comfortable and parking was easy to find on street. Great stay and hosts were easy and quick to communicate with. 10/10 would recommend!
Location was great! Close to all of the main attractions. Parking on the street was not hard to find. There was lots of space, large kitchen and comfortable beds. We had some issues with the fire alarms, but this was quickly addressed by hosts. There was excellent communication throughout our stay.
The house was in a great location. The hosts were avaible whenever I had questions and even mades sure the sidewalk and steps were salted and sholved when a snow storm hit. We would definaetly stay here again when we return to the area!

Hi Carol. Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the great location and found communication easy and responsive throughout your stay. We’re also happy we could help keep things safe and comfortable during the snowstorm. We’d love to host you again when you’re back in the area!
This property was very clean, owners were easy to communicate with. Great location in Philly, walkable to lots of restaurants and not too far from the downtown touristy stuff to do.

Location for radiation treatment at Perelman Advanced Medical center
I stayed here for the next 2 treatments at the Perelman center. The location was absolutely perfect. There were a ton of fantastic restaurants close by within walking distance and the drive to the center was only 18 minutes. I highly recommend staying here rather than a hotel close to the center.

Thanks, Stephanie! Glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry about the parking! Typically parking spots are available and time restricted. But some blocks are not. Thanks again!
We were happy to experience city living in Philly. Mostly used house for downtime… slept 5 adults comfortablely but we did use a borrowed blow up bed. Enough space in living room to all gather to watch tv. Enjoyed walking to restaurants in neighborhood. Will definitely stay again!

Our kids loved the basement with the games. The house was very spacious and met our needs for a family of five. I'm glad that they had a high chair and pack and play available for use. The owners were really responsive to questions we had.
