Walk to anything on Swarthmore campus

Excellent location!!! Especially if visiting Swarthmore for the weekend. Right between Hobbs (great local coffee hang out) and the Coop (great place to grab snacks or lunch - with leftovers in your fridge!). Unit is clean and functional. Russell was great - smoke alarm was beeping when we arrived and he stopped by with a variety of batteries and took care of it quickly - so thankful!

Horrible property, buyer beware

Upon arrival there was a loud pickup truck in the very small parking lot, with a running engine and generator for a food trailer supplying the local brewery. Upon entrance to the property it became clear that it was far smaller than depicted by photos, hence “cozy” description. There was mouse feces on the threadbare linens on the bed which was covered by a shaggy coverlet. The bathroom was so small you could barely stand in it. There were absolutely disgusting old condiments in the refrigerator and ancient honey in the cabinets from which a roach scuttled out! The couch had crumbs under the cushions. Dirt under the baseboard heaters, dirt on the walls…Not knowing I had to take pictures to document what I saw, I vacated the premises with my kids and tried to call Russ, who did not answer the phone. Emailed via vrbo, and after some delay was told the food truck would be gone by 8, which was untrue as we were sitting in my vehicle at 820 and food truck still there. Then owner claimed it would be gone at 9pm. Then he told me his cleaner said the place was clean. After extensive emailing he thought that he could send his maintenance guy to check what I found at 10 pm! We did not stay here either night as it was utterly disgusting. I had to find and pay for a hotel for the weekend, and was put on hold by vrbo for 75 minutes in order to attempt to get a refund, which was denied.

Perfect for our needs

I know the area and this spot was perfect for our needs. I also like the free parking right outside the unit. Walking distance to Swathmore and other local spots.

Great Location!

Our stay was wonderful & I would definitely use WorkStudy Suites again! Russ was helpful and responded timely. Everything is conveniently located in a cute town across from the college. The unit was extremely clean and easy checkin process. Dedicated parking spot right out front is a bonus. Highly recommended!

Horrible experience in this dingy VRBO unit

Arrived 1030pm but left next morning. RENTER BEWARE! Upon entering, a dozen large flies encircled us. Spent half hour killing them. The photo shopped pics are deceiving. Place is rundown/dingy. Carpet in bedroom was so disgusting family refused to walk on it barefoot (we have pics). A/C in bedroom is window unit and is noisy as heck. It had hard time cooling down apartment. Living area only had a standing fan. Upon opening pullout couch, dirt & crumbs dropped out. The owner sent pics of what he told us were taken by his cleaners to prove unit was clean. They were clearly professional photos not taken after the crew prepped the space as many items in the pics were not even in unit. Contacted owner next morning to tell him we vacated the unit. He told us if we had contacted him within 4 hours of arrival we could have had refund. “You cannot stay for free then request refund”, he said. “Would have had you depart that night if you were unhappy with listing.". (So, we are to call guy at midnight & try to find another place to stay at that hour)? We offered to pay for night stayed there but requested refund for remaining nights; he refused. To add insult to injury, he told us there were no flies in the unit (so we are lying?) and TV worked despite us following his jerry rigged instructions. We did a little research and noticed owner has at least 5 rental units in area. The reviews were underwhelming. Many folks had issues dealing with this money-grubbing guy.
