Overall great stay! Though a few cosmetic updates are needed in bathroom, we felt the space was just what we needed, located in a nice area and very close to subway and some good restaurants. We just wished we could have known sooner about our request to check in earlier, as we didn't find out until about an hour or so before it was time. Would stay again!

Thank you for staying with us. We're so glad you enjoyed the location and found the home to be a great fit for your stay. We also appreciate your feedback. As noted in our listing under the house rules, standard check-in begins at 4:00 PM. Early check-in is an optional service, subject to availability, and may incur an hourly fee, as outlined in our guest portal. Because availability depends on our cleaning schedule and the home being fully prepared, we're only able to confirm early check-in once we receive an update from our local team. We understand the importance of planning ahead and appreciate your patience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We'd be delighted to welcome you back for another stay.

Great location.

Walking distance to just about everything Philly has to offer, Rittenhouse Square, Reading Terminal Market, several great restaurants and local coffee shops. Parking across the street made checking in and out very easy. Clean and well kept, would definitely stay here again.

What we needed

The overall place was great. It had more than what we needed. It was clean and quiet. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because there were some Tarro cards on the table which was a little scary.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very glad to hear the space was clean, quiet, and offered everything you needed during your stay. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the tarot cards. They’re included as part of the property’s curated décor and local artistic theme, but we completely understand that they may not appeal to everyone. Your perspective is helpful, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue refining the guest experience. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Location was perfect for what I needed. Bring your own TP. The windows were difficult to lock, I could not do it. I let the owner know and someone came to lock them but not easy to lock/unlock. 2nd floor so did not feel unsafe but should be fixed. My only other suggestion would be to get a slide or chain lock as it wasn’t clear if the door was locked or not after being shut. Would have made me feel better as a woman traveling alone.

Great location but needs some fixes

The location is phenomenal. We were there for a show and it was just around the corner. There were a few issues which kept me from giving a 5, but if they are fixed, I could easily rate this a five. The biggest concern was the fact that the street door was never locked which we didn’t see as a big deal until I realized, as we were leaving, that pushing on our unit’s locked door also opened it, no key code needed. The mini fridge had an unpleasant odor which kept us from using it. I did put a bottled drink into the fridge and within 1/2 hour, the bottle smelled like the fridge. My wife could not stop talking about how comfortable the bed was.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the bed exceptionally comfortable—that’s wonderful to know. We appreciate you bringing the door and mini-fridge issues to our attention. The street-level door is designed to remain unlocked during certain hours for guest access, but your note about the unit door not securing properly is something we take seriously. Our maintenance team has already been notified to ensure the lock is functioning as intended. Regarding the mini fridge, that is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver. We will be deep-cleaning and inspecting the unit to prevent any recurring odor issues. Your comments are extremely helpful as we continue improving the guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the five-star stay you were looking for.
