5 day stay in Swarthmore

We had a great time in the apartment. Everything was in line with expectation. Only thing that could be improved is to provide a clear recommendation where to park to avoid parking tickets.

We loved this apartment. Very clean, great location and had everything we needed. Only downfall is that there is limited parking overnight and had to walk a few blocks. No trouble during the day though.

This apartment was double booked. We had nowhere to stay.

We never got into this property. This review is for the host who was supremely unhelpful in finding us an alternate location. We arrived in the area and sat in front of an alternate VRBO that my son found for us for 90 minutes in the cold, until he finally finished transferring the reservation. The host (Russ) had communicated with us sporadically throughout the day with an amazing lack of urgency. Ultimately, we ended up in an entirely different location, miles away from where we wanted to be. A full or partial refund was promised, but that has not materialized.

Comfortable stay.

It was a comfortable stay and we enjoyed the area with cafés and restaurants. The TV monitor did not work well and the door knobs were not secure in place. Please have them replaced because my daughter door closed and she was not able to get out of the room until someone open the door knob. This would be not acceptable in case of an emergency evacuation plan.

Strange stay…

The location is great! Parking-as noted in other reviews, it’s not great. Yes it’s a small town but no “spot” was reserved for us. We arrived before the weekend started so the “free” parking was by permit only and no permit was provided by Russ as he said there would be one. Cleanliness- the space looked surface level clean but didn’t feel deep cleaned. There were random peoples loofas in the shower, rust discoloration on the shower curtain, and hair left over in the shower drain. The bathroom handtowel had something crusty on it. Heat/AC-Although there were Window AC units throughout, on 90+ degree days, they just didn’t cut it leaving the space during the day time heat, incredibly warm and uncomfortable. The King Size bedroom never cooled off due to the window leaking heat in from the outside. Esthetics: the pictures appear for this space to be bright and airy, however, it’s very dark in side, but maybe that’s just the style that the host prefers. There is also random dead plants throughout. Communication with host was incredibly challenging, often times delayed. We didn’t receive checkin info before arriving nor check out info after leaving. Positives was Russ’s handy man Adam! Very prompt. Safety within the space was not great. The microwave tripped a breaker, a knob was removed on a bedroom door, the back door wouldn’t open, the primary bathroom door lock was broke. Overall-it was a place to lay our heads but wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Property is nice, communication with owner was odd

The location is great, the property is as advertised and has a multitude of bedrooms which is great. The kitchen and facilities are fine given the price point. So why am I deducting stars? While initial communication with the property manager was fine the communication during and after our stay was, weird. I didn't mind that we saw and reported a mouse during our stay, and the property manager said they would take care of it after we left, but the post-script to our check-out was bizarre. We pride ourselves on being excellent guests and we always budget time to clean up after ourselves. When we left the kitchen was cleaned (including cleaning some pots and pans that were extremely dirty, someone had clearly burned pizza on one, when we arrived) all the bedrooms and common rooms had been put back to order, and while I'm sure they had to to do some light cleanup the apartment was not that different from when we arrived. Then we got a message saying that the cleaners found the place a total mess, had to work extra hours to cleanup, and they had to throw away pans that were "ruined". These allegations were frankly absurd. The property manager told us he would not be charging us an additional $80 as we had been "good guests", but the accusations and unacted upon threat of charges left a bad taste in all our mouths. The consensus of our group was that he was trying to manipulate us into leaving a better review by seeming magnanimous, which obviously backfired. The property itself is fine, but make sure to document and take photos when entering and before leaving the apartment lest you too are accused.

Great location and the space was larger than I expected with a second floor with two beds room and a bathroom. Perfect for the eight of us. I really like the low key no frills space. Right in town and very accessible. I would stay there again.

Convenient, enjoyable property, but with a quirk

We stayed here for four days during an athletic event we were competing in, in nearby Malvern. The location of this property made things very convenient, with access to all major stores and markets only a few minutes away by car, as well as highway access to get to the event venue. In town, the convenience of a few local eateries and the bar made for additional foot travel activities in the evening. One small hitch was that we arrived at the tail end of a heat wave; a previous reviewer mentioned the lack of Air Conditioning in the one room with the King bed, and it was unfortunately still a significant issue. I reached out to Russell quickly and by the time we discussed the idea of getting a portable AC unit installed, the stores were already closed for the evening. We agreed that a unit should be installed the next day, and after suffering a thoroughly uncomfortable evening of sleep, by the time we arrived back at the property around 5pm, the brand new unit was working hard to cool the room. This single change made the stay drastically more pleasant; hopefully our suffering the one night ensures all future guests in that room are comfortable going forward. The one quirk we had with the property, is not the owners fault directly; the parking situation in this town is pretty atrocious. In trying to keep a 'small town' feeling, they pretty much ban all overnight parking nearby. This creates a HUGE problem with any larger groups that stay here. (we ended up having five vehicles in our group) The property includes a single parking permit for guests but it doesn't apply to parking adjacent to the property. We ended up having to talk directly with the local PD to explain our situation, and they gave us permission to park our cars overnight on a nearby street within two minutes of walking distance. (even though that area is posted as a 4 hour max and no overnight) I don't know if this is a typical thing for them to grant, or if they made an exception for us, but keep this parking complication in mind if you will have multiple vehicles. (Something I would think is common for a house that can accommodate up to ten guests) All in all, I'd give this property a 4.5 stars if I had the option. The location is really great, and once the AC unit issue was resolved, we experienced an excellent and memorable trip. If the town would get the parking nonsense sorted out, I think the local commerce could really do well and grow.

Family Fun

We had a fabulous time visiting our family in Swarthmore! The property is clean, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen looked well equipped, but there were many delicious and fun dining options that we didn’t use it. The location is awesome. Nestled in the quaint town center and close to everywhere we wanted to visit. The host reached out to us prior to our trip and was responsive to our questions. We look forward to staying at this property again.

Great stay with some minor issues

My bridesmaids and I stayed at Russels property the night before my wedding and got ready there in the morning. The home is beautiful and the location offers everything we needed for our short stay. There are bars, restaurants, and a Dunkin Donuts right on the block of the property. We ordered pizza from across the street and it was delicious! There were air conditioners in almost every room except one. Since we stayed in mid-July, the lack of AC in one bedroom was frustrating. Two of my bridesmaids stayed in that room and, when they turned on the fan provided, they blew a fuse. After figuring out where the breaker box was, we fixed the issue. I reached out to Russel to let him know if the issue and never heard back. Would have liked more consistent communication since this could have turned into a bigger problem than it was. Overall, we had a great time and the home was beautiful.

Great location, excellent host

This property worked well for my family when we had to stay one night for a funeral in nearby Media. The location was great - very short walking distance to restaurants for breakfast and dinner and not far from Media at all. The property had more than enough space for our group of 6 adults. Russell responded to all of my questions prior to the trip and really communicated well.
