Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Everything was clean, crisp and bright. Very easy street parking. Super convenient to Chestnut Hill and Wyndmoor.
This house was great for our large group. It had everything we needed and was very clean. The communication with the host and their instructions was very good. We would definitely stay here again!
Great stay! The host communicated efficiently and replied quickly when we had questions during our stay. There were plenty of extra towels and blankets. The only issue we had, which wasn't with the actual property itself, was a dog on one of the neighbor's back porch that barks all day long. So, if you plan to sleep in, be prepared to hear the neighbors barking dog.
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It was very clean with nice amenities close to many cool things in Philly. The host was very responsive with good communication. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your review! Would you mind elaborating a bit more as to why we weren't a 5 star stay? From our perspective, we agreed to let you in the property early, had it ready for the furry pals, and was available to let you back into the property when you left your engagement ring. If there was something else that made the stay less than a 5 star, please inform us so that we can make the adjustments.
This is the second time we have stayed at this house. Oh my goodness it was a wonderful experience once again. The next time we are in Philadelphia we will definitely book this house again
This place was amazing. Very clean and comfortable. Snow storm came the night before and that day. Walkways and driveway were cleared when we got there. I would definitely stay again.
Had a regional event and needed a place that could comfortably sleep 10. The house was more than accomidating and updated. The host was very responsvie and accommodating all of our needs. Will definitely book again win in Philly.
Eight of us travelled to Philadelphia to celebrate a family birthday. We stayed in this lovely home for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The home was beautifully decorated and maintained, spotless, and included many nice amenities. Host was very helpful and accommodating. The home had one parking spot, but we had no difficulty finding street parking for additional cars. It was easy for us to get from this location to many neighboring towns in the Philadelphia area. We would definitely consider returning to this home in the future.
Beautiful house just as described and pictures are accurate. The house was fully stocked with everything you could think of. We did not have any infants but there is everything for them as well.
We had two families and 2 vehicles. Parking was not an issue. 1 space in back and lots of room in front. House is in a quiet neighborhood but of course it is in Philadelphia, there is always going to be noise and ruckus. We did have our dog and needed to walk him . We felt safe. The back deck was a nice bonus. In 2 days we made friends with the neighbors. The alley behind the house was pretty quiet and safe. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Nancy for your kind review. It was pleasure hosting your group and you are welcome back any time.
The home provided us all the amenities we needed for our visit. It was modern, clean, and updated. There was plenty of street parking. There was ample space for 9 adults and 3 small children. The neighborhood was a little dirty but what can one expect from an urban setting? The H mart with a great restaurant within a 5-minute drive was an unexpected bonus.
The owner was amazing. He was extremely pleasant, very reachable, responded quickly, and went over the top to provide the best service. We accidentally left 2 coats at the house when we departed. He went out of his way to send them to us by USPS. I would give him 6 out of 5 stars for a rating if I could.
Thank you for a pleasant experience!!!
Will definitely stay here again if we are ever in the Philadelphia area.
This property is very beautiful. I think it’s even more beautiful in person than the pictures online. I also think it was a lil too pricey paying over 1k for 2night. Would have given a 5 start if the owners had not walked in on us at 10:30am asking us to leave as we were to check out at 10am but overslept. They even when as far as throwing our personal things around, slamming doors and asked us to put all our things out the door while we waiting for our ride. I know we shouldn’t check out late but being a service business owner myself, I would have handled this differently even if I mean me talking to the client for extra payment due to late checkouts. But bashing in and throwing stuffs around was out of pocket and wouldn’t be recommending them or returning again.
