The property was nice overall. It was walkable and quiet neighborhood. Only downfall is furniture downstairs did not allow us to hang because the love seat seemed to be for a kid and the couch was not comfortable to relax.

Judith thank you for taking the time to provide a review following your group’s stay at The Prime. Our goal is provide our guests with an above beyond stay with a deliberate personal touch and a vibe of feeling right at home. That is an interesting perspective about the furniture. Our furniture choices are part of our decor/home. And honestly never received any complaints/disapproval. The main floor has an open layout that provides seating for 14 (if “hang” time was needed for your group of 8) Even though we have never received comments regarding our furniture in a disappointing fashion. We would have no problem if you/your group moved the first level seating around to accommodate your specific needs during your stay. Thanks again & Best regards

Philly friendly

The house is in a great location and parking is easy on weekends. Many amenities provided. Third floor stairs are very steep and not ideal for small children and elderly. Also whole house is nicely decorated, but not child friendly with many glass tables and knickknacks throughout property. There are many safety options provided like outlet covers, a stair gate, and pack and play. Overall would stay there again.

Thank you for your comments about The Prime. Our focus group is EVERYONE which includes singles, couples, locals, foreigners, children, seniors, pets and definitely families. Accommodating such a broad group sets us apart, we are aware that not all listings provide this range. Regardless, we pride ourselves in our attention to detail. And since we cannot rent to children our decor/aesthetic in our home is primarily for adults and for our comfort as well. Again, thank you for your stay/input and take care.

My friends and I stayed for 1 night. Very nice area, nice place- as pictured and clean. Small issue with the lights going out in the bathroom but the owner was willing to send someone to fix it right away. We chose not to because we were out until late. I would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional host and property; would deserve a 6th star!

It is conveniently located in a very nice neighborhood, close to grocery stores, and surrounded by excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries (Isgro!). The house was super clean and decorated with a lot of taste. Never too much, but enough to make it pop. It is also really nice to be that central in the city while still having a little bit of outdoor space on the patio and the rooftop. Everything worked as expected; the house was well-equipped, and BP gave it a modern touch with art and vibrant furniture. But what sets this Vrbo apart is the host. BP provided everything we could ever have needed and then some more. In particular, we found everything we needed for our 1-year-old to be safe (bathtub, high chair, gate, etc), our dog to be happy, and our 7-year-old to be entertained. She really went above and beyond in terms of supplies and accessories to make our stay a breeze. And on top of that, communication with BP was super easy. During our exchange, we mentioned we were visiting Philly because of an appointment at the Children's Hospital for our youngest, and not only did BP leave some toys for the kids for us to find upon our arrival, but she also shared some very kind and thoughtful words in her messages. BP is a wonderful host, not because she wants 5-star reviews but because this is who she is. That transpires in the care provided to the house, making it such a welcoming place for its guests.
