Very communicative. The TV was a little higher than I thought but outside of that I would definitely book again.

It’s worth the price
It was mostly a good stay. I came to town for a conference and this was only a couple miles from the conference venue and much cheaper than staying downtown. The pros: free WiFi, streaming available on the tv, towels and soap provided, plenty of space. The cons: you have to push really hard on the smart lock buttons or you’ll keep putting the code in over and over without it opening and it’s noisy. The walls were thin so I could hear the people in the next unit on the phone very early in the morning and I could hear their kid making noise when I wanted to be asleep.

2/10 Poor

Called the property owner several times for questions but did not pick up. Neighborhood seems unsafe. There are two rooms first floor and second floor. I booked one in second floor. There was zero sound proof. A guy was on a phone call in first floor and I could hear everything from the bathroom second floor. I left the place and booked different hotel.

The neighborhood is a little rough around the edges and I wouldn't recommend walking at night, but the apartment itself was cute and clean. The host was also very gracious and available whenever I needed them. 🙂

6/10 Good

This “gem” has a very eerie feeling to it. Needs to be priced lower in my opinion. If I could compare to a hotel it would definitely be Motel 6. Good for quick come and go.. Hard uncomfortable bed, Flat pillows, dirty backyard and overgrown trees scratching on the kitchen window (which was scary at night), creepy neighbors, and you can hear everything that’s going on in the apartment upstairs. Also there’s mold on the wall near the bathroom and the decor (if that’s what you call it) gives consignment, left over, thrown together. I don’t mean to be harsh but I was very dissatisfied.This is not a gem but strictly a place to sleep. As the guest If I could give a recommendation to the property owner it would be to put more effort, and thoughtfulness into your property. Make it comfortable simple things like a nice matching bed set and pillows. Proper wash clothes and towels. Not hard dish rags and paper thin bathtowels.

I do not know Philly. We were there for a concert. The neighborhood was scary wouldn’t walk around it in daylight. Room needs a lot of work. Broken tilt in bathroom. Do not recommend this place. Just looks like a ghetto studio apartment. Mattress was like a board and the pillows were nonexistent

It was scary to be there. Nothing around no warning in how dangerous it is to walk around that area at night or in general. Sat in the porch and someone was watching. The guy who rented the other room said the same thing

Great space for 1-2 people. Walls are a bit thin and can hear everything in the room next door. I do wish there was a coffee pot. Would have given 5’s across the board if there was. Overall nice place. I’d stay again. If there is a coffee pot.

Door code was not set up as promised when we got there. Took some back and forth messaging with the host to get inside. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Outlet by the bed did not work. No paper towels in the kitchen. Kind of seemed like the place was thrown together pretty quick without a lot of care. Sorry to sound harsh, I never leave bad reviews, but this was not what I expected. I’m not sure who left these other positive reviews. Grateful for the place to stay, but personally would not stay here again.

Nice studio in an interesting neighborhood. Friendly host. Great communication. She was very kind to provide items we needed. Comfortable bed. Clean towels. Near downtown. We walked and took Lyft to downtown. My only complaint was that the walls and floor were dirty, other than that I will stay at this property again. Recommended.
