Perfect for a long weekend
The house was great for a long weekend. Parking garage, Target, and grocery store were all right around the corner. Easy walk to the Broad St subway line or a 20 min walk to downtown. The check in process was a little confusing but got it straightened out quickly. Host very responsive.

For Sale
Property was under some updating to prepare for sale. But we were able to park right out front, which was a godsend. Convenient location to co-op grocery store. Centrally located.

Cheap option for Philly stay
Our stay was good not great at this rental. - We had some issues initial with the alarm system (instructions were sent after the check-in, so we did manage to fix those once the host realized they didn't send the instructions) - House isn't in great condition, not very clean - Location is good, but is at the end of a dead-end street and parking help was not provided until after check-in - A number of quality issues - bed frame wasn't secure, microwave handle was loose, etc. - resulted in not so comfortable stay. All in all, the host was quick to respond and the location was good. I'd say this is more a stay for folks who are looking for a place to sleep and that's it, not much of a place to hang out/relax in for long period of time. It is a cheap option, so we didn't feel we overpaid, but quality wasn't clear in the listing.

Suited our needs
Only negatives were the lack of seating on the roof to take advantage of the view and the state of the jacuzzi but it otherwise met all of our needs. Some highlights were the easy access to groceries, a short walk to some solid Italian restaurants and bakeries, and access to the city center.

Concert Kimmel Center
Family trip to Philadelphia, my wife and I flew in and our children and their spouses drove. The location was great. Easily walkable to Kimmel Center and many other attractions. The Sprouts market was great to have so close. The only negative is the parking. Definitely best to park in the parking garage, it is convenient, a little expensive, but not bad on weekends.

Great Location and Roof Views, Property Needs TLC, Hot Tub Broken
Was in town with the family visiting old friends. Overall experience was okay, but could have been good to great without a few minor but annoying and preventable negatives. Positives -Great view from roof deck, great/quiet location, reasonably equipped kitchen, property reasonably clean, property manager Matt easily reached and responsive Negatives -Hot tub advertised in property title but heating element broken--so a cold tub. We weren't dying to have a hot tub, but, ya know, truth-in-advertising is nice... -Having to use app (August) to open doors was annoying -So much of a Smart Home that you can't raise/lower blinds yourself -3rd floor toilet wouldn't flush on arrival -Multiple smoke detectors were chirping low battery at check-in. Removing them to stop this made the Smart Home panel squawk that the smoke detectors had been tampered with (!). Ultimately, Matt the property manager sent someone replace them and reset the beeping panel. -Living room and roof deck could use some more furniture; the roof deck is so great but there isn't so much as a chair or table up there!

Great location
The location of this property was great! Loved having spouts next door and many other stores we needed to buy things at. Matthew was a great host as far as replying to texts quickly. The only con i have of this property is that it was very dirty. Most of the dishes were dirty so i had to clean them so i could use them. And there was so much dog hair in all of the rooms. Other than that i had a great stay!

Philly + the Red Hot Chili Peppers
My husband, son, and I traveled to Philadelphia for a log weekend to attend a concert. The rental property was as advertised. It was clean and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful. I would highly recommend this property and this owner! We had a wonderful time!

Nice Location, but a few issues
In rating this one in the middle at 3 stars. The location was great because it was only about 15 to 30 minutes walk to center city and old city. But there were some concerns. Pros: -location -roof top view -bedrooms/beds Cons: -Couch possibly needs to be cleaned- to me it smelled like dog smell and even dog pee. -Furniture leaves something to be desired, couch fits maybe 3 people and there is two bar stools and one piece of deck furniture upstairs that is falling apart a bit. For the couch it's not a big deal since you'll probably be out exploring the city, but when you get back and your feet are tired everyone will want to sit on it. -one of the toilets also broke during the stay and the hot tub didn't work either(never heated up). Overall, the house could be furnished better but the rooftop was pretty cool.
