Pretty good stay overall! Host was gracious and very versatile! Extended our stay on very short notice. The neighborhood looked a little rough but everyone was very nice and the house was as described, it was just a shock when we arrived. Don't let the surrounding area turn you off! It was great to be so close to everything! Would stay again for sure!

Nice clean place made for a pleasant stay! It had enough room and amenities for what we needed. It was in a rough inner city neighborhood but the place was very nice. However we tried using the oven a couple times and it didn’t reach a temp over 200 degrees. The stove was nice and used it with no issues and we were able to cook. The front steps need a hand rail as we had some trouble getting up and down the stairs. But other than that we loved it and was perfect for what we needed with our 2 kids. Parking was a little difficult with it being only street parking but we managed to get a spot not too far away.

The home was clean throughout (kitchen refrigerator could have been cleaner...minor however). We did not have or need a car. But if you have a car, you can only park on the street and it's very tight. Home is located in a regentrified area of West Philly. It was a vibrant, eclectic area that we found interesting as we walked to and from the University of Penn. Overall the accommodations were fine and a great value.

Property was clean and provided basic necessities for a home stay. Listing had some conflicting information about the check in process which had to be cleared up with the owner but no issues checking in. Area around the property was a little sketchy and on the edge of a “transitioning neighborhood” but I didn’t feel unsafe during the day.

Check in/check out was smooth. The house was spacious and surface clean, but those with household allergies might have issues. I don't usually have bad allergies, but they really flared up every time I was in the house, and they've gone since I left the house. The area is quiet, but a bit far from Drexel/UPenn campus. The surrounding area felt a bit sketchy at night.

Philly brotherly love

Place was really nice and cozy. The neighborhood was not well lit but didn’t have any problems. I had my 2024 Jeep Wrangler parked down the street and had to walk to the house. We stayed for the Fourth of July so there was some fireworks going off. Neighbors were nice to give the greeting of the day and night.

The things that were awesome about this Vrbo rental include awesome water pressure (and ample HOT WATER) in the shower, comfortable beds with extra blankets available if needed, plenty of towels, roomy bedrooms (space for luggage!), and an updated and adequately stocked kitchen. The house is … historical? I loved the wood floors and the interesting architecture of the older home. The host communicated well and often.Two aspects of our experience form the reason for giving only 3 stars when so many things about the house were positive. First is the furniture in the gathering spaces (living room/dining area). There was only one large piece of furniture for seating in the living room. I suppose it could fit 4 bodies if we were all lined up, but it would be weird, and not conducive to conversation. The stools at the dining table were okay for quick meals, but they were essentially the only group seating options, and they were a bit stiff and uncomfortable after any length of time. So, adding more furniture so guests can hang out together comfortably would easily turn this into a 5-star experience!The other issue we encountered was relatively minor, and very likely a one-off kind of thing. We could not get the electronic door lock to work. I believe the host said there was a recent software update or something like that. There was a contingency plan already in place - a lock box on the door containing a house key.I appreciated free parking (it’s residential).
