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.

Spacious Modern Apartment
The apartment was clean and modern and had plenty of space. Having 1.5 baths is very nice. The host (Jacob) was friendly and easy to contact.
