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.

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.
