TVs not connected Shower leaked Loose floorboards Loose carpet on stairsDad had to trim rose bushes for outside seating Outside area completely unkempt (hot tub and pergola ripped down, furniture dirty)Plants all dead inside Showers dirty "Clean" plates greasy Shelves crooked Food and toiletries left spoiled from precious tenants Mouse in the attic Either the cleaners didn’t clean from the last tennant, or something-- the amenities were not what was promised. The host told me there was "off street parking". It was the bare basics of what we needed for 11 people.

House didn’t live up to previous high ratings. Dishwasher didn’t work. We had 9 people staying at the home and there were only 7 forks. Two of the beds didn’t have flat sheets. No hand towels or wash cloths. Ran out of hand soap and paper towels (which are used in bathroom instead of hand towels). No ice cube trays and ice maker didn’t work. No microwaveable plates. Dirty sock found in a bedroom on arrival. Owner responded to some requests, but dishwasher was ignored until it was too late. Otherwise, house is as described in words and pictures. Parking is on street; often a block away.

Nice for large families
Very nicely decorated historic duplex comfortably sized for the ten of us! Had everything we needed, kitchen was on the small side and only two bathrooms, but we loved the spacious third floor room, the wooden staircase, relaxing living room and front porch. Even though it only has first come, first serve street parking, our kids were excited to experience a typical Philly neighborhood atmosphere, and especially enjoyed the large screen TVs and record players in each room with a huge collection of LPs to choose from!

Great place to stay!
The house has beautiful live plants inside and out, with a stunning rose bushes outside. The private, back patio is great for outdoor meals. The record players, books, and candles were also cozy and welcoming.
The host were so sweet and accommodating. Would stay here again!
