A quiet neighborhood with reasonably easy street parking. Host is very gracious and provided excellent dining recommendations. Location is not convenient to any subway stops.

Very pleasant stay and very accommodating host. Property looked just like in the pictures. Quiet property and friedly neighborhood. Street parking but there was always a spot right by the house. Our dog was with us and enjoyed his stay too! Our host was very responsive to our questions. Check in was easy! We'll definitely consider staying here again when back in Philly!

Property was as advertised. Row house on Residential Street nicely remodeled and up to date. Street parking, but not difficult to find a nearby spot. Owner was very responsive and contacted us immediately about items we had inadvertently left behind. 2nd full bath is on lower level, shower a little small and water just lukewarm, Narrow stairs to go down to that level. But- 2nd floor full bath is wonderful and 1/2 bath on main floor is convenient. Pleasant stay for our 4 person group and convenient location for what we had planned.

A Home Away From Home! Everything you needed was there, even charging stations for your phone. The house was roomy with beautiful bright decor. The host was helpful and friendly. She responded rapidly as well . I would definitely book again. We came to town for a funeral and the owner was very supportive. Thank you for having us.

Great location, quiet neighborhood, ample street parking. Ample pillows, bedding, towels. We had some questions about the A/C and owner responded promptly and helped to resolve issue.It was a bit warm upstairs but outside temps were 85-90. Ceiling fans helped.

Perfect stay in Philly
My family and I were in town for our daughter's graduation at The Mann. Matu's place was perfectly located. The home was clean and well furnished. My wife and daughter's really enjoyed the space. Matu was the perfect host. She was easily accessible and responsive to messaging. Check-in and check-out were effortless. I would highly recommend staying here when visiting Philadelphia.

Philly Reunion
The house was beautifully decorated. Beds were comfortable. Sufficient parking. Upon arrival, the air condition was turned off, temps were in the 90s during 3 day stay. Upstairs where bedrooms were, did not comfortably cool off until last day. Thank goodness, each room had ceiling fans! Amenities stated there was a hot tub which we never found. There were no stores within walking distance. Entrance lock did not properly work. Property was overpriced.
