Under construction
The inside was as advertised, clean and adequate for us. However, there was construction on the outside, it was being resurfaced and painted. we had to dodge scaffolding, and visqueen barriers. The information that this was happening should have been told to us and shown with a photo.

As Promised/More Delivered
The serene, spacious, Silverwood home was also seriously comfortable. The bed we slept in was as nice as our deluxe one at home, the spaces were well-appointed with cozy pillows, and the floors appeared and felt spotless. We felt at ease and rested well. Thank you for honoring us with your care as we visited family in the City.

Nice place in Manayunk
2 spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, on separate floors! Nice neighborhood, and parking space was a plus, though I have to say there was plenty of street parking. Hosts were super responsive when we had questions. Well equipped kitchen. Would definitely stay here again!

Positive experience
This property is in a great location. Minutes to walk to the train to get into the city. Short walk to main street with lots of shops and restaurants. Parking is a major plus!! Nice deck for relaxing in the morning with coffee or evening for drinks. As stated in the description, there are stairs. Not an issue for us but could be for others.
