Philly Shows

The place was very clean and was very welcoming. The check in process was very easy. Because it's an older building remodeled, the air conditioning did not circulate fully to the bedroom and it could get hot at night.

Short Weekend Stay

My son and I enjoyed our stay here very much. The apartment was just as it was described plus owner had many little extra toiletries available if needed. I also really appreciated having some cleaning supplies available if needed. We used Apple Maps to guide us to the location and it took us somewhere about 5 blocks away. Messaged the owner and she immediately responded with additional info and offered to speak with us on the phone. Her directions were spot on and guided us right in. Location was perfect for our visit to Univ. Of Penn.

Coffee was a nice touch and appreciated. Living room couch not very comfortable for a 6’5” man. And the rocking chair was small for me as well. However, good stay and close to hospital.

Wonderful host and apartment

The apartment was wonderful. Very well laid out and functional (as nice as the pictures present). Amenities, service, and helpfulness of the hostess were appreciated. Instructions upon entry were explicit and helpful. The apartment made us immediately feel comfortable.

lovely unit

i stayed for five nights in this lovely, sparkling clean unit. The host created a very welcoming environment. The location is very near to the CHOP medical campus and Ronald McDonald House. Walking in the surrounding neighborhood seemed quite safe. I recommend this choice highly.

Well appointed, clean and spacious 1st floor 1 bedroom

This place was beautifully decorated, very clean and welcoming with little touch from the host. He/She was responsive and flexible with the booking. This spacious 1 bedroom apartment is convenient to both UPenn and Drexel Univeristy.

Great stay while visiting daughter at UPenn

We had a great stay! The place was a short walk to U Penn campus. Plenty of shops and restaurants within a 10-minute walk. Very clean, plenty of space for the two of us, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Thanks for being a great host!
