We Love This Property.
What a great trip. The property was perfect, clean comfortable, roomy. The neighborhood was amazing to walk around. It seems everyone had decorated for Halloween, and we walked through at night, taking pictures. We even had a nightcap at the bar on the corner. Parking is a bit of a challenge but we got super lucky, and parked in front of the door every single time. Our host couldn’t be better. He was easy reachable, responsive, and friendly. We would stay here again.

Fabulous neighborhood, perfect for traveling with our pup!
We had a wonderful stay! The property was in a wonderful location with free street parking during the weekend, which was wonderful for our large pick up. It was also wonderful that the property had a ground floor living area with only 4-5 steps for the entry, since we were bringing in our bikes for the Philly Bike ride on the 19th. The living area was large and comfortable, with cable tv, and there was a small enclosed yard. The bedrooms were as described and beds were comfortable. Check in was easy as were check out instructions. The only caution I’d give to future guests is that this property is currently for sale, and supplies were a little spotty - no soap for the showers, no dishwashing detergent. We were fine for our short stay but good to ask about this if you;re staying longer. We absolutely loved the neighborhood though! Great parks and friendly restaurants nearby, coffee shops, and close to transit. Would definitely stay there again!

The house is in a great location, very walkable and safe. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The house is large with lots of space. However the house was dirty with sticky surfaces, bugs, underwear on the floor, blankets and linens needed washed and hair.

Weekend Trip for a Music Festival
The place was well decorated with high end appliances and furnishings. However, it was lacking a few basic amenities. There was no iron, only 3 face clothes (for a place that sleeps 7) and only 1/3 a roll of papertowel. It appeared to be clean but there was a lot of hair in the bathrooms and an ant problem. Parking was terrible, but ig that's typical for the area. Unless you're prepared to walk a few blocks to and from your vehicle, this may not be the best option for you. All that being said, the issues where minor and im sure the owner would be willing to address them. I would recommend and book again.

The place was unclean. The third floor bedrooms were unacceptable. The owners belongings are still around VRBO put him on the phone with me when I was complaining, which was totally unacceptable. And the owner was yelling at me. The dishwasher was broken, we ran out of toilet paper, there was a Christmas ornament under a table, there was no lightbulb in the reading area. My suggestion is find a different place and maybe use a different company.

Beautiful house with plenty of space for a family of any size to relax and spend time with each other. One of the safest areas to of Philly to stay with nice neighbors all around. The host communicates very which gives me a piece of mind when getting all the booking details. Parking is competitive I suggest to come early.

Christmas in Passyunk
Location was great, especially for a holiday trip to the city. As stated in a previous review this property is for sale and its obvious that some things are being worked on and have been worked on to sell. Christmas tree was present which was a nice touch. I definitely felt safe in the apartment. Parking was typical city parking and wasnt a burden.

Great Neighborhood/Location
I was hesitant to book this place because of the mixed reviews, but I can say that, overall, it was a great stay. Here’s the rundown of our experience: - Great location in a great neighborhood. Easy walk to everything… grocery, coffee, and lots of nice restaurants. Definitely felt safe in the home and in the neighborhood. - Home is very spacious and linens were clean. King and queen bed were comfortable. The third bedroom is two twin beds and totally set up for children, so not so comfortable for adults. Also, heat rises, so the third floor (where the twin bedroom is) gets very toasty. We think that there is a fourth bedroom up there with a futon (based on what the listing says), but it was locked. - The home is for sale and it is obvious that the owner’s priority is staging it to sell, not making it a special vacation rental. Aside from the quirky things that other reviews listed (hole in the floor, huge crack in the sink, and other unfinished remodeling projects), it is missing things like garbage cans in the bathrooms, hand towels in the kitchen, toilet paper holders, and other amenities that make you feel like a valued guest. They’ve got random stuff crammed in the corner of the kitchen, tiles stacked on the countertop, and multiple drawers in the kitchen are full of tools and random personal items. Ultimately, despite some of the quirks, I would stay here again.

Baseball trip
The neighborhood is great but big time issue with cleanliness. It looked like someone moved out quickly so we could rent the home. The linens were fresh but that was all. I wish I could post the pics I took. Molded coffee grounds were in the coffee maker. Months of dust & dirty clothes under the master bed. Windows were so dirty we didn’t open them for fresh air. The dishwasher doesn’t work properly so we rewashed the items inside before using. The shag rug hadn’t been vacuumed. It took 8 days to find the tv remote stuck in the couch under a blanket. I have requested my cleaning fee to be refunded since cleaning fees are supposed to ensure the rental is clean but Anthony has not gotten back to me about that.

A great option for the neighborhood, not without its quirks
Overall, we had a positive experience at this listing. I found it to be cleaner than what other reviews mention, the king and queen bedrooms are quite nice, the master bathroom is gorgeous, bonus points that the sofa in the back lies flat into a double-ish sized futon, and the lounge area/family room is accommodating to a medium-sized group of people looking to hang out and chat. The unt definitely has its quirks. A can't-miss-it-sized hole in the wooden floors on the 2nd floor? A large crack in the sink of the ground floor half bathroom? Perhaps it was unintentional to leave a room on the 3rd floor ajar, but it was odd - a large pile of clothes, a rack full of more clothes, pretty unclean (I feel like the owner could charge more if they made it into another bedroom?). The bedroom with the twins upstairs is unrenovated and hot to sleep in, unlike the rest of the house. The owner seems nice and welcoming. He let us know of all of the best spots in the area, had some drinks/coffee for us in the kitchen, and ensured we had the WiFi password early. That being said, it took us a while to check in, as there were no check in instructions listed and it took longer than I thought it would to call/text the owner to get the PIN to the front door. We were just waiting outside for 20-30 minutes, waiting for a response to my texts/voicemails. The unit is in a wonderful neighborhood with great shops, restaurants nearby... and oddly the owner always mentioned how valuable the property was and how much other properties in the neighborhood were selling for. Cool, I guess. That being said, it is what it is, it's a pretty good unit, we had a good time. If you've got a decently sized group and want to be in this neighborhood, this is your go-to.

Worst VRBO experience to date
My family and I recently booked this property as out of town travelers who would be staying in the city for my 1 year old’s surgery at CHOP. We decided to book a home instead of our usual hotel so that we could have more room as my parents and oldest son would also be joining us. To put it mildly, this has been the worst VRBO experience, by far. I am a frequent traveler with VRBO and therefore, decided to take the risk of booking a property that was a “new listing” and had no customer reviews. That was a mistake and my hope is to accurately represent the property so that other travelers do not have the same experience. Review of the home and major complaints: ⁃ strong, musty odor immediately upon entry into the home ⁃ Hole in flooring upstairs- HUGE safety hazard ⁃ used/dirty washcloth left in shower which we discovered upon arrival - large stains on both living room chairs which deterred us from using them - bright red stains on bed linens on 3rd floor bedroom (Note: this bedroom was not pictured in the VRBO listing and therefore cannot be “compared”. The room was not represented visually whatsoever.) - The AC in the home was only cooling on the 1st level and therefore, the sleeping quarters on floors 2 and 3 were not habitable due to the heat. The owner was adamant that the unit was “properly functioning” and that very well may be- but to me, that is irrelevant as I can PROMISE you, the bedrooms on floors 2 and 3 were beyond uncomfortable. The issue isn’t that the unit is “not broken”- the issue is that it is not sufficient. Especially when the outdoor temperature is 95+. The main floor temperature was not an issue, but unless 5 adults and 2 small children- one of which recovering from major surgery- slept in the kitchen/living room… we would have been miserable. Needless to say, we chose to pay for hotel accommodations and I am out a pretty penny as the owner refused to give validity to any of my concerns and therefore, refused any reimbursement. (Thank goodness my credit card company agreed to reimburse me in full after supplying proof of misrepresentation). As you can see in the host's responses to other reviews, I was told multiple times that my complaints were unfounded and that this home is worth "X"- which is irrelevant. However, the most ridiculous (and insulting) part was his conclusion that my complaints were due to being "nervous" about my daughter's surgery. Insane. I would not recommend this property to travelers.
