Perfect!
I brought my teenage daughter and three of her friends to a show at the Fillmore. This home was absolutely perfect. It is only one block from the venue. The home is exactly as pictured. Gabe and Jon were excellent hosts and replied almost instantly for the few questions I had. Sadly we only got to stay for one night, but all five of us can’t wait to book the place again! Street parking was limited, but we made out ok.

Thank you Michelle, we couldn’t have been happier. Communicative, clean, and respected the house rules. We highly recommend Michelle to any host.

Family of Five Loved It
We had a fabulous time staying in this beautiful home. The house was stocked with everything we needed (including lots of baby items for our 7 month old). We used the whole house - from catching up on laundry to having a glass of wine on the patio. The neighborhood had great coffee shops, restaurants, and playgrounds. It was an easy 10 minute drive to the Franklin Institute. Street parking was pretty easy to find, despite the construction down the block, and we never got a ticket. Gabe and Jon were responsive and gracious hosts. My only quibble is with the online verification process, managed by a third party property management company. They first sent me emails for the wrong dates, which made me really worried I had booked incorrectly. Then after I had completed the cumbersome registration process, they sent emails saying that they didn't have my registration. I had to email them my confirmation. A minor inconvenience for the beautiful house, but something to be aware of!

Hi Stepahanie, thank you so much for your review! I'm glad you had a great time staying with us! And sorry for the Third Party software who manages our screening and the refundable security process as we strive to do our best to offer our best services. There must be some slight confusion where they have to fully verify the details and information and so we are glad to have that straightened out for you. Thanks again and we look forward to hosting you again soon!

Not as family friendly
Unfortunately we did not have a great experience as the main bathroom was not working and my husband and son both fell down the stairs to the basement bathroom. The stairs are very steep and not great for toddlers or young kids. We also had an odor in the main bedroom. The only thing we loved about the house was the location and overall would recommend it for people that aren’t bringing little ones.

We're truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We want to clarify that our team takes great care to ensure each unit is thoroughly inspected and prepared for each turneover and for our next guests before their arrival. Upon receiving your feedback, we promptly dispatched our plumber to address the issue with the bathroom. It's unfortunate that the clog occurred due to the disposal of items that should not have been flushed during your stay. We are not also aware about the incident that happened during your stay. We understand that the steep stairs to the basement bathroom may not be suitable for all guests, and we appreciate your feedback on this matter. Thank you for highlighting the positive aspect of our location, and we hope that despite the challenges you encountered, you were still able to enjoy your time with us.

Great but...
We really enjoyed the home and the guide book the hosts provided! The hosts were very responsive and the home was beautifully decorated and clean. Our biggest problem was the sparse bedding. We pick VRBOs so our family can spread out and get good sleep, and we had a hard time doing this in this home since there just wasn't any bedding. Only two comforter blankets for the main beds and some thin toss blankets. We expected extra bedding to be available since the home listed it could sleep 5 and had a couch bed. Even the main beds could have used more or thicker blankets. We turned up the heat to help but then those upstairs got too hot while those on the other floors froze. Anyway, the lack of rest affected our trip unfortunately and being out-of-town, buying bedding wasn't an option for us.

Our family time in Fishtown!!
This property was a great location… our son lives in the neighborhood, so we were thrilled to be here. It was walking distance to many restaurants, coffeehouses and a great walking path and park across the main road. The house was quiet, comfortable beds, and an xtra bonus was coffee and creamer for our first morning after a long day of travel. Hosts were very responsive with any questions. We will definitely be returning!!

In town for Business
Needed to stay on Philadelphia for three nights on business wanted something cleam and affordable which was close to good dining. Everything was great. Fresh remodel and new beds. Three TV’s which we did not use but a Ms Pacman downstairs which we did use. There is crowded street parking but there was a spot with 2-3 doors each night. There was only one spot each night, but all we had was one car, so it was perfect. The stairs are difficult if you have mobility problems. Other than that issue you should feel comfortable renting this space.

Fantastic
Gabe and John were amazing!!! They were super attentive to our needs. We traveled right after 95 closed, Gabe and John immediately reached out to us to assure us that where we were staying was not directly impacted by the closure and recommended we allow extra time and use either Waze or Maps. They checked in with us prior, during and after our stay. I have never experienced such attentive hosts. The apartment is immaculate and beautiful. Gabe and Johan have also created this incredible welcome/information packet that we downloaded and used everyday. It includes everything you need to know about the apartment and Philadelphia. Would definitely stay there again:)

Cute, Modern, Clean!
We were very happy with our stay! The space was very nicely decorated, clean, and easy to access. The hosts were lovely - kind, accommodating, and fantastic at communication. They allowed us an early check in upon request - much appreciated! Hosts also gave clear and concise directions for check in & check out. I would like to point out that the sofa is not a pull out bed - just a sofa that folds down. Suitable for kids/teens, not so much for adults. Be careful down the basement stairs, they are slippery. All in all, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely reccommend to others! :) Thank you Jon & Gabe!
