Great Location!

Our stay was wonderful & I would definitely use WorkStudy Suites again! Russ was helpful and responded timely. Everything is conveniently located in a cute town across from the college. The unit was extremely clean and easy checkin process. Dedicated parking spot right out front is a bonus. Highly recommended!

Walk to anything on Swarthmore campus

Excellent location!!! Especially if visiting Swarthmore for the weekend. Right between Hobbs (great local coffee hang out) and the Coop (great place to grab snacks or lunch - with leftovers in your fridge!). Unit is clean and functional. Russell was great - smoke alarm was beeping when we arrived and he stopped by with a variety of batteries and took care of it quickly - so thankful!

Horrible property, buyer beware

Upon arrival there was a loud pickup truck in the very small parking lot, with a running engine and generator for a food trailer supplying the local brewery. Upon entrance to the property it became clear that it was far smaller than depicted by photos, hence “cozy” description. There was mouse feces on the threadbare linens on the bed which was covered by a shaggy coverlet. The bathroom was so small you could barely stand in it. There were absolutely disgusting old condiments in the refrigerator and ancient honey in the cabinets from which a roach scuttled out! The couch had crumbs under the cushions. Dirt under the baseboard heaters, dirt on the walls…Not knowing I had to take pictures to document what I saw, I vacated the premises with my kids and tried to call Russ, who did not answer the phone. Emailed via vrbo, and after some delay was told the food truck would be gone by 8, which was untrue as we were sitting in my vehicle at 820 and food truck still there. Then owner claimed it would be gone at 9pm. Then he told me his cleaner said the place was clean. After extensive emailing he thought that he could send his maintenance guy to check what I found at 10 pm! We did not stay here either night as it was utterly disgusting. I had to find and pay for a hotel for the weekend, and was put on hold by vrbo for 75 minutes in order to attempt to get a refund, which was denied.

Horrible experience in this dingy VRBO unit

Arrived 1030pm but left next morning. RENTER BEWARE! Upon entering, a dozen large flies encircled us. Spent half hour killing them. The photo shopped pics are deceiving. Place is rundown/dingy. Carpet in bedroom was so disgusting family refused to walk on it barefoot (we have pics). A/C in bedroom is window unit and is noisy as heck. It had hard time cooling down apartment. Living area only had a standing fan. Upon opening pullout couch, dirt & crumbs dropped out. The owner sent pics of what he told us were taken by his cleaners to prove unit was clean. They were clearly professional photos not taken after the crew prepped the space as many items in the pics were not even in unit. Contacted owner next morning to tell him we vacated the unit. He told us if we had contacted him within 4 hours of arrival we could have had refund. “You cannot stay for free then request refund”, he said. “Would have had you depart that night if you were unhappy with listing.". (So, we are to call guy at midnight & try to find another place to stay at that hour)? We offered to pay for night stayed there but requested refund for remaining nights; he refused. To add insult to injury, he told us there were no flies in the unit (so we are lying?) and TV worked despite us following his jerry rigged instructions. We did a little research and noticed owner has at least 5 rental units in area. The reviews were underwhelming. Many folks had issues dealing with this money-grubbing guy.

Not Recommended

The photos do not tell you that the only window in the unit looks out on a parking lot adjacent to a bar. The parking lot also serves as a playground for children with balls that bump your unit and your car. Noise from the bar on Friday and Saturday nights. Also, no a/c in main room, so could not even use pull out couch because the room was so hot and stuffy. The whole unit needs upgrading and is not much more than an old cheap motel. Bathroom door has been mangled by an angry dog- scratch marks all over. When I contacted the host about these issues, I was promised compensation for my troubles (after 30 minutes on the phone), but was then ghosted by Russ and have not heard back. The location is perfect for those visiting Swarthmore, the room was clean, but not worth the money spent.

Cozy Apartment in Swarthmore

This cozy apartment has all you need for a nice, quiet stay in Swarthmore. It's located across from the regional commuter train (but is very quiet), and a block from the campus. There is a great local coffee shop within a block, as well as local food options within 5 minutes. Great location for visits in the area, as well as using the SEPTA trains to get to center City.

Wonderful small town feel. Over the weekend downtown (75 feet away) hosted a food truck and live music festival on one day and on another they had a market. Plenty of options for food. Train was a football field away and was a straight shot into the city! Great time!

Location great, pictures inaccurate

Great location and owner was nice and available. The picture set an expectation that this was a bright modern place. It is darker and more dated that the picture represents Air conditioner was loud and had to run 24/7 to keep it bearable in the space.

Great place to tuck in for a Swarthmore visit

The cottage is absolutely perfect for those visiting Swarthmore. Steps away from the train, five to ten minutes to the college, and right around the corner from great coffee, great pizza, and killer co-op. Just lovely and so easy. Will definitely be back!
