W Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Just Awesome"

Cozy 2 Bedroom in Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"The inside of the apartment was pretty clean and the pictures are very accurate to what you’re getting. The beds are comfortable and the location isn’t too noisy. The passcode lock on the outside of the building is a little finicky, sometimes it picks up you pressing the buttons and sometimes it doesn’t. In the first bed room there is no remote for the tv and the tv glitches a little bit. The door knob for the master bedroom is damaged. The shower rod looks like it needs to be fixed because it looks like it might fall off the wall. For any handicap people this unit is a third floor stair walk up. Overall, a nice stay for the couple of days we were there."

3-Story Philly Townhouse 2 Mi to University City!

10/10 Excellent

"The inside of the home was amazingly great. I did learn a new word from my son regarding the neighborhood though, gentrification. We arrived after dark and the neighborhood/ Street seemed a little scary. We met Steve, the neighbor, and got to know him over our 3 night stay. His presence probably keeps the street safe. There is a police station across the way as well. We did walk to the university, the grocery, the bagel store and the donut shop and felt safe. Just saying don't judge the place by the first impression as you approach."
