The “room” was not the apartment pictured in the add. I booked based on what was pictured and got something else. They also tried to charge the cleaning fee twice.. the bathroom window was stuck or broken causing the bathroom to be too ice cold to shower.

For the pricing and last mintier nature of the trip this place worked very well and with a few small upgrades it will be a very nice place to stay. The bed is uncomfortable & the microwave wasn’t working. The customer service was really great and I would probably stay again.

Great space for 1-2 people. Walls are a bit thin and can hear everything in the room next door. I do wish there was a coffee pot. Would have given 5’s across the board if there was. Overall nice place. I’d stay again. If there is a coffee pot.

Nice studio in an interesting neighborhood. Friendly host. Great communication. She was very kind to provide items we needed. Comfortable bed. Clean towels. Near downtown. We walked and took Lyft to downtown. My only complaint was that the walls and floor were dirty, other than that I will stay at this property again. Recommended.

It was scary to be there. Nothing around no warning in how dangerous it is to walk around that area at night or in general. Sat in the porch and someone was watching. The guy who rented the other room said the same thing

Overall was a great stay. But the cleaners for sure didn’t clean properly. There was curly hair on the shower wall and the floor was sticky. Also they don’t even bother about under the bed. Also none of the streaming services worked on the tv. But the room is really cute looking. The location is great. Nice quiet street. But definitely gotta get new cleaners.

It’s worth the price

It was mostly a good stay. I came to town for a conference and this was only a couple miles from the conference venue and much cheaper than staying downtown. The pros: free WiFi, streaming available on the tv, towels and soap provided, plenty of space. The cons: you have to push really hard on the smart lock buttons or you’ll keep putting the code in over and over without it opening and it’s noisy. The walls were thin so I could hear the people in the next unit on the phone very early in the morning and I could hear their kid making noise when I wanted to be asleep.

I do not know Philly. We were there for a concert. The neighborhood was scary wouldn’t walk around it in daylight. Room needs a lot of work. Broken tilt in bathroom. Do not recommend this place. Just looks like a ghetto studio apartment. Mattress was like a board and the pillows were nonexistent
