In the hostâs bathroom I saw a roach nymph (young roach) crawling on the bathroom wall. I killed it and flushed it down the toilet. Further looking in the bathroom I located a Combat roach bait under the bathroom mirror and another on the floor under the bathroom vanity. A roach nymph is a clear indication that theyâre nesting and reproducing. I also saw two more Combat roach baits on the kitchen floor along the refrigerator. I messaged the host that I do not want to invite this problem into my home by roaches getting into my suitcases and belongings, and will not be staying the night. Additionally, found hair on one of the beds. Host never responded.
Poor parking. The listing didn't mention how difficult parking is there. I had elderly people with me that had trouble with the stairs, which weren't mentioned in description. Found a cockroach in the dishes. Hallway smelled like someone was actively smoking a joint. Lots of neighbor noise.
This place was absolutely perfect for my son and I who came out for 4 days. Location was close to public transport and is easy walking distance to reading market. The host was awesome! Super accommodating and replied in a timely manner. I will stay here again when I return to Philly.
This past weekend we celebrated my best friends bachelorette trip! This location was perfect for chill vibes and a lowkey girls weekend. So close to everything we wanted to do. It was clean and easy to find and enter/exit. Very quiet and friendly neighbors. Parking is up the street so that was nice as well. Would recommend!
This property worked great for us as we were visiting family right around the corner. Beds were so comfy and it was awesome to have a/c as it was so hot and humid. Only complaint is people talking loudly outside at 1:30am Friday- Sunday, probably coming from the bar next door, but that's not the owner's fault. We will stay here again!
My daughter and I loved this apartment! The high ceilings makes it feel so spacious. Overnight parking is only 2 blocks away. The location is perfect for walking to Reading Terminal Market and China town. The host was very helpful and responded quickly! Id definitely stay here again!
We had an overall pleasant stay here. Gladys was responsive and easy to communicate with. The apartment is located in an older building within easy walking distance to notable attractions and central Philly but is in a bit more of an industrial area. We travel with earplugs and would recommend if youâre a light sleeper. The apartment had some basics available but if you plan to cook/eat in youâll need to stock up. Because the apartment is conveniently located, there are things like Reading Terminal Market, Trader Joeâs, Good Spirits and Fine Wines, 7-11, and others within 15-20 minutes on foot to get what you need. We enjoyed the city and look forward to visiting again.
Very convenient to the Convention Center. Close to Reading Market. Property was clean and perfect for a weekend stay at a good price. Gladys, our host was great to communicate with.
Location was easy to locate, to walk to downtown, and hop on tour bus to see all the sites. Fell in love with Philly. The cleanliness of the city, the friendliness of people, and beauty. I was with tween boys and we even walked the bridge over the Delaware River to Adventure Aquarium, fantastic walk, and perfect weather the whole weekend. The apartment was cozy and quiet, so we easily slept and recharged for next day. Great tripâŠwould do it again at same location
The apartment was clean and very comfortable for our family. Its proximity to the convention center allowed us to park our car in the public lot a block away for the whole weekend and just walk everywhere. The building was very secure. Out host, Gladys, was very communicative with check-in/out instructions. We especially loved the pub on the next block (great food and music, very cozy)! Would definitely stay here again.
Gladys chapter 3 Queen small two-bedroom apartment. she was very helpful in her communications. We enjoyed our stay in this area,. especially the variety of restaurants we were able to access. We love going to Chinatown! Grocery shopping was also available nearby at the Giant.
This was our first time to Philly and the experience of staying in a city apartment was fun. This location is an easy 10 min walk to the convention center. The apartment was well stocked with items, and was so nice to have a washer and dryer! The streets were fairly quiet and I felt safe walking with my children in the area. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had.
Four of us stayed here for the Philly Marathon. Check in check out was a snap. The apartment was clean and the location felt safe w good security. The location was walkable to attractions.
The apartment was just as advertised, off the main road but conveniently located on a quieter street. Numerous restaurants are within walking distance but a large grocery and pharmacy are a 5 minute walk away. Entry and exit was smooth and uncomplicated and secure parking is 1/2 block away.
We'd gladly stay again.
Gladys was a wonderful host! The location was perfect for our weekend trip. We absolutely loved the detailing in the tiles both in the home and the entrance hallway. Would definitely come back.
We had a good stay. Communication was good. Super easy check-in process. The apartment itself is as listed, it does seem a little bigger in the pictures, but it was what we needed it to be and as described, outside of the two sets of stairs you have to take to get there. Very clean. The only thing I wish I had known prior to booking is that it is a 2nd story walk-up, there was no elevator on property that I could find and this was not noted in the listing.
