This worked well for us, but we rented a car and parking was hard to find. Next time we'd Uber. But that was our only issue. Cute place that met our needs! Host was very responsive and we appreciated the cold bottles of water and coffee pods. Didn't use any snacks because we purchased our own, but that was a nice gesture too!

Check in and everything else about our stay was incredibly easy! The fridge was stocked with tons of ice cold water bottles, so welcome during a crazy heat wave. It's a cute house and cool area. Bed was super comfy as well. Our host proactively checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.

Perfect for all of our needs. Excellent attention to detail - from snacks and water in the kitchen to lots of towels and extra blankets. Cannot recommend these hosts highly enough.

The house was very clean and a very reasonable price. Owner was very communicative and helpful. The place itself was a bit more rundown than I thought from the listing. The stairs are a little tilted to the right and a bedroom door handle was almost falling out of the door. The kitchen had most things you need but not in abundance. Just enough. There was also a lot of street activity out front - noisy well past 1am. That said, it’s extremely clean and a good value!

Good South Philly location, very clean and inviting. Plenty of parking on Point Breeze. Aldi (with a burrito truck!), donuts and yoga all within walking distance. Beds were clean and very comfortable, like staying at a friend's house. Would definitely recommend.

We really liked this rental -was bigger than in the pictures! Street parking was pretty hard as most blocks nearby required permit or were 2hr only. Bus was 2 blocks away- we used most days 20min ride to market street. Owner provided snacks, water and coffee pods which was very convenient for us.

South Philly House was clean and comfortable and perfect for a three-day trip. Great to have a dishwasher, a fridge full of cold water, and high-quality washer & dryer. I had no problems parking if I got back around 4pm. The host was quick to respond when I had questions. Takeout at South Sichuan was excellent. Also like El Mezcal, Sardine Bar, Hannah K, and The Sidecar Bar & Grill. Hope to stay here again.

Great Little Place!

My brother and I came into town for a friend's wedding and just needed an affordable place to crash. We ended up booking here last minute because our other accommodations fell through and I'm really glad we ended up here! We truly felt like guests here. You can tell the host really cares and thought of everything you might need and was very quick and responsive to any questions we had. Very cozy and very close to so many things! Parking is a little scarce but I think that's to be expected in the city. We were always able to eventually find a place on Point Breeze like the host recommended. Would absolutely stay here again!

It served the purpose.

Overall satisfied with the property, safe and walkable location with bars and restaurants easy to access. The challenge was that its a very old home, Beds are hard, pillows are old and very flat, main floor furniture is mostly comfortable for short term hang but not really a space you want to lounge at long term we really just used it as a spot to park our stuff and sleep which it was fine for. Also, property manager was very communicative and accomodating to changes/needs. Place was clean check in was easy mostly all the things you need for a short stay, even cold waters in the fridge when we got there which was a plus. For location, id probably stay again but wish the beds where not so hard.

The host was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. The home was clean and had nice amenities. The location was also convenient and accessible by private vehicle or public transportation. There are also some nearby restaurants that are really convenient and have good food.
