Charming 3-bedroom house with WiFi and AC in wonderful Philadelphia

Host was very responsive and quickly helpful. The house was clean and had all the basic amenities. There were a few maintenance issues, but nothing that impacted our stay, just a few small repairs needed. Unfortunately, the prior guests had not followed the no smoking rule and had clearly been vaping. There was a very strong smell which cleared after we opened the windows for a good airing out. The neighborhood was convenient and street parking was easy to find. The house was a bargain and the stay was comfortable. We had everything we needed and want to thank our host for an easy stay.

Check in was quick. Kitchen was well equipped, also large washer and dryer was handy.

everything was great clean house and great service

Great host

Our original booking was cancelled by the host very last minute so I needed to find a place within 48 hours. The host was very responsive and let me book within 2 hours since VRBO was also covering some over the cost (last minute cancellation). I did contact the host before 7am. The check in process is super easy and the lock was even easier to operate. If you've booked with any other places, you may understand. The location is so so, it is south Philly, but there it's easy access to so much. We were only a few minutes from highway access, food and other places like the art museum. The neighbors are sweet and the bodega on corner has great food. It's a 1 minute walk to the Bodega. It was quiet outside our entire stay and we were able to find parking close. The neighbors also have outdoor cameras so the one time we parked on the corner wasn't an issue.The house was cozy. The kitchen is updated and so are the bathrooms. Water pressure is great and plenty of hot water.The rooms are decent size for the age of the home and the main larger room as wall to wall windows. The linens were clean. The beds were comfortable.The house does have older furniture BUT for what the cost is and the fact they do allow animals, if you need that amenity, I found it to be perfectly acceptable and fine. I'd book this house again if it's available the next time we go to Philadelphia.

Being pet-friendly and a decent price point was a plus, but the furnishings were a bit more worn and sparse than expecting. The doors either stuck/got jammed or were creaking. Check-in was straight forward and easy.

Love the place for me and my family
