Charming 1-bedroom apartment with AC in lively Philadelphia / a beautiful view.

10/10 Excellent

"The space was overall perfect. Not too small, not too big. It was just right. Communication was smooth. I was able to enter the space asap from the moment our got out of my uber. I honestly wouldn’t mind staying here again."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"The whole hotel was very clean, staff was very helpful and addressed every concern we had. Someone we didn’t know knocked on our door around 11:15 pm. We called the front desk and security came right up to our room to check out the situation. It turned out to be someone at the wrong room. The only thing we didn’t like was the size of the rooms and lack of someplace to sit other than the bed(only 1 desk chair in the room). Also note there is no restaurant, snack shop or breakfast in the Hotel. Other than that we had a great stay 😉"

"Nice place"

Patio Paradise Central City 2BR Philly

8/10 Good

"It wasn't apparent from the photos, but this unit was partially in the basement of the building, which was great at night, we didn't hear anything coming from outside, but the kitchen and common area had no windows so it's a little dark. There is no Kitchen table or common area with a TV, couch, etc. If you're not planning on cooking for yourself, it's probably fine. Beds were comfortable, and each room had it's own bathroom with a shower. Everything seemed pretty clean. It's bare-bones, but comfortable enough. I was concerned about parking, but had no issues getting a spot at the end of the night."

Storehouse Lofts

10/10 Excellent

"Super convenient area with a aldis walking distance . Free on site parking was awesome for this city . Parking garage is open to the public and very dark so that was a little sketchy . But the room was awesome"

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I loved staying at this VRBO. I surprised him with a trip for the weekend for his birthday and it was perfect for what we needed ! The only thing that was frustrating was the parking situation as there is only 2 hour parking outside of this place and we did end up getting a ticket as we slept in past the two hour mark for Saturday morning, the parking is only 2 hours from 8-6 Mon-Sat, so in the future we would look for different parking that would have to be further away from the actual place. This is completely out of Akia’s control, so no fault to her, just a note I thought I should share for future renters! Thank you for everything Akia! We will definitely consider this property for future stays!"

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."
