Close proximity to Route 309 and Roosevelt Blvd. 9 miles from Center City. newer appliances. Accessible Parking Spots. Accepting short and long term rentals
The location as good, half way between the zoo and downtown Philly. The condo was very clean, quiet, and on-site parking which was a plus. Hala was very professional, responsive to all messages on the app. Would book again in the future.
Hala was very professional and kind. She was responsive to all messages in the app and on her phone. She was accommodating, we arrived to the property early and was willing to pay an early entry free and she allowed us to enter without any issues. The property and NO ISSUES. It was COZY. Iâve read some reviews BUT this isnât your permanent home. This is extremely suitable for a stay! The neighborhood has been the best and safest I have stayed in the Philly area. I will only stay at The Blue Gem while in Philly. Thank you Hala
I rented this property for my mother to stay in while visiting. It was very clean, quiet, and she really enjoyed her stay. Hala was very kind and welcoming. We'd definitely book it again in the future.
Great location. Beautiful place, with everything our family needed. It is in a quiet, safe neighborhood with a private parking lot and a short drive to all the Philadelphia attractions. There are many good restaurants near by and a bus stop if you feel like leaving the car behind.This place was perfect for us. We would definitely stay again.
We stayed in Hala's other apartment a couple years ago and it was great. It is 5 minutes from my Son & daughter in laws. Im sure we'll stay again until Son buys a house there.
The property is even nicer than is shown in the pictures. Everything we needed was provided. Hala, the host, was very gracious and went above and beyond for a personal issue that we had (nothing related to the property). We were there to be near family so this property was perfect. Thank you, Hala, for sharing your place with us!
I had an amazing stay at this home in Philly. The house was immaculate, well maintained, and equipped with all the features and amenities I could ask for. Everything was perfect, from the comfortable beds to the fully stocked kitchen. The location is a bit distant from the city centre, Uber costs about $40, on the other hand quiet and comfortable location. I am planning to recommend this place to all my friends in Poland.
My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights. The condo was very spacious and clean. Also really well equipped, there was coffee, tea, creamer, etc. There was plenty of hot water, the shower pressure was great. Lots of private parking. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of linens, extra towels, blankets. Communication was excellent, very quick response with clear details. We would definitely stay here again.
The Blue Gem provides lots of space for a couple and enough room for a small family. The unit is up one flight of stairs only steps from the parking lot. The main living space is large and comfortable with areas for the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Down the hall, you find a hall bathroom plus 2 bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. There's also a balcony off the living room if you want to step outside.Overall, the apartment is nicely decorated. The mattresses in the primary bedroom are new memory-foam mattresses. There are some issues due to the fact that it is an older property. For example, the shower doors in the ensuite bathroom no longer have rollers to easily open and close. You have to lift them up, move them where you want them, and then lower them back onto the track. The washer and dryer are very old and positioned where you cannot easily access the control knob because of the folding door they're behind. They're also very low capacity, so plan on doing multiple loads compared to one in most modern machines.Even with these minor issues, the unit provides a nice place to stay when visiting the greater northeast Philadelphia area. We'd recommend The Blue Gem if you're heading to Elkins Park, PA.
Overall it was a great stay and we would stay again! Parking really easy. Was easy to communicate with the host. Beds were comfortable! Location was great. The kitchen needed a deep clean but we just cleaned before we usedbthe dishes there.
