Beautiful newly renovated 1bd 1br apartment. 1st floor (Entrance on the side Croskey St.) Location in the up and coming Point Breeze area of Philadelphia. Free street parking. About 10-15 mins from Center City, Sport Complex and Navy Yard. Also 10 mins to Passyunk Ave with lots of great restaurants and the famous Geno's Steaks. Upstairs apartment is used for Vrbo as well.
The unit was small, but very clean with nice furnishings. The host was easy to communicate with, and it wasnât hard to find parking. Sound traveled from upstairs, but the neighbors werenât loud. I wouldâve liked some basics in the kitchen like coffee, tea, salt, pepper, but overall it was a great place to stay.
This place was extremely clean and had modem appliances. The sofa bed was perfect when my son needed to stay two nights. Parking was easy (and free). There was an awesome Mexican restaurant a couple of blocks away on Snyder â El Mictian. Note that it is BYOB. Also enjoyed Eiffel Seafood and The Sardine Bar several blocks away. The host (Clinton) was very helpful and responded quickly when questions came up. I hope I can stay at Clintonâs place again.
Amazing experience with host, apartment is clean but needs sound proofing
We stayed 3 nights. First 2 were great but last night there was a loud party upstairs late into the 2 am range. Host responded quickly and came over to shut it down but it restarted. Obviously not the host's fault, but I do think it's worth mentioned, since the lack of sound proofing for the apartment made it a lot worse. The bedroom has a door that opens into the entrance and stairs of the next apartment, which unfortunately made it sound like you're in the same room with strangers. Please fix this by adding sound proofing, because there is a big gap under the door straight to the bedroom, which is an easy fix that could dramatically improve the guests experience.
Les points faibles : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
Paper-thin walls, no parking, questionable area.
Upstairs neighbor had a party and had music so loud it was like we were there. This lasted until after 11PM. There is no parking at all. There is a door that leads to the upstairs property. That is not safe. The neighbor hood was not talked about in the property review. Not safe at all.
The pictures are accurate to what you get in the actual unit. There are plates, mugs, cookware etc. if you want to bring food back to cook. Everything was clean, and things like a few towels and washcloths were provided. The AC works great, even during a heatwave.Some reviews mentioned a neighbor to the unit blasting music, and this does happen. 2 of the 4 nights we stayed it would start in the late evening, and go until around 12-12:30am. It was not a deal breaker for us, but if you're a light sleeper, or have a schedule that includes waking up early, you might want to avoid (or invest in good ear plugs). If you're in the living area it's insanely loud, but in the bedroom it's slightly quieter.The location was further south from the Downtown area than the listing on Vrbo made it look like. But I think this is a Vrbo thing and not a fault of the person listing it. It made the difference between being able to walk or driving to the things we were there for. Parking can be tricky in the evenings, but definitely not impossible. We were able to find a space no more than a street over from the property consistently. The neighborhood was generally quiet while we were there. Nothing more than hearing people going about their lives.
It was great for my older kids and myself to stay the weekend for a concert at Citizens Bank Park. Philly is NOT a clean city....at all. However, this property was decent and the inside of the home was very clean and perfect for our needs. Parking is VERY tricky. Would stay again.
We were there to attend events in sports arena area so the location was great to get there by feet or subway. The neighborhood is not the cleanest but very safeâŠwe like the local vibe to it. The only downside was the noise from the upstairs neighbours that lasted until 5:30AM. Maybe we were just not lucky.
Clean and cozy without being cramped. Ground floor always a plus. Owner is responsive and conscientious. No prob parking but I may have just gotten lucky, considering it's Philadelphia.
Affordable stay in Philly - Clean and Close to things
Very tidy, no-frills, 1 bedroom apartment with the basics. A 2 night stay here costs the same as a 1 night stay in a hotel room, which would have much less space and privacy. If you're not used to inner city living, be prepared for close quarters. There are multiple convenience stores/small grocers within an easily walkable radius of the location. There's also a park (athletic fields, playground, bike/walking track, spay park) about a 1/4 mile away. Bring your own sponge and morning necessities (sugar, coffee, tea, honey, etc). We would stay here again. Owner was very communicative and checked in to make sure our stay went okay.
Well-maintained and clean, Lack of some basic necessities.
While the property was well maintained and clean, it did present with an overall lack of basic necessities such as:
1. the lack of cleaning products for showering.
2. lack of sponge to clean dishes (although there were instructions to clean them)
Additionally, with the extra security of the ring alarm, this became a nuisance when we initially entered and had trouble disarming it while it was blaring.
Overall, it was a lovely, cozy place. The host was very sweet and responsive.
Das Haus liegt nah bei einer Bushaltestelle und man ist in ca 20 Minuten Downtown. Das Apartment ist gut eingerichtet, leider fehlen in der KĂŒche Basics wie Salz und Pfeffer, Filter fĂŒr die Kaffeemaschine... Die ersten 2 NĂ€chte waren sehr ruhig, allerdings sind dann in die obere Wohnung GĂ€ste eingezogen, die einfach nur laut waren und bis spĂ€t in die Nacht/ frĂŒhen Morgen Musik aufgedreht haben. Der Vermieter wollte nach der 1. Nacht auf die Nachtruhe hinweisen, allerdings hat es die GĂ€ste offenbar nur noch mehr angestachelt und sie waren in der 2. Nach noch lauter. Wir hatten ein Problem mit einer Lampe , darum wurde sich sofort gekĂŒmmert das war super. Auf Grund der schlechten SchalldĂ€mmung gibt's nur 4 Sterne.
