Great host, communication was smooth and always responsive. Clean and very well decorated. Gated off street parking a big plus. All the comforts of home.

Excellent guests with great communication and responsiveness. Would highly recommend to other hosts and would certainly welcome back again.
Great neighborhood with lots of great stuff within walking distance. If you have a car with you this is great - off street parking is fab and fits a smaller to mid size vehicle. Great place to share with friends as you each have your own floor with separate bedrooms and bathrooms.

Thanks for a smooth stay at my townhouse. You’re welcome to return at any time. Btw, regarding your head’s up, the batteries in the front door lock are Duracel with full power, so not clear what problem you had.
The property and amenities were exactly what was offered. No surprises. The Owner was easy to get ahold of too. I recommend to anyone considering this property.
This house was the perfect space for myself and my colleague/friend to rest and work while we attended a conference at the convention center. The condo was comfortable, clean and we felt that we each had our own space. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.
Townhouse is lovely, comfortable, and well-kept. Less than a mile from Center City. Excellent alternative to a hotel. Free off street parking a big plus!

Thanks for having been such great guests. Come back anytime.
This was the perfect spot for our stay in Philadelphia. Close to center city, south Philly, and Penn's landing. A clean spacious townhouse with a well equipped kitchen, family room, bathrooms and bedrooms.
We had an excellent time at the property. It was clean with good amenities and communicative hosts, and was walking distance from many places we wanted to go to. --Important if you want to use the onsite parking: use a smaller vehicle! We had a small-medium sedan and it just barely fit.--
the townhouse is exactly like the pics. it's immaculate, clean and well located. it's an easy stroll to restaurant's, parks, the Italian market, the historical district and so many sites.
plus there are bike 2 separate indego bike stands, which is a fun fun way to explore Philly.
best of all, if you have a car, they have private parking.
everything went so so smoothly.
WE'LL BE BACK !

Thank you so much for your review, which includes stuff I did not mention myself in the information folder I leave for guests. You're welcome to return at any time and I would be very pleased to have your back. I hope all goes well with your grand-child!
Townhouse was just as described, and a very comfortable home away from home. We used to live in Philadelphia and were familiar with the location, being fairly central to family, friends, and favorite attractions in the city. Leslie was incredibly prompt and informative with details about access to the townhouse and resources in the neighborhood. (LOVED having such convenient, on-site parking!) We had two college-aged children with us, one who needed to stay in the townhouse and very comfortably complete on-line coursework. Would definitely come back for a stay!

Thank you so much for your review. You are welcome to return at any time and I would be thrilled to have you.
We stayed here for a long weekend, partly to take advantage of the city's sights and partly for a conference. The home is well located in a fun and eclectic neighborhood. Very walkable! The on-site parking was a definite plus, too.
Everything--and I mean everything--in the home is labeled somehow. Light switches, cabinets, remote controls. It was comical, but really very helpful.
The only criticism I have is that some of the dishes weren't very clean, so I washed them before use. The kitchen would also benefit from an electric or stove-top kettle.

There is an electric kettle and various other small appliances, such as toaster, blender, electric can-opener etc, in the upper cabinets, which must have been missed. The large amount of crockery and dishes available for guest convenience has been put thru the dish-washer by the cleaners, but some melamine dishes may remain stained, not necessaily dirty. Overall, everything in the townhouse has been set up to enhance the comfort and convenience of guests with ample equipment and furnisheings, as borne out by many guests.
My college-aged nephew and I went on a three day tour of MLB parks (PHI/WAS/BAL). We were looking for a spot where we could set up camp, but still get around to the various cities. This spot was perfect. It was in a neighborhood with lots of amenities (Starbucks and Whole Foods 1-2 blocks away), and good neighborhood charm (dog walkers, joggers, etc.) The Amtrak station was a 10 minute car ride away, so getting around the region was pretty easy.
At first when I walked in I thought it was small, but then I realized there were four total floors - far more space than the two of us needed. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom and slept quite well. I also ran into a laundry problem during the trip and having a washer and dryer on site was a huge help.
I only had to contact the property owner once with a question and she got right back to me. Check out was very minimal. We would definitely stay here again if we come to Philadelphia.
We had a great time in Philly for the World Cup. The townhouse had plenty of space for three adults and the location provided easy access to old town, SEPTA, grocery store, etc. There were plenty TV sets to watch. The free parking spot was a definite plus! The beds and linens could be updated but overall this townhouse provided us everything we needed.
A well-equipped, tidy and spacious townhouse in the heart of South Philly. Close to the shops and bars of South Street and Italian Market. Would stay here again.
Great location could visit all Philadelphia universities staying here. Would also be great for a vacation to do the historical tours of Philly. Overall no issues and would stay again!!
The townhouse was clean, comfortable and contained all the amenities necessary for a relaxing getaway. Major attractions were within walking distance. Just don't turn the lock on the back door handle as I learned the hard way, but Leslie was quick to call back and assist. Overall nice stay.

Leslyn and her family were excellent guests and a pleasure to have at the townhouse. She is a great communicator and very pleasant. They are indeed welcome to return at any time.
