Disliked: Cleanliness
The place was basically as advertised. It was very close to town so we could easily get to the music festival we wanted to attend. Unfortunately, it was much less clean than anticipated. We paid a generous cleaning fee for bringing our pets and assume others have done the same, therefore I would expect a clean environment. We always bring cleaning supplies but I would not recommend walking barefoot. That said -glad we could bring our pups. They're very well behaved

Great, convenient spot

We stayed here in late 2023 and would definitely book again if we're in the Bethlehem area in the future. The surrounding neighborhood is walkable, and we found a lot of great eateries nearby. The property was clean and comfortable.

Visiting LU

Nice property- loved the Bee theme throughout. Close to Main Street (restaurants, bars, nightlife). Would have liked AC as it was hot during our stay. Nice property.

Home was very clean and location was perfect for walking to historic Bethlehem. However, its on a very busy street and is noisy at night. Communication was awful—I had to message the host at 4pm on check in day to request instructions for entering home. Messages appear to be AI generated as questions I asked went unanswered.

Good Location, needs fixing

Smooth check in process, clean but apartment needs maintenance (broken blinds, curtain rods, walls need patching, etc). Would benefit from black out curtains in the bedroom as even with the blinds closed, the bedroom was bright from the street lights. Good location in town.

No A/C and lack of actual communication

The unit is lovely if it's fall or spring. Hopefully, the heating works (we didn't need it). The unit description says that it has A/C, but we could not find any evidence of either central air or window units. The ceiling fans were very helpful and made our stay pleasant. If this had been a hot and humid weekend, we would have been miserable. It was also strange that I contacted the host twice with questions about the A/C and the wifi, but only received canned replies. Is this unit run purely with AI? Rent at your own risk. If you have a sensitive to heat/humidity, DON'T rent in the summer.
