We enjoyed the house with its updated kitchen and bathrooms. Also appreciated the king sized beds with comfy mattresses in 3 of the bedrooms. Living room couch was very inviting as well. Fancy coffee maker, well stocked kitchen.

Thank you for your review! Would you mind elaborating a bit more as to why we weren't a 5 star stay? From our perspective, we agreed to let you in the property early, had it ready for the furry pals, and was available to let you back into the property when you left your engagement ring. If there was something else that made the stay less than a 5 star, please inform us so that we can make the adjustments.

Great stay! The host communicated efficiently and replied quickly when we had questions during our stay. There were plenty of extra towels and blankets. The only issue we had, which wasn't with the actual property itself, was a dog on one of the neighbor's back porch that barks all day long. So, if you plan to sleep in, be prepared to hear the neighbors barking dog.

Perfect getaway for family or group of friends

Eight of us travelled to Philadelphia to celebrate a family birthday. We stayed in this lovely home for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The home was beautifully decorated and maintained, spotless, and included many nice amenities. Host was very helpful and accommodating. The home had one parking spot, but we had no difficulty finding street parking for additional cars. It was easy for us to get from this location to many neighboring towns in the Philadelphia area. We would definitely consider returning to this home in the future.
