The property was nice overall. It was walkable and quiet neighborhood. Only downfall is furniture downstairs did not allow us to hang because the love seat seemed to be for a kid and the couch was not comfortable to relax.

Judith thank you for taking the time to provide a review following your group’s stay at The Prime. Our goal is provide our guests with an above beyond stay with a deliberate personal touch and a vibe of feeling right at home. That is an interesting perspective about the furniture. Our furniture choices are part of our decor/home. And honestly never received any complaints/disapproval. The main floor has an open layout that provides seating for 14 (if “hang” time was needed for your group of 8) Even though we have never received comments regarding our furniture in a disappointing fashion. We would have no problem if you/your group moved the first level seating around to accommodate your specific needs during your stay. Thanks again & Best regards

The location of this rental was fantastic. Easily walkable to many great Philly spots. The Italian market is just a couple blocks away and had this fantastic coffee shop, Anthony’s.The host of this VRBO stocked this place so well with thoughtful items, like make up removers, q-tips, bottled waters, chocolates, etc. Made the stay even better!

This was a wonderful house for our family. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well furnished and the common spaces were perfect. To top it off the location was fantastic for seeing Philadelphia because we could walk the one mile into the city. The host communication was excellent.
