2 bedroom duplex Apt in west oak lane
Marc was a great host and the space was very comfortable. The check-in process was straightforward and the neighborhood was quiet with ample street parking at all hours. He kindly provided towels and toothbrushes for use. The curtains around the house are a little thin and don’t cover the windows entirely, especially in the bedrooms. But otherwise an excellent stay!

La Kaye Fle'(The Flower House) Exec Ste with Pool
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot to spend our weekend while visiting family! We first met Dona sitting amongst the ghouls and goblins handing out Halloween candy to the neighborhood kids! We knew immediately we had found the perfect spot to stay and will definitely be back next time visiting our family. If you are heading to Media at Halloween you are in for a real treat of family, friends and neighbors celebrating one of the Best holidays ever!

Amazing stay, host was very helpful!

Lovely 1-bedroom unit with parking on premises
We had such a lovely stay at Jeanette’s place while attending my 20-year reunion at Swarthmore College. The place was impeccably clean and thoughtfully stocked, the bed was super-comfortable, the location was perfect (a nice 25-minute-ish walk to campus), and Jeanette was wonderfully communicative and accommodating throughout. Highly recommend!

Luxe Studio w/ City Views | Near Fishtown
Had an excellent stay at Vincent’s place. The unit was cozy and had enough space for two. There were several venues and eateries within walking distance of the property. And Center City was a close drive. I would stay here again!

Lemon St. Retreat
We had a lovely time at the Lemon St. place while visiting family in Media. The location is great for access to the many local businesses, and the town is very walkable. We highly recommend Warren's place!

The Airport Lodge
Great location if you want to stay in close proximity to airport. Place is small, but great for just 2 people. Her directions to the place were great, I was able to find it quickly and I loved that I was able to park right outside the door.

#1 Philadelphia Downtown Studio W/ Cozy (King Bed)
John's place has everything we needed while we were apartment hunting in the area. Easy to accesss and very responsive host. Great stay would highly recommend it!

King size bed condo all cherry wood cabinets/floor
I have to say that Skeitha and her place are both amazing! My first trip to PA, I had questions and she was always so quick to respond! Her place was cozy and looked just like the photos, it is very quiet and peaceful where her unit is. I spoke to her thru the entire duration from Friday-Monday and it was like having a big sister and I was staying at her place! She made me and my daughter feel more than welcome and she was very accommodating. If I come back that way I will 100% stay here again! Thank you for such a great stay, we truly appreciated everything.

2nd floor awesome apartment
Steve’s place was exactly as described! He was very responsive and gave very clear instructions for checking in and out. We were in town for a two day concert at Lincoln Financial Field and felt safe walking to and from both nights. Great location for what we had planned and would definitely stay again when we’re in town for another event!

Private Suite
Diane was a fantastic host and the place was perfect for our family. Diane went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and are extremely kind people.

Amazing 2 Bedroom Retreat With Sauna & Jacuzzi
Enjoyed our stay at Jon's place. I loved the bright and open feel of the space! All areas were very clean and everything was in working order. I do wish the hot tub water was able to get warmer, although water tank/temp information was clearly stated in the listing, so as to no fault of the host. The sauna was perfect to help warm up after a full day of cold rain. Most importantly Jon was super friendly and did not hesitate to reach out to help me with an inquiry of mine, never made me feel like a bother and even communicated to follow up afterwards.

Roomy Family Getaway*Philadelphia *Metro*Whirlpool
Spent a few days in Philadelphia for a graduation. The home was located in a convenient area with pubic transportation right outside the door. We traveled to campus several times a day and it was easy to get there and back. Spacious and comfortable during our stay. Parking is across the street but easily walkable to the home. Easy check in/out.

*Modern Studio | In-room Jacuzzi at Spring Garden
Made the choice for my wife and I to stay here for a expo at the convention center and it was easy and the travel between was within minutes. The stay pretty much reminded me of a hotel, had multiple amenities, and the hosts were super quick and responsive. The Jacuzzi was a big plus thay my wife and I were able to enjoy after a long tour around Philly. Overall, a really great stay and we would definitely come back again for the next con.

My stay at Christopher's apartment was an all-around positive experience. The place was clean, modern, and well-equipped – just as described. The location is quiet yet well connected, making it a great base for exploring Philadelphia. The neighborhood felt safe and pleasant. What stood out the most was Christopher’s hospitality: he was always available, very helpful, and even gave me great restaurant recommendations that really enhanced my stay. Check-in was smooth and everything went perfectly. I’d definitely come back and can warmly recommend this place!
