BrotherlyLove—Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi, AC in lovely Philadelphia

Nice clean place made for a pleasant stay! It had enough room and amenities for what we needed. It was in a rough inner city neighborhood but the place was very nice. However we tried using the oven a couple times and it didn’t reach a temp over 200 degrees. The stove was nice and used it with no issues and we were able to cook. The front steps need a hand rail as we had some trouble getting up and down the stairs. But other than that we loved it and was perfect for what we needed with our 2 kids. Parking was a little difficult with it being only street parking but we managed to get a spot not too far away.

Jacob was perfect host! We stay there for 4 days and enjoyed everything in Philadelphia during America 250th birthday celebration period. Every process was easy as he explained throughout the messages, every properties were just there as indicated! Hope we can visit again!

This house was so quaint and perfect!!! Parking was a breeze! The house was so cute & cozy!!! The Host was super nice! No complaints!!! 100% recommend!!

The things that were awesome about this Vrbo rental include awesome water pressure (and ample HOT WATER) in the shower, comfortable beds with extra blankets available if needed, plenty of towels, roomy bedrooms (space for luggage!), and an updated and adequately stocked kitchen. The house is … historical? I loved the wood floors and the interesting architecture of the older home. The host communicated well and often.Two aspects of our experience form the reason for giving only 3 stars when so many things about the house were positive. First is the furniture in the gathering spaces (living room/dining area). There was only one large piece of furniture for seating in the living room. I suppose it could fit 4 bodies if we were all lined up, but it would be weird, and not conducive to conversation. The stools at the dining table were okay for quick meals, but they were essentially the only group seating options, and they were a bit stiff and uncomfortable after any length of time. So, adding more furniture so guests can hang out together comfortably would easily turn this into a 5-star experience!The other issue we encountered was relatively minor, and very likely a one-off kind of thing. We could not get the electronic door lock to work. I believe the host said there was a recent software update or something like that. There was a contingency plan already in place - a lock box on the door containing a house key.I appreciated free parking (it’s residential).
