Marian S.

great!

It was an amazing place to be at to get away for a while. It was just hard trying not to disturb the neighbors but the house was overall beautiful. A lot of places nearby which was very helpful.

Great location and room.

The house is on a good location, close to many attractions. The owner was easy to get in contact with, great communication. There was plenty of room for our family.

Veronica I.

Decent Experience

Grateful to have amenities in the restroom, towels available, and it seemed clean. On the other hand, there were quite a few things that weren’t quite accommodating. One of the beds wasn’t usable and I would have like to have been warned about it prior. The a/c wasn’t working and the host wasn’t able to fix it until after our stay making it quite uncomfortable to sleep. Otherwise it was a decent experience.

Darryl J., Binghamton, NY

Not what the Dr. Ordered

Booked this place for my Brother-in-law, as I told him it was better to have a house than a hotel room...when your traveling with 4 children....When they arrived at this location, they were not happy at all....described it a being in the projects....not at all how it was described in the posting...very scetchy neighborhood, a single door with a padlock on it seperating one unit from another. They ended up going to a hotel and getting rooms, where they felt safe. Also, the posting said it was close to Seaseme St. park.....not so much. Dr. Mia needs to be a little more honest with the description of this property.

Nice place...nice value!

Dr. Mia was a great hostess...everything was ready for us when we arrived, including a wonderful aroma with a freshly lit candle. It was a great deal, and a great place. Parking seemed like it would be a challenge, but even with 3 vehicles we had no problem finding parking. I will likely stay there next time I'm in Philly too!
