Know what it is & what it’s not

Overall I was pleased at my stay. My apartment was clean & attractive, & convenient location-wise. I was nervous about the negative reviews. But I was able to communicate via text voice. They were responsive & up front about when they were not available. As some reviewers mentioned, I was assigned a different apt from my original place. Honestly it didn’t matter to me because I didn’t pick it based on a specific unit (more concerned about the location). New Location was fine. A little confusion about getting in but was able to call/text and got instant response. I paid more than normal because it was a busy weekend in Philly and hard to find availability. So I was disappointed that it didn’t have at least a serving or two of coffee and was missing some other things. Luckily I brought some Starbucks Via and made it work. I think the description was misleading—-maybe because it was on Hotels.com. The description said it had a restaurant, spa, a gym, and a business center. I think there was a Renaissance hotel close by…was THAT what they referred to? Because this was a condo and had none of those things except the nearby businesses. So read carefully but also read the reviews. I had read about the $500 security deposit but was taken aback at sending it through Venmo to an individual. I only just checked out today so it’s too early to say whether I get the deposit back. I have no reason to think I won’t. I liked the place.

This place is a scam. They try to charge for extra things after booking and refuse to provide access unless you pay an extra $500.

A nightmare. I will NEVER book with them ever.

I booked the room for 3 days, the original place I booked had problems so they dicides to offered me another room. They have no parking, I had to pay valet parking next door $50 a day. At first everything looked good till i notices stains on the sofa, the bathroom and the master bedroom had no working light bulps. The pots were dirty and the coffe maker had mold. I had spent what I had for those three days so I had to stay there. I also made a refundable deposit of $500 that was supposed to be refunded back to me after 2 days after check out. It's been about 3 weeks and I haven't received the deposit and I tried multiple times to contact the owner but they've decided to ignored me.

Complicated and not prepared to host

Only spent 6 hours here because the first day of the trip the room was not ready and we had to be sent to another hotel across the street it was definitely nice but the next day we had to pack up and move again the second day of the trip I couldn’t use the room until after 3pm this is not a hotel but an apartment it reeked of fresh cut onions it looked like a rushed clean still dirty (kitchen) no soap or even bottled water, living room tv did not work, I spent 30 mins trapped in the lobby because no one was at the front desk and I wasn’t instructed to use a key fob for the elevators I was buzzed up initially, while my 7year old was stuck on the 13th floor.

Perfect size for one or two people. Manager was very communities and accommodating. The room could have been cleaner and the general build of the apartment was a little claustrophobic at times for a man of my size (6’3”). All in all a good stay.

Overall, this was a good place. The location was great. It is probably a tad small for two regular size people (queen bed and the futon is small). But it served the purpose we needed and very convenient. If you want to stay in the city and do not need frills, then this is a good place.

Pretty good, but some problems

We booked this location and was moved to a nearby apartment due to broken toilet. Unclear whether new apartment was worth the same amount. In the replacement apartment there was very wet floor in bathroom when we arrived. Host only communicated via text and asked us to send ID via photo. He brought up that smoking in the apartment incurs fines on three separate occasions which was over the top considering neither of us smoke. Apartment was comfortable and clean otherwise. Air conditioning was great. Location is pretty good!
