Tri weekend getaway

Yin is an excellent hostess! Our room was very quiet and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Just what I needed since I got up before sunrise to compete in the Women’s Philly Tri. Keep in mind out of courtesy you do need to leave your shoes at the foyer rack but I do that in my home too-so no biggie for me. There is a $30 cleaning fee to be paid to Yin at check in (additional cost to what you pay on Hotels.com but worth it)-keep in mind. I felt very safe in her home-lock box and code for each guest room. It was a perfect night’s stay and had everything I needed for a very restful night. I will definitely return as a guest again.

Attentive host

Yin, the host, was very communicative and attentive throughout our stay. She gave clear instructions for self check-in and check-out. Quiet area with lots of on-street parking available, and conveniently located near the Mann Center for concerts and events. Be sure to read the fine print during booking, because there is a $30 cleaning fee owed to the host at the time of your stay. Amenities and decor are basic, but the bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy. You may want to bring some extra bed pillows, as there were several accent pillows on the bed, but only two sleeping pillows provided. Overall, I would consider a one-night stay here again, especially due to the host’s communication and the house being conveniently located to the Mann.

This was a really lovely stay. While it lacked a couple amenities- ie a TV and the ability to control the temperature of your own room- it was very quiet and clean and the host Yin was super kind and accommodating. The amenities it lacked did not dampen my opinion of the house at all. It was also perfect for a weekend stay in Philly as it was affordable and very close to all the activities we wanted to do. I would absolutely stay again.

Philadelphia - May 2024

The properties location is a key attribute. My experience focused on the properties self-sufficient environment setting. Folks who stay there have facilities to cook for themselves. Refrigerators and cookware is there for use and you are expected to clean-up afterwards. It was a fine location to relax after visiting a few notable venues in the Philadelphia area.

Very comfy king bed & private bath. Old home, drafty & cool at night. Bring your own foodstuffs & plan to fight for space in the fridge. Cluttered kitchen & lack of dishes & utensils. No napkins or paper towels. Private free parking was a plus, neat neighborhood with lots of stately old homes, lots of parks nearby. Good communication with manager.

This place does NOT belong on Hotels.com

Not a hotel or Vrbo. LITERALLY just a room in someone's house. It started w/ getting a sketchy text asking to send photos of credit card & ID before issuing pass code to front door claiming to need it for incidentals. After several back & forth messages/phone calls with Hotels.com & location, we got it resolved. Room was pre-paid & there are zero amenities, so I'm not sure what "incidentals" they need my credit card for, but I know it's standard practice in hotels so I was making a fuss about sending sensitive credit card info to a text. Upon arrival, there is absolutely zero signage to let you know you're in the right place. You have to depend on address. If you arrive after dark, you would be hard pressed to find it because there is no outside lighting to help you see the address. Upon walking up the driveway, the sidewalk is blocked by overgrown hedges making you walk through the yard. Upon entry there is a note telling you to take off your shoes, I've never had to take my shoes off before. The entry area is in disarray with shoes in the hall and views into a cluttered kitchen & living room area. In the room there is no TV, microwave, fridge. If you want some noise in the background while preparing to go out, you just have to use your phone. Then there were NO sleeping pillows on the bed. There were 2 decorative shams & throw pillows. In the closet there was an extra blanket & 1 sleeping pillow for the King bed. Only good thing, they had a good stock of hygiene items.
