It was the perfect place to make our home base for a long weekend exploring Philadelphia. Everything we needed was clean and provided.

The apartment was decent, had all the essentials and the location is nice for access to Center City. I was glad for AC, but it was extremely loud. It was also easy to hear neighbors which was annoying at times. But all in all a fine stay on a budget.

Christmas get away

The apartment was clean and just like pictures. There were bare minimum of bedding and the futon in the living room was broken. Unfortunately the people in the apartment above were very loud and made sleeping difficult. The location was good. Easy walk to center city a restaurants.

Good for the price

Good side: The listing was accurate, clean and practical appartment. The pressure in the shower was very good. Needs improvement: Curtains in the twin bedroom would be a must.

The listed pictures were deceiving. The bathroom was not cleaned. The toilet seat was disgusting, it needs replaced. The walls are paper thin, you can hear noise and conversations. No on site parking. This should have been listed, because we had to pay 35.00 to pay in a lot a few blocks away. There was piles of garbage out front and several people were rooting through the piles. We ended up not staying, we drove home after our event.

Not as advertised

The pictures on the listing don’t show the graffiti on the building and the bars on the 1st floor windows. Instead of full shampoo/conditioner/body wash as advertised, I was given a travel size shampoo/conditioner/lotion bottle for 3 people for 5 days. There were only 3 spoons, 4 forks and 3 knives so I was constantly doing dishes. The view shown on the ad is not the one from the VRBO I was in. The neighborhood is sketchy, but is about 2 blocks from a nicer neighborhood. I had booked full day activities which didn’t leave time to find another place, otherwise I would have moved. The shower pressure was good and the bathroom walls and floors were nice.

Callowhill family stay

We enjoyed our stay. Place was clean and owner communicated well. Check in was easy, unit was well equipped for our needs. 15 minute walk to Reading Market/ convention center. 20 ish minutes to Franklin Institute/ Philly museum of art (Rocky statue)/ Drexel Academy of Natural Science. Uber to Citizens Bank Park was easy enough, train was an option as well. Adequate linens and toiletries were provided. Not the best bed I’ve ever slept in, but it wasn’t bad. Springs were a touch noisy is the only real complaint. Great pizza across the street. Only time we cooked in the unit was reheating said pizza. I wouldn’t say is was well equipped but it had some plates and stuff. The area near the unit is in transition a bit. Never felt unsafe, but there was a perceived roughness from several of the nearby shops. (Beer store and small market) Mixed in were what seemed to be new hip places. The owner of the pizzeria confirmed to me the area is evolving and has changed a lot over the last 3 years or so. I would totally stay here again if I was going back to Philly for the market and museums.

As a midwesterner, I wouldn’t say this is family-friendly.

1) I had to wait until the day of check in to get the door security codes. I didn’t get the WiFi information until we were already inside. I have booked other condo/apartment rentals and that kind of information is usually sent in a comprehensive email with all details well in advance. 2) the parking “behind the building” is only accessed through a small alley type street. It should really fit one car parked horizontally but it is set up for 2 cars to be parked vertically but you could never fit any 2 normal size sedan, SUV or minivan in these spots. 3) we are on a 2 week east coast trip, so we have a minivan full of luggage/supplies. We had to park in front of the building in a “loading zone” to empty the van and carry it all up a narrow, old staircase. 4) because we couldn’t fit in the space behind the unit, we parked in a secure garage 7-10 minutes away for $32/day. 5) the bedrooms need room darkening window coverings. The second “bedroom” (no closet, very small) has no curtain at all. This room has a small I k e a type bunk bed that is flipped backwards so the ladder is not accessible. 6) the area feels sketchy for someone not from an urban area. Many homeless people around. Good-inside the apartment is true to the photos. It was pretty clean. It wasn’t too far away from a safer part of town.
