The room was very comfortable, clean. I slept really well. Bathroom and common areas of the house was clean even though it was a shared one. The hostwas very very friendly , professional, courteous and hospitable. Location wasn't bad, it was a little further to walk but easy enough to get the bus. Very close to Fairmont Street for nice cafes and restaurants . Excellent value for money!!

National Liberty Museum is 4.8 km from the homestay, while Pennsylvania Convention Center is 5.5 km away. The nearest airport is Philadelphia International Airport, 18 km from Artsy Hidden Gem --- FREE PARKING.

Becca was great at communicating in advance of my arrival, and was super helpful to ensure my stay was enjoyable. The home was really clean & spotless, and the bed was very comfortable to sleep in. The common space was really nice and the ambience & decors around the house was very warm & homey. The bathroom was separate from the bedroom, but it is just next door over. The neighborhood seems to be going through gentrification and free parking is available if you loop around the blocks. I would definitely stay here again!

The air-conditioned homestay consists of 1 separate bedroom, 1 bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries, and a seating area. Towels and bed linen are offered in the homestay. The property has an outdoor dining area.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The interior is furnished to the smallest detail. The beds are so comfortable - all in all it's the best accommodation we've stayed in so far. Even the area is not as bad / dangerous as we heard about before. No creepy people on the streets ^^ And we found a parking space just around the corner.

    Don’t be put off by the location. Yes the neighbourhood is down market and its a little dirty but the apartment is first class. There is a corner shop 2 minutes away and we found the locals very friendly. Heaps of room for a couple with full kitchen. Easy access on checkin with excellent communication. Very clean and a very comfortable Bed. The number 47 bus stops outside the apartment and it only costs $2.50 and its 10 minutes to get to Market St in the centre of Philadelphia.
