Very pleasant owner
It was a little confusing trying to find the property because i’m from Upstate NY and have never been to Philadelphia before. However the owner never hesitated to be available to help

The property itself is fine if you’re just needing a space to sleep. I had a frustrating experience after booking the reservation because I been trying to add an additional night to the reservation for a week with no response. I kept getting emails from VRBO asking me to respond with more information (how much more do you need than “I want to add an extra night?), but the email was sent from a “do not reply” address. It was past the time to cancel so I booked an extra/separate night and had to incur those additional fees. The host didn’t seem to be aware of this. So that might be a vrbo issue.
The instructions said the entrance is in the back, but did not explain that to get to the back, you have to walk around the block and hike up an alley that is all gravel and rocks. I was dropped off in front with a large bag and 2 big carry-ons, and then had to take that walk with all of that.
The only instructions for the lock on the door was what the code would be but not how to use the actual lock.
There were gnats flying around in the bedroom. The towels were dingy. And the room itself was damp.
That said, I just needed a place to sleep for 2 nights and had full days where I was away from the property, so it worked out ok. There was also a lot of heavy footsteps from the space above, but I’ve lived in basement apartments before and it comes with the territory.
The host was nice and responsive once I got there and bed was comfortable.

Weekend vacation
This stay was nice & accommodating for the night- the check in proceeds was confusing because we had to go thru the alley way, it didn’t state it was in someone’s basement so that was odd but overall i good stay

Just what I needed
It was a short visit to Philly for me. I was attending a conference and even though this was not that close to the convention center it was easy to Uber back and forth and was a great place to stay!
Our host was very responsive in suggestions for nearby places to go for coffee and to eat.

Great value
Everything is as described; it is a windowless basement apartment. The entry is off of a trash-strewn alley with uneven and broken concrete paving. The listing mentioned that the unit included an iron and ironing board, which would have been useful. Apparently, the board had been broken by a previous guest. The owner was willing to provide the iron without the board, which we appreciated, but didn't suit our needs. It would have been helpful to know this ahead of time.

Spacious basement unit near the Mann
The interior of the unit was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy and had good bedding and lots of pillows. The unit is sparsely furnished and could use a few things to make it more comfortable. Also the entrance required a walk through an alley. My husband and I are city folks so it was fine but someone not comfortable with the city might not like this.

Philly getaway
Lovely basement apartment with lots of room. Great bathroom and wonderful king bed. Hosts were helpful and understanding. The only issue someone might have is with all the scents- diffusers- used. Otherwise it is terrific!
