Robert and friends were excellent hosts. He was attentive to my questions about access because I use a walker/cane/wheelchair and the elevator/no steps and the apartment close to the elevator worked for me! It's not easy to find a place with no steps in the city! The bathtub is not handicap friendly though with no grab bars (We knew this though from the photos). The tub was slow to drain and we mentioned it to Robert and he answered quickly with a possible solution; however, with our schedule it wasn't practical and he said he would fix it after our stay and that was ok with us. The bathroom was clean though with good hot water and shower head. The street doesn't have much traffic and the location is convenient, but there aren't many places nearby for food except right on the corner, which looks to be very popular. We really enjoyed the apartment and felt safe and we had everything we needed to dine in every meal. We would return here in the future! Thank you Robert and Friends!!

Property was clean and looked as described with a stocked kitchen. The check in process required some extra assistance from the host due to a power outage though the issue was resolved quickly. Street parking was always available without extra cost. Conveniently located between downtown and UPenn. Would stay again!

Robert was a great host who provided clear instructions and was responsive to any questions that came up. The place was cozy, clean, and the air conditioner was awesome (this is a big plus for me). This was my first solo airbnb trip so I was a bit anxious, but I felt super safe here and it was easy to check in, go in and out, and was an awesome home-base while checking out West Philly.
