Double Booked! Disaster!
VRBO verified our reservation (made Feb 2, 2023) as did our host. A half hour before check in our reservation was cancelled by the host! We had travelled 5 hours to Swarthmore & then had no where to stay. There were already other people in the apartment! We attempted to contact the host, left a msg, & were never called back. In fact, the people in the apartment told us they'd had an issue with the parking permit. The host never returned their call & they went to the police station to resolve it. I'd say this host is a mess!!!

Cute little apartment
This apartment was so perfect for me and my two little kids and my aunt and uncle. We were visiting family in the area I grew up in Springfield 3 miles away. It was walkable to so many conveniences, the train is across the street which my uncle took to the city and on to NYC for a few days. The downtown has cafes, wine bars, little toy shop my kids loved, the library and a park within walking distance. The house is plenty big enough, lots of stairs bc it's above shops but it was okay. I wish they had a baby gate available for the top of the stairs but that's just an idea. They had a pack and play, and comfortable beds. I felt a little nervous that the lock code doesn't change between visitors. We stayed for two stays with a break for the weekend in the middle when we went camping and the code didn't change leaving me feeling like anyone could go in that had that code at any time. But I know it's a safe area so I tried not to think too hard on that. The parking was a little difficult. The listing says it has parking but I guess they have own spot that multiple listings in the building share. Parking in the neighborhood was confusing to figure out what is okay overnight. Only issue is that we were charged for extra people we didn't have. The host said they'd send it back but we didn't get it. I'm sure they just forgot. Also the auto message said second time staying gets a 10% discount but we didn't get that either. I think it's an VRBO issue with their website not a host issue however. Overall great trip we hope to stay again!

We will always seek to book this VRBO anytime we go to Swarthmore. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. Walked to everything most of the time.

August wedding
Very nice location and well kept space. To overnight park, there is only 1 parking pass for a vehicle in the 12 hour spots on a nearby road, otherwise you have to overnight park in the 300 block of park avenue because swarthmore has a. I overnight parking rule. Window AC units work really well overnight in each room, but some of the common areas get hot in the august heat and humidity.

Very Comfortable
This was our first experience with Vrbo, and Russell was very accommodating with my questions. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It’s above shops, so there are stairs, but the apartment has everything you would need, so you won’t find yourself running out to get forgotten things except for food. We will definitely consider staying here again.
