The proprietor was super-helpful and friendly. We had a lot of privacy and appreciated the advice regarding nearby places to see and eat.

This was a really lovely stay. While it lacked a couple amenities- ie a TV and the ability to control the temperature of your own room- it was very quiet and clean and the host Yin was super kind and accommodating. The amenities it lacked did not dampen my opinion of the house at all. It was also perfect for a weekend stay in Philly as it was affordable and very close to all the activities we wanted to do. I would absolutely stay again.

The owner did a great job of communicating how to access the property and following up to make sure that I was able to check in without any issues. The room and en suite were immaculate and well stocked.

Never check in, confirmation stated shared bathroom, nothing in the site said anything about sharing Bathroom. Need my money back.

The properties location is a key attribute. My experience focused on the properties self-sufficient environment setting. Folks who stay there have facilities to cook for themselves. Refrigerators and cookware is there for use and you are expected to clean-up afterwards. It was a fine location to relax after visiting a few notable venues in the Philadelphia area.

Very comfy king bed & private bath. Old home, drafty & cool at night. Bring your own foodstuffs & plan to fight for space in the fridge. Cluttered kitchen & lack of dishes & utensils. No napkins or paper towels. Private free parking was a plus, neat neighborhood with lots of stately old homes, lots of parks nearby. Good communication with manager.

Not a hotel or Vrbo. LITERALLY just a room in someone's house. It started w/ getting a sketchy text asking to send photos of credit card & ID before issuing pass code to front door claiming to need it for incidentals. After several back & forth messages/phone calls with Hotels.com & location, we got it resolved. Room was pre-paid & there are zero amenities, so I'm not sure what "incidentals" they need my credit card for, but I know it's standard practice in hotels so I was making a fuss about sending sensitive credit card info to a text. Upon arrival, there is absolutely zero signage to let you know you're in the right place. You have to depend on address. If you arrive after dark, you would be hard pressed to find it because there is no outside lighting to help you see the address. Upon walking up the driveway, the sidewalk is blocked by overgrown hedges making you walk through the yard. Upon entry there is a note telling you to take off your shoes, I've never had to take my shoes off before. The entry area is in disarray with shoes in the hall and views into a cluttered kitchen & living room area. In the room there is no TV, microwave, fridge. If you want some noise in the background while preparing to go out, you just have to use your phone. Then there were NO sleeping pillows on the bed. There were 2 decorative shams & throw pillows. In the closet there was an extra blanket & 1 sleeping pillow for the King bed. Only good thing, they had a good stock of hygiene items.

Had a sweet stay! Opted for the room with a shared bathroom, never had an issue where there wasn’t access to a bathroom when I needed one. Host was welcoming and considerate to our needs. Would stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fairmount House. Our host, Yin, was a great communicator and made sure everything went well during our stay. We will be back.

The host, Yin was wonderful! She was very attentive, kind and welcoming. Met me at the property to walk me through everything when I arrived and checked in with me throughout the stay. The master bedroom was AWESOME! Very roomy and clean with tons of closet space. If you are sensitive to cold atmospheres, I stayed during the winter season and the house was quite cold in the evenings and early morning making it uncomfortable to sleep. WITH THAT SAID, I can tell it is a great place to stay during the summer, especially with the beautiful backyard.
