Arrived 1030pm but left next morning. RENTER BEWARE! Upon entering, a dozen large flies encircled us. Spent half hour killing them. The photo shopped pics are deceiving. Place is rundown/dingy. Carpet in bedroom was so disgusting family refused to walk on it barefoot (we have pics). A/C in bedroom is window unit and is noisy as heck. It had hard time cooling down apartment. Living area only had a standing fan. Upon opening pullout couch, dirt & crumbs dropped out. The owner sent pics of what he told us were taken by his cleaners to prove unit was clean. They were clearly professional photos not taken after the crew prepped the space as many items in the pics were not even in unit. Contacted owner next morning to tell him we vacated the unit. He told us if we had contacted him within 4 hours of arrival we could have had refund. “You cannot stay for free then request refund”, he said. “Would have had you depart that night if you were unhappy with listing.". (So, we are to call guy at midnight & try to find another place to stay at that hour)? We offered to pay for night stayed there but requested refund for remaining nights; he refused. To add insult to injury, he told us there were no flies in the unit (so we are lying?) and TV worked despite us following his jerry rigged instructions. We did a little research and noticed owner has at least 5 rental units in area. The reviews were underwhelming. Many folks had issues dealing with this money-grubbing guy.

This vrbo is located in a prime location near restaurants and shops and is a short walk to Swarthmore College. The communication was great and the apartment as advertised. We'll look to stay here again if we return to the area. Thank you!

Everything was as described, super easy check-in and out. Great space for two and super close to train, Swarthmore Village and the college. 5 stars all around!

Generally good. Property manager was responsive to any issues

This is the perfect cottage for a stay in Swarthmore. Great location, comfortable, and so convenient. Russell is super responsive and a great host. Can’t wait to bring my family back in April!

Everything went well. I used the rental for starting a new job in the area. Everything I needed was there. There could have been a little more hot water for showering but if you were fast it was ok.

Great place, location is awesome and it was the perfect little spot for our family to stay. Would stay again and recommend!

This cozy apartment has all you need for a nice, quiet stay in Swarthmore. It's located across from the regional commuter train (but is very quiet), and a block from the campus. There is a great local coffee shop within a block, as well as local food options within 5 minutes. Great location for visits in the area, as well as using the SEPTA trains to get to center City.

Location is great. We ate at 3 great casual restaurants within a block or two, attended a farmer's market Saturday morning and attended 2 events within easy walking distance. Dedicated parking was a big plus.

Property was a little dated; front door could use a little paint. The hot water was definitely an issue given the weather. Nice location.

Wonderful small town feel. Over the weekend downtown (75 feet away) hosted a food truck and live music festival on one day and on another they had a market. Plenty of options for food. Train was a football field away and was a straight shot into the city! Great time!

Great location and owner was nice and available. The picture set an expectation that this was a bright modern place. It is darker and more dated that the picture represents Air conditioner was loud and had to run 24/7 to keep it bearable in the space.

The cottage is absolutely perfect for those visiting Swarthmore. Steps away from the train, five to ten minutes to the college, and right around the corner from great coffee, great pizza, and killer co-op. Just lovely and so easy. Will definitely be back!

A cute, small and cozy cottage, just right for a couple of nights if you're needing quick access to the college. Located right in the center of the "ville", restaurants and shops are a few minutes walk away (great coffee shop around the corner). Russ is a wonderful host, very accommodating, and helpful.

Russell was amazing . He really helped me to organize my stay and was very responsive to my questions! I am looking forward to staying again !
