My partner and I had a very wonderful time staying at this charming place! Susan was an incredible host! We loved every single bit of our stay! The bathroom is AMAZING! We really enjoyed eating our take-out dinner on the balcony, enjoying the cool breeze. The reservation process & correspondences with Susan was convenient & quick! Susan was very quick to response our questions & provide our needs. On the next morning of our stay, we had our breakfast in Susan's gorgeous backyard. The environment was perfect. We both were very impressed with this place and will definitely come back to stay here again!

Susan and Robert were considerate in accommodating a last minute reservation request. The room was lovely with many personal touches and a large wardrobe for hanging clothes. The bathroom was just a couple of steps away across the hall and was tiled with a pebble floor in the shower and a rainfall shower head. All remodeled and quite pretty. Bright Windows overlooked a quiet, residential neighborhood with adequate parking available. We were catching a flight out of Philly and the airport was just a few minutes away and so very convenient. Susan prepared a breakfast with varying breads and jams to get us on our way. The special treat were their 2 dogs, Roscoe and Daisy, who were adorable and were quite the characters. We would highly recommend to fellow travelers.

Susan's craftsmen-style home is nestled on a quiet street under beautiful trees. It is convenient to the campus and very comfortable. The breakfast she serves is as attractive as it is delicious.

Great location and beautiful home.

Susan and her husband were very warm and welcomed me into their beautiful home, which is in a very nice neighborhood and community. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely consider staying there again when next in the area.

Great location - short stretch of the legs to train station and campus. Susan is respectful of resources so I was happy to have a comfortably cold room with plenty of blankets. Breakfast could have been enhanced with an egg or fresh juice while I was well fed well on campus. I believed the shower/WC was just off the bedroom so there was a picosecond getting past the the middle space of several doors and the stairwell. Aside from that - I'd stay again. She was very accomadatng to time needs and day changes and all you could hope for a good nights stay.

Susan and her husband were really nice. And the location is perfect for college visit.

The house was comfortable to be in and to see, with many plants. The room was lovely and Susan provided us with a pitcher of water and glasses. The town is a short walk away and very easy to navigate.

Our stay at Mark's Airbnb was just fantastic starting from the warm welcome we received, the attention to details like providing us with juice, bagels and all the fixings in our little kitchen area and even special night time lighting for the stairs, hall and bathroom making it safe and easy to navigate the new surroundings. The beds were very comfortable, with ample climate control options: from air conditioning to fans and windows making the stay comfortable in any weather. Waking to birds chirping in his well kept luscious yard was another added bonus. The wifi connection was very good and easy to access. And finally the decor, fossils, books and unique knick-knacks were endlessly entertaining. The location was also excellent providing easy access to the Swarthmore Ville and the campus. I wish I had found this place sooner and will definitely recommend to any other Swarthmore college parents and others in the future.

Mark was very patient with us, as our arrival time was a moving target, due to heavy traffic. Although he had been up very early that morning and had been working all day, he stuck it out and waited for us to arrive so he could meet us personally and provide us with a tour. He even made a map of the area surrounding The Tower Theater (our ultimate destination) with parking recommendations, which proved very helpful. The space was ample and everything we expected. My husband commented that while it felt like we had our own private living quarters, Mark was accessible to meet our needs. The bagels, coffee, tea, and water were definitely a plus! Swarthmore is a lovely, quaint town and much closer to Upper Darby and Philadelphia than we expected. Mark's house is in a great location and the area was easy to navigate. We felt that our first experience with an AirBNB was a successful one, and we thought it was a great value.

Mark's place is really lovely. It has everything you could need for a short stay. The place is well located near Swarthmore - we were visiting - and suburban Philly. Very charming furnishings and well stocked. Mark is easy to communicate with. Would stay again.

Mark's place is clean and comfortable. He has carefully thought through what a guest could need and provided more than expected -- including access to the Washington Post, the latest New Yorker and fresh bagels along with the coffee and tea in the unit's mini kitchen! Thanks Mark!

Had a wonderful stay at Mark's. The area is spacious and Mark thought of everything - he even brought some bagels and yummy snacks for us. Would definitely stay again!

Great host. Very helpful and friendly. The apartment fit all of our needs and we were very happy with the trip.

Mark is an amazing host! He was kind, attentive, and willing to be helpful and make suggestions of local and touristy places. His place is clean and comfortable and really has an awesome, chill vibe. My best friend and I stayed there and felt safe. The area is great and was really close to everything we needed. Mark said he wanted us to feel like we were staying with a friend, and that mission was accomplished!

Mark was an amazing host, went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and has access to whatever resources I needed. He had a binder with a list of local places to check out similar to a hotel. He was very hospitable and I highly recommend him!

Nice and very helpful

Her house is on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. The back yard is very beautiful. The room was very clean. The dog and cats were very friendly and cute. The breakfast was the best! Nice table setting, delicious homemade foods. We had a great time there. Thank you Jo-Ann!

Jo-ann is a wonderful and welcoming host. She provided an easy check-in, accommodating my early arrival. Staying in her spacious home includes a lovely breakfast!

Jo-Ann is really an awesome host. I loved the breakfast that she had prepared for me. The room was exactly as shown in the photos and I found this area to be extremely safe. I walked to the nearby restaurant even during nite time. There is bus stops nearby this area and it's really convenient for me to travel around the Delaware county to settle my things. I would highly recommend this place for new comers and students looking for a place to stay.

Thx u Joann. Great spot in a great town. It worked well for me.

Jo-Ann welcomed me even though I arrived late. She showed me where everything was, asked about my breakfast preferences and made sure I understood where she was and that she was reachable at any time. She was able to accommodate me although I made the request just a few hours in advance of my stay. Yummy breakfast in the morning-ready when I was! Thanks Jo-Ann. If I have the occasion to return, you'll see me.

Joann was accommodating when I booked at the last minute and serves a lovely breakfast. Very close to Swarthmore College as well.

Jo-Ann was a wonderful host -- flexible with her check-in and check-out schedule. The house is perfectly located on a quiet street, and the room is large and comfortable. I can't wait to return.

Great location. Swarthmore is a lovely neighbourhood. Old trees, beautiful properties. Walking distance to train, to village. Tennis courts nearby. Quiet and convenient apartment. Very confortable. Hosts are perfect. Train passes nearby, but we got used to it the very first day. A white noise machine is provided in each room just in case. No cable but Netflix is offered. Would rent again when back in the area.

Aurora was an excellent host: very clear in her communication and very prompt in her replies to my questions. The apartment itself was lovely -- two bedrooms with full beds, as well as an available air mattress, plus a comfortable common room and kitchen space. Aurora provided coffee as well as milk and farm fresh eggs, for a truly special and at-home feel to the apartment. It was a perfect place to stay while visiting Swarthmore College for the weekend!

Very nice place to stay, close to the main roads and to Swarthmore college. Fully equiped with brand new appliances and gear. Very clean. Prompt and friendly communication by the owner. Would stay here again!

I had a wonderful 3 week stay at Aurora's place. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood. The apartment has all the amenities of home and Aurora was an amazing host. She made sure that I had everything I needed and checked on me frequently.

The host canceled this reservation 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I loved staying here. Everything was clean and neat and cozy. There is a full kitchen and laundry machines, so we were able to cook our own meals without having to leave. Aurora and her family and welcoming and wonderful and she was kind and helpful throughout our stay. Will definitely be looking to stay there again if we ever have the need!

This was a great place to stay, within a short walk to Swarthmore College, downtown, & the train station. Very spacious, recently renovated, nice owner, Netflix, comfy beds, full kitchen. Highly recommend it if you're visiting Swarthmore!

My family stayed here during a visit for my son's graduation. The house was very spacious and had a peaceful nature backdrop. Abbey was polite and accommodating, and was kind to prepare flowers to welcome our arrival. Well-trained pets were a big plus and were a delight to have around. We especially appreciated the close proximity to the beautiful local college campus and shopping centers.

My family greatly enjoyed their stay at Cynthia's lovely home. She went far out of her way to make sure that we felt welcome and at home. Plenty of space for ten people and a lovely back deck and yard.

We loved our stay at Cynthia's home. We were two families - two couples, three young adults, and a dog - and the house was perfect for us. Five bedrooms, all comfortable; a roomy family room with a deluxe TV; a well-equipped kitchen with all the staples; and a lovely deck and backyard where we ate most of our meals while the dog enjoyed the yard on the dog lead. Getting into the house was simple, and Roger and Cindy provided helpful info. Swarthmore itself is a charming town with a lovely campus, and we enjoyed several beautiful walks. Altogether a great weekend!

Good location close to the school

Host was kind and very accessible. Neighborhood was quaint. House was large enough to accommodate extended family coming in for a wedding. Beds were very comfortable. Host warned about all debris in and around house due to current Reno in her note after we arrived. Steep $350 cleaning fee and a surprise $150 linen fee not mentioned in additional fees was misleading. Overall, has great potential to be a good Airbnb.

We had a wonderful weekend at this spacious house conveniently close to Swarthmore College, where we were attending a reunion. A well-stocked kitchen allowed us to cook some meals. Alas, it was overcast/drizzling so we didn't get a chance to enjoy the big back yard and grill. It's definitely a great place to stay if you have a group of people. I hope to return for the next reunion in two years!

The Swarthmore Home is inviting and charming--and so is its host, Cynthia. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for a family reunion while we toured the surrounding area, enjoying history and heritage. Every amenity possible is provided and care is taken for guests to feel completely at home and relaxed, making it easy for each one of us to find a cozy spot throughout the many well-furnished rooms. In the spacious, lovely backyard patio area, we loved watching the fireflies flit in the night sky. Our trip was greatly enhanced by having such a wonderful place to stay.

Cindy was very easy to work with and a good communicator...and she baked us a cake! The house is very big and was in good condition. It is a little quirky and they are in the middle of renovations but everything is in working order. We enjoyed our stay.

This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I have had. The room (more like a suite, with a TV sitting room and bathroom) was lovely and comfortable, and Carol and Gordon were exceptionally warm and welcoming. The house is walking distance to Swarthmore, so perfect for parents visiting the school. Not only did I have a perfect stay, but I got an unexpected gift. Carol, an Edith Wharton scholar, introduced me to Wharton's amazing short stories, for which I am very grateful. Now I hope I have occasion to come back!

I had a wonderful stay with Carol and Gordon. The second floor accommodations were spacious, bright, modern, and clean. The location was lovely, and I got around the Swarthmore campus, the town center, and to and fro the rail station on foot without problem. Great location for visiting Swarthmore and Philadelphia. Carol and Gordon were very hospitable and knowledgeable about the area. They made me feel right at home and I would definitely stay with them again!

Wonderful stay! Clean, close to Swarthmore College and comfortable!

Carol and Gordon were fantastic hosts. This space included a bedroom, bathroom, and common area upstairs with a door to make it private. Everything was very modern. Carol was willing to help with anything we needed and even made coffee and muffins in the morning. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Swarthmore area.

Great stay with Carol and Gordon, they made me feel welcome during my business trip. Bed and bedroom were comfortable and clean. Loved the area, went for a run through Swarthmore College.

This space was clean, fresh, and a perfect fit for my visit to Swarthmore. Walk just over half a mile north, and you’re at the Springfield Mall. Take a shorter walk to the south, and you’ll reach the Swarthmore College science building. I needed to get a little work done on my laptop during the day, so I appreciated the in-room desk and Internet access. In the evening, my daughter and I took advantage of the sitting area to watch a movie on the large screen TV. When we woke, Carol and Gordon provided coffee, pastries, and pleasant conversation.

Carol and family are very kind, friendly, considerate hosts. Communication and coordination were seamless and pleasant, the arrival and departure easy. The room and bath are just as pictured: very attractive, modern, bright, and clean. Very private, very quiet. The location is perfect for those visiting Swarthmore. It is just a short stroll to campus. Parking is provided. One think worth noting is that the bed which is in the room now is rather small. It is several inches narrower than a Queen size mattress (which makes it a Full, I think?) -- perfectly comfortable for one, but too narrow for a couple, and too short for a tall person.

Carol is a great host and the accommodations are exactly as advertised: spacious, modern, quiet, private and comfortable. The location can't be beat for visiting Swarthmore and the surrounding area. The train is close by, making it easy to zip into the city (or drive). We would definitely return!

We came in on a late flight; the arrival process was very smooth. The guest space includes a bedroom, sitting room, and bathroom -- all behind a sliding barn door. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom plumbing was top notch, and the host (and family) were very friendly. Located in a lovely neighborhood within an easy walk from the train station and small shops. We enjoyed visiting the Farmer's Market and the College. Highly recommended.

Scott and his family were very welcoming despite the fact that we arrived in the middle of their Thanksgiving. They were comfortable with our coming and going and friendly throughout.

Scott is a pleasant chap and gave us everything we needed before he had to depart on other business. As expected, this is an old house in a quiet neighborhood, marred only by commuter train whistles during the day, very quiet at night. Parking on the street near the front door is easy. With a comfy bed and convenient adjacent bathroom, the accommodations are fine. When Scott's renovations are finished, this will be a delightful property. Until then one may encounter little quirks that old houses contain such as squeaky floors and ill fitting doors. Swarthmore is a quaint little college town and can best be experienced by walking around the shady streets. From Scott's house it is only a short walk to the train station, surrounding stores, and college campus.

It was a pleasure staying at your residence! You made my sister and I feel very welcomed and at home. Thank you for your kind generosity and hospitality! Your home is very neat and clean and easily accessible. The neighborhood is beautiful and made us feel safe. Next time we are in the area, I will definitely contact you again! Thank you :)

Great place and location, walking distance to Swarthmore train station and College. Place as described, Scott was friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the coffee and snacks!

Great stay!

Scott made us feel very welcome. Our stay was a long one; over three weeks and we felt comfortable the whole time. Our bedroom was quite large and so was the sitting room. Scott's house is located in a quiet residential area close to restaurants and stores. In the past we'd stayed at hotels and conventional Bed and Breakfasts in the area. The cost for our stay was half the price we had paid in the past. We highly recommend staying at Scott's.

Scott's place is very nice, the house is simply beautiful, the rooms are very nice, and the whole situation extremely pleasant and comfortable. Warmly recommended both for private and for business trips.

Beautiful, bright, airy home with lots of personality, three blocks from Swarthmore campus. Friendly, well-behaved pets. Abigail was a very helpful and welcoming host.

I stayed for three weeks at Abbey’s house and had a wonderful time there. She was very friendly and kind to me. Also, Reg (the dog), Finn and Archie (the cats) were always lovely company. Her house has a lot of comfortable space and the back garden is a good place to admire nature (trees, birds, squirrels, rabbits). Staying here is highly recommended.

My parents really enjoyed their stay at Abigail's house. It was very clean, comfortable and cozy! The art and glass art inside the house are amazing to look at and they really add to the charm of the place. It is very close to the college and my parents walked to the campus everyday. The cats are very friendly too!

.

A wonderful, warm, and welcoming home.

Abbey's place is exactly as described. The neighborhood is idyllic. Her home is spacious and filled with original art. Her furry cohosts were all friendly, especially Reg who met us at the door with a toy each time we came through it. Very quiet and secluded, but also close to transit, shoppes, and downtown Media which was our destination.

I had eight nights at Abigail's lovely home in Swarthmore. Not only is she the kindest, most generous hostess who really went above and beyond for me, her home is absolutely beautiful, welcoming and extremely comfortable. During the snowy weather there was roaring fire in the hearth, a lovely puffy new duvet, great sheets and towels and the prettiest, light-filled bedroom imaginable. She is great company and her dog Reggie and cats Archie and Finn are great to hang out with too! This is a very special place and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I hope I can stay again.

Jo was a fantastic host. The house was tidy and welcoming and her breakfast spread is impressive. The house is a few short blocks from the Swarthmore station, and the train can have you into Center City Philly in 40 mins. If I'm ever passing through the area, i plan to stay again.

I had a very satisfactory stay at Douglas House. The accommodation was as described. Jo-Ann was easy to communicate with and provided a comfortable room and an excellent breakfast. Visitors to Swarthmore College can benefit from Douglas House's location less than a mile from the main campus buildings, making it feasible to avoid the search for on-campus parking by walking. I recommend Douglas House for anyone seeking a friendly and comfortable accommodation in Swarthmore, especially those wanting to stay close to Swarthmore College.

The host was kind and hospitable, and the room was comfortable, clean and warm. Everything was just as advertised, and it was a very good experience! Thanks Jo-Ann!

I had a great stay at Jo-Ann's!. Her friendly, energetic personality is very welcoming. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. Another wonderful plus was the breakfast provided in the morning. It was very convenient not to have to go out for breakfast. And it was always delicious.

So nice...that I stayed twice! Thanks Jo-Ann for another relaxing stay in Swarthmore.

Host was very cordial. Room and bed acceptable but minimal. Train passes very near the house, which means you hear both the train and the crossing bells, easily loud enough to wake one up if you want the window open (air conditioner was decent). Breakfast pretty good for such low cost overall. Dog and/or cat hair noticeable around the house.

A lovely room in the college town of Swarthmore; very convenient. Rooms are large, clean and comfortable, and the unexpected breakfast was great. Best for heavy sleepers who won't mind the train whistles, but they do stop between 11-6.

Jo-Ann was available readily to us by both email and text and made arrangements to meet our schedules. She offered a good breakfast. Her home is in a good, safe neighborhood, a short walk to the train and Swarthmore central.

Host left us a nice bottle of wine to get started, and it was very convenient to Swarthmore College, we could just walk there.

We enjoyed Betsy accommodation is very spacious and very nice. All conforms to the description on the airbnb site. It is very close to a train station that takes you in 30 minutes in the center of Philadelphia (watch from 10am, there is only one train every hour) Betsy is a caring host who greeted us with a bottle of wine and was available to answer our questions

Betsy was a wonderful host. She made us welcome by leaving helpful notes around the house, provided a bottle of wine and shared her vegetable and other lovely gardens with us. The home manual provided clear directions about using the various systems around the house and providing names and numbers of local people to help if we needed. The house was as promised and accomodated our whole group comfortably. It was so nice to have a few bedrooms to spread out and a kitchen to cook when we didn't want to go out. We were able to do laundry as well so we could pack lighter. The neighborhood was quiet, but walking distance to town and close to other small towns if we wanted to branch out. The location was convenient to everything that we wanted to do in Philadelphia itself and the surrounding area (i.e. Valley Forge, Longwood Gardens, etc.)

Betsy, thank you so much for your hospitality! We felt like we were at our own home. The house is old but very beautiful and clean, with so many wonderful details. We even got a wine as a welcome. :) It was so easy communicating with Betsy, even late at night. :) The house is approximately 30 minutes away from city center with a train station nearby, in a lovely and quiet neighborhood. We will definitely come again. :)

We stayed at this charming abode while we were visiting family in New Jersey. It was the perfect place for our family, and it provided the respite we needed from a busy traveling schedule. The house is situated in a lovely neighborhood that felt safe and comfortable. We have three young children, and we were walking distance to several parks, the library, and eateries. A local gem was the Co-op, less than a block away that had whole food options, both local and organic, a welcomed synchronicity to our usual West Coast lifestyle. The hosts were great communicators, and we felt very welcome! Plenty of space inside, and the backyard oasis was perfect for afternoon playtime and morning coffee on the covered porch.

We spent an evening at this property on our way to the beach and enjoyed our stay at this lovely home in Swarthmore. We arrived at night but after seeing how pretty the house, yard, and town were, wished we could have had more time to enjoy the beautiful yard, porch, and town of Swarthmore. The owner was very responsive to all my questions and I appreciated her willingness to rent to us for one night and on such short notice. We loved the house. It's very cozy and welcoming and clean. The beds were very comfortable and we all got a good rest before continuing our trip to Stone Harbor in the morning.

Betsy was very accommodating and helpful as our dates for our trip changed. Her home was lovely, clean, and exactly as described. She left very detailed information on the house and numerous contact #s in case there were any issues (which there weren't). Her home is in a wonderful location in Swarthmore-we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

What a wonderful place to stay! I hope to be back!

The parking is phenomenal, a welcome attribute after spending a day in Philly's tough love parking sections or a long haul on the road. John and Debbie are helpful from the moment you say 'request a book' with friendly directions, small comforts and unobtrusive grace with your stay. The third floor is a grand suite, with room enough that my six foot one companion didn't have to duck once. The bed, likewise was great for a taller guest and various charming furniture accents adorn the door. Really, it's classic design with lots of comfy spots, so if you're a fidgeter like me, you'll enjoy sitting at the desk, the hall chair, the bed and the other chair. The bathroom was tidy, filled with towels, and stocked with a few accessories for hygienic use, with a nice deep sink. If you're headed from the airport or doing a cross country drive in, pick this place and be welcomed into a private, pleasant stay!

John and Debbie were amazing hosts and their house is beautiful. The place was very comfortable and it had everything I needed for a two week stay. It is furnished nicely and there was plenty of room for me to unpack and get organized. The kitchen is nicely equipped and I cooked 75% of the time. The laundry is right next to the kitchen in the basement and I was able to multi-task with no problem. The location is excellent. It is close to the train station, airport and to the businesses along Industrial Way such as Boeing and Kimberly Clark. I would definitely stay again.

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay. Very hospitable, John and Debbie. It's a 5 star for sure.

My stay with John and Debbie was fabulous. The house is a lovely old farmhouse and the space is very large, with drawers and a closet rack for hanging everything. The bedroom has a nice desk and private bathroom. It is very quiet because it is the entire third floor of the house. John and Debbie were wonderful hosts! Easy to communicate with, warm, friendly, and they took good care of my needs - they stocked the mini fridge with sparkling and still water, offered any kinds of snacks that I needed. I look forward to staying with them again next time I am in Philadelphia!

Great stay at Kun's beautiful home. Very clean, spacious. Charming. Will stay again.

This well-maintained home is in a beautiful historic neighborhood in Upper Darby, PA. A significant historic feature nearby is the beautiful, well-maintained Arlington Cemetery, which has a museum devoted to Underground Railroad figures like Thomas Garrett, as well as the home of Isaac Garrett, which itself was a station on the Underground Railroad. There is a trolley stop very close to this house. The trolley will take you to the 69th Street SEPTA station, a major crossroads of transit for the entire metropolitan Philadelphia area. So even downtown Philadelphia is very convenient by trolley and subway. One thing: if you are noise sensitive, the trolley runs right in back of the house, so you might want to be prepared with earplugs. Kun is a gracious host, and lives on site so that if you have something you need, he can respond instantly.

One of the most BEAUTIFUL houses in the neighborhood with super convenient transportation to city center. And Kun is a very nice host with classic taste and healthy lifestyle. I'll definitely choose to stay here next time if Kun would accept my application

If I want to go to Philadelphia, I will go there again, nice area, beautiful house, quiet and clean

This was the worst stay I've had in YEARS. I arrived around 6pm and the house inside was 85 degrees with one window in the room about half open. The description listed air conditioning. There wasn't any. When I asked for a fan, he said, "No fan." I was exhausted and overheated with another very busy day the next day. I only got about 3 hours sleep. Just lying there and sweating. And no locking doors on the bedroom or bathroom made me feel unsafe.

the house is very near the public transport station, only 2 or 3 minutes, and frequency of the trolley bus is short, in peak tiem, it is only 4 minutes, of course you have to carefully read the bus time table during the off peak time in order to avoid delay your travel schedule. the house owner Kun is very nice person, friendly and funny, we have a lot of fun, staying there is a good experience. the room is clean and warm in this cold season. i would recommend people to choose here if you dont mind to take half an hour to get down town area.

Charming and huge house, friendly host. Good place to stay! Thank you!

I had a great time. The house is beautiful, and I felt very welcomed. I would definitely recommend it. It's right next to the trolly, so it's an easy commute to the city.
