Gabriel helped us with a place to stay at the last minute after our previous accomodations fell thru. This is the best experience I have ever had with an AirBnb. the hosts provided excellent, proactive communication, a clean home exactly as described, clear directions for checking in & out, and a fabulously well decorated and functional space. I am very happy with my stay.

Place was great, was very clean and nice! The location was super convenient for the area, very close to public transit and very walkable to all the things in Fishtown. Gabe was very quick to respond to messages and was an excellent host.

The apartment is great! Super cute. Bed is really comfy and kitchen seemed to have everything although we didn’t cook. The living room furniture was eclectic and I’m sure the pull out couch would be great since it was nice to sit on. Easy access in and out of apartment but the keypad did not light up so at night was difficult to see numbers. This is a beautiful place but please be aware that it is not in the best neighborhood of Fishtown. I would recommend uber (at night). We had no issues at all but were very aware of surroundings. It’s very noisy at night(due to bar being close and lots of loud cars)but earplugs were provided. Things that were in owners control were perfect and communication was outstanding!

Great place with a few jewels in the neighborhood worth visiting. It's an up and coming area with great coffee and breakfast close by. Breakfast one place, coffee another but worth exploring. The area is harmless and the apartment is styled well, find ya selfie; I did. I did 3 days in Philly after 3 days in a Downtown Brooklyn Marriot and the airbnb was $200 more expensive but if you got it, do it. May be pricey for some but when you are last minute that's your life. LOL

We enjoyed staying at Gabe's place. The lack of parking was a concern for us going in, but we were able to find convenient options less than a 3 minute walk from the home throughout our stay. The home is well decorated with a beautiful shower.
