We came in to town to see the Eagles vs. Cowboys game. We are Eagles fans! We only had 2 days to explore, Christinas place was close enough for a cheap uber ride wherever you want to go in the city. Also a nice neighborhood to walk around in, very safe. It was 1.5 miles to the Eagles Stadium. Kitchen was awesome - had everything we needed to make breakfast (As far as pots and pans are concerned, she provided a lot). There was a total of 6 of us. It was perfect! One note, the door knobs, you have to turn both at the same time when unlocked - my dad couldn't figure this out. You may think the door isn't working, its just tricky. (Or we weren't doing something right lol).
Thanks Christina!

Amazing stay!
This was just what we were looking for and more. The house was very clean and comfortable, nicely appointed, beds very comfortable, kitchen well stocked. The family hosted "Thanksgiving" dinned here. Felt like home for us. The front porch was delightful and the backyard was creative with a miniature pond. Communication from the owner was amazing. She was very understanding, helpful, and kind! Cristina is the most wonderful host, ever! She greeted the family upon our arrival and continuously presented parking for our guests. She even personalized the trip by presenting the family with a welcoming plaque hanging in the front room! We would rate this Property 10 out of 10. We would keep coming back to this wonderful safe and friendly neighborly neighborhood. Kudos Cristina!

Had an excellent time in Philly with my family. Christina was great and was prompt with answering any questions I had. She even offered some ideas prior to our stay for what we could do while there. Everything was as she explained and described and we had no issues with the home.

The Bungalow Jewel is a nice house tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in South Philly. Christina was a super host and had the place stocked with amenities, which we really appreciated. The house is a bit creaky in places and was a bit further from the downtown area than we realized, but overall it was a great place to stay.

Everything about this rental was wonderful from start to finish. Cristina was quick to respond when I requested the rental. She emailed me about our group and reasons for our visit. She gave very specific recommendations for things to do and restaurants. We did take her advice for dinner one night and the Italian food was amazing. The house was clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. Our group had no concerns or issues with our stay. Parking was a challenge but not too bad. When in Philly this is the place to stay!!
Thanks for a wonderful home away from home!! One of the best homes I’ve stayed in!!

Agent very responsive and helpful.
She was more than willing to save a parking spot for us. Let me son check in a little early when he arrived early. She was always responsive weather it was an adjustment to temp at midnight or a fire alarm chirping, it was fixed ASAP.

Awesome House with the best owner!
Great house. Bigger than I expected from photos. Super convenient location. Beautifully decorated. Incredibly well stocked kitchen. Super cute garden. And Cristina was the best host. Great, very prompt communication. And when Cristina found out my son was suffering from a poison ivy rash she dropped off a care package. So sweet. She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect!

Wedding Family
We stayed at Melrose during wedding week. It was a nice distance from the venue in Center City but not too far. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet. Parking was a bit challenging but our host helped us navigate. She was very responsive and charming. The backyard garden is a nice feature —a very peaceful place for morning coffee.

Cristina is accommodating but unobtrusive, a rare and difficult feat. Her house is lovingly restored and updated. Flowers in every room, tea and coffee wonderful touch, clean as can be. Comfortable in spite of 95 degree + days. Two zone central air and great WiFi made the visit even better. We will always stay here when in Philadelphia.

My family and I stayed at Cristina’s place for 2 weeks, part of which was my wedding weekend. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her from the get go. She went out of her way to make special arrangements for my 15 month old nephew. We walked in to beautiful decorations that matched our wedding color theme. These little details made our stay so much more special. Cristina checked in on us regularly and helped provide any additional assistance we needed throughout the stay. We hosted my fiancé’s family for a small get together before the wedding and even held my Mehandi (henna) ceremony at the house. This house will always hold a special place in my heart :)

Wonderful Customer Services
We had some troubles with booking date (our faults when we change the check out date 1 day before check in), and the host helped us with lots of efforts to solve the problem. Thank you so much. This is one of the best stay ever.

Perfect Personalized Stay!
My family stayed at Christina's property in South Philadelphia because we needed to quarantine our daughter for two weeks before heading off to college in NY. The property was perfect and Christina was amazing. Her kindness knows no bounds. The house was well stocked, it is in a perfect location for deliveries, the neighborhood is very quiet and all neighbors were very nice. Christina gave great recommendations for classic South Philly food and businesses and even dropped off a few treats for us knowing that we couldn't get out to enjoy the beautiful city the way we would want. Her sincere care and interest in us as a family and great communication made our stay very enjoyable. Anytime we had a question or request, she got back in touch with us immediately and helped us out. The internet service is GREAT! With a family of four, (two online working parents and two teens starting classes online) we use the internet alot, and we were all satisfied with the speed and quality. There was a storm that affected the service at one point and we contacted Christina and it was fixed immediately. She is GREAT! If we ever go back to Philly as a family, we would definitely want to stay there again and if anyone ever needs a place to stay in the area, we will definitely recommend they stay at her place.

WORK TRIP
Not only was the house beautiful and full of amenities, but the owner goes above and beyond to customize your trip to your needs. Ours was a work trip and had some unusual requests with being able to store some doors and hardware there until we could get them picked up. She not only let us store them at her personal home, but made sure they were picked up in a timely manner and oversaw the completion of the project since we had to leave town before the appointment. Overall wonderful experience!

Lovely house for girls weekend
My friends and I had a lovely, relaxing weekend at Cristina's bungalow. The house was well-appointed and in a nice location for a quiet weekend away. We loved the old architecture and wooden floors throughout, and we were very happy with the outdoor seating areas for nice, relaxing chats. We felt very welcomed by Cristina, and it was clear that she was making an effort to make us feel at home. The only problems that we encountered were that there were an abundance of hairs in the bedding, which was off-putting, and the next-door neighbor was a bit invasive. The overall experience, however, far outweighed those two problems.
