Not what we expected
We enjoyed our weekend, however, the apartment was not what we were expecting. The listing said that there were spices and all the cookware we would need, but there was only salt and pepper, and only one small baking sheet and some pots, one pan, and a griddle pan. There were no cleaning supplies available, so we couldn't clean our messes, or run the dishwasher. Several of the arcade games either didn't work, or they didn't work completely (some of the buttons stuck due to something being spilled on them). Everything in the gaming space was very cramped together, with not enough room for some of the activities to be done at the same time. There is only eating space for 7 people, even though there are beds for 15+. I was told that there was parking available, but we had to park along the street around the corner. Communication with the host was good. There were rules and expectations posted all over the house, however, these did not match some of the rules that had been previously communicated with me (10 pm - 6am quiet time, but the house posting was 10-8, and the upstairs neighbors were quite loud on the floor well past 10 pm). I will not be staying at another Mr. Whips again.

Long weekend
I was looking for a place to stay for the 6 of us (4 adults, 2 kids) We were in town to see the circus The game room is what sold me on the place , and the fact there was 4 bedrooms. Walking in was like looking at a party place. Lounge area and kitchen with bar type tables. And downstairs the arcade and second tv viewing area. Super fun for kids! The games were on the slightly used side, but all worked well enough for everyone to enjoy. We were sad we ran out of time to try the popcorn machine. We had a small issue with the toaster not working and our host was very prompt with his replies and offered to replace it the next day One caveat would be that the place isn’t super soundproof and you could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around. This didn’t bother us, but if you’re a light sleeper I’d suggest taking one of the downstairs bedrooms I appreciated that there were several fans and room heaters to adjust temperatures to your liking. We didn’t need them either but it was nice they were there The beds were very comfortable. Coffee shop a half block away, neighborhood grocery one block away and beer/wine a short walk away

Great Spot for Trip to Philly
Not sure why one of the previous reviews says there's cameras. I can assure you there was none, so disregard that person's salty and immature review. This place is solid for a guys trip or a family trip. We didn't spend a ton of time in the unit, but when we did, we enjoyed having stuff to do. The vending machine was a little odd, but whatever. One thing to point out: bring ice. There is no ice maker, which we wish we knew. But not a big deal.

THIS IS A SCAMMER BE CAREFUL
The owner has hidden cameras inside of the unit so make sure you be careful where you get undressed at. This owner is not to be trusted. He said he was canceling my reservation within a hour of me being there and refuse to let Vrbo give me my money back. The owner stays inside of the building watching form the top floor. I just feel violated and disrespected because I had a family member say she was uncomfortable because the camera seen her walk out the bathroom undressed. If you are thinking about getting a home away from home I believe you should look else where. HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALL. AND TO THE OWNER I PRAY YOU LEARN FROM THIS AND YOUR GUEST GETS TREATED BETTER THAN HOW YOU TREATED US. P.S HE TOLD ME NOT TO WRITE A REVIEW SO I Made sure I didn’t forget. THE OWNER IS A LIAR AND SCAMMER AND I WILL FOREVER STAND ON THAT.

Amazing House neighborhood is rough.
The property is amazing and we had a blast in the house. Maybe I was expecting Philadelphia to be cleaner but there was trash all over the streets. The neighbors were fighting when we arrived and a couple senior members of our party didn't feel safe getting out of the car. Wasn't within walking distance to the city and no one felt safe walking around the neighborhood at night.

Mystery Trip
This property was a huge hit with the grandkids! The game room and bedroom space was great! The only concern was the breaker flipping because the games were being used. It left our refrigerator turned off overnight and a lot of food could have been ruined. A warning that that could happen when everything was in use would have been nice.

Volleyball Weekend
This is our 2nd time renting. It has been ideal for families of volleyball team during the long weekend of play at the Convention Center. We love the games, being able to cook our own meals and plenty of beds. There is very minimal soundproofing between the unit and upstairs neighbors so you hear them walking. The cleaning could have been a little better as the shower drains contained clumps of hair and the stair treads needed to be mopped.

Bachelor Party
I came to philly for a quick weekend trip to celebrate my Bachelor party. Hiram's place had plenty of space for 8 of us to sleep and all have our own beds. A few of us shared rooms but that was fine for my group. The king room downstairs is very nice with its own bathroom! The games were fun, however at times they would glitch and needed to be turned off an reset. The heat in the house was not able to be adjusted, but space heaters kept the space warm. The space heaters at times seemed to cut the power to the game room, but that was easily restored with the breaker box and unplugging some of the heaters. The apartment was very nicely located and parking was easy on the street just outside of the place. We had 4 cars at one point and we were all able to park at varying times nearby the apartment complex. Of note if you are in the upstairs bedrooms you can hear people walking or running upstairs so if that bugs you choose a downstairs room. Overall great stay! Id stay again!
