The Newbold Retreat | Roof Deck + Skyline View

Very nice place, we enjoyed the roof top deck with views of downtown on the night it wasn’t pouring and windy ? The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were all well stocked with towels/shampoo/etc. The whole place seemed to have been recently updated so it was overall a great place to stay and we appreciated the hosts thoughtful touches (chocolate!). We were very happy with our stay and appreciative of its close proximity to the activities we wanted to do. Thank you for having us!

This was the perfect Airbnb for 6 friends coming to Philly. Every bedroom was spacious, comfortable and as described. The house had everything you could think of and the rooftop was the perfect place to start our mornings off and end our nights with those views! Would 100% stay again next time we visit Philly.

This is a difficult review to write as I don't want to negatively impact the owners but a few points need to be made. The bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms were very clean. Stairs had hair and other debris. The place was furnished as stated and kitchen nicely appointed. The neighborhood was unexpectedly "the hood" and though it was quiet and we were never threatened, my wife never felt comfortable leaving open the 15 foot above ground second story windows. The roof deck was easily accessed from neighboring homes with no curtain over the door for privacy or security. Lastly the AC did not work and after realizing this on the 4th night, the management company was NEVER able to get it working, so our remaining 6 nights were spent in sweaty mid-80s discomfort. This would be the main complaint beyond making sure people understand the nature of the block and that families with young kids might find the situation uncomfortable, though I again stress that nothing threatening happened to us

We had a pleasant stay at Mike and Tatenda’s place. The layout was great and the location was perfect for our trip. We were in town for the Philadelphia Eagles home opener, and we had a straight trip to the stadium from the home. It was plenty of space for our group of six. For the questions and issues that we did have, they were very responsive and helpful. We would stay with them again.

We had a wonderful and very comfortable stay during our time in Philadelphia. The house was exceptionally clean, spacious, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. From the moment we arrived, we could see that even the smallest details had been carefully considered. The appliances, kitchen equipment, furniture, and other items throughout the house were all high quality, which made our longer stay especially comfortable. One of the highlights for us was definitely the rooftop terrace. It has a beautiful city view that is not easy to find in Philadelphia, and we spent time there almost every evening during our stay. It became one of our favorite parts of the whole experience. The hosts were also extremely responsive, kind, and helpful whenever we had a question. We truly enjoyed our stay, felt very comfortable here, and would happily choose this home again on our next visit to Philadelphia. Highly recommended!

I had my son and his partner staying at Mike's Airbnb they both had only great things to say about their stay and location. Also, Mike was very supportive and quick to respond to all questions and requests. Outstanding customer service.
