Good Location, needs fixing

Smooth check in process, clean but apartment needs maintenance (broken blinds, curtain rods, walls need patching, etc). Would benefit from black out curtains in the bedroom as even with the blinds closed, the bedroom was bright from the street lights. Good location in town.

Nice property- loved the Bee theme throughout. Close to Main Street (restaurants, bars, nightlife). Would have liked AC as it was hot during our stay. Nice property.

No A/C and lack of actual communication

The unit is lovely if it's fall or spring. Hopefully, the heating works (we didn't need it). The unit description says that it has A/C, but we could not find any evidence of either central air or window units. The ceiling fans were very helpful and made our stay pleasant. If this had been a hot and humid weekend, we would have been miserable. It was also strange that I contacted the host twice with questions about the A/C and the wifi, but only received canned replies. Is this unit run purely with AI? Rent at your own risk. If you have a sensitive to heat/humidity, DON'T rent in the summer.

Great, convenient spot

We stayed here in late 2023 and would definitely book again if we're in the Bethlehem area in the future. The surrounding neighborhood is walkable, and we found a lot of great eateries nearby. The property was clean and comfortable.
