The current owner – with whom PhillyVoice was unable to speak prior to publication – lives there with his two children – one attending high school and the other in college.
Leonard said the children know of the subterranean vibe – “They’re aware of it, but they don’t go in the basement” – which developed from the owner’s personal interests into a profitable endeavor.

his stunt has been planned since August of last year. Even before we started putting MXS together to launch on AirBnB. Launched it in mid December with minimal marketing other than engagement on IG. So, forget the house, what’s left behind is MXS standing, just a different location. But the brand is what matters. Melissa is doing a great job at what MXS tasked her to do. Made sure more pics were taken of the private wing and including them in the listing. Recognizing that it’d be a matter of time before it went viral. So yeah, that’s the reaction it’s getting from MXS. AirBnB booking inquiries are off the hook. Objective accomplished.
It was custom built and delivered late last year. The entire concept didn’t come to existence until early August when my girlfriend Priscilla and I put things in motion. I wanted to put it on AirBnB during the slow season of selling a house. Didn’t want it to sit stale on the market until things picked up again. There’s a back story that lead to all this. Priscilla, who happens to be a Brazilian custom wedding dress designer suggested a special theme. Apparently there are high-end sex hotels in Brazil. So why not an adult retreat where adults can just be themselves without any judgement. We did our research, visited local sex clubs. Understood the lifestyle. Saw an opportunity and with some balls and marketing, why not? Fuck it. Let’s try it. Laid new hardwood flooring on 2nd floor, and metallic epoxy in the basement. Used nicknacks to infuse some little visual compliment to the furniture in the private wing.
Et voila. MXS.
Or Maison XS.
Plans are to go international with this concept. MXS – PHL is our first location
