The home is great! We had all the amenities we needed in a clean house. Great location on a quiet park-facing street, and close to all of the Philadelphia sites.
Great place to stay! Great location and wonderful house! I have two notes for future guests: (1) steps to the second & third floor are steep. If you have problems climbing stairs, be forewarned. (2) Parking can be a challenge in the neighborhood.
Loved our visit in Philly and this house was perfect. Comfortable, clean and spacious and the house was supplied with everything we needed and more! The neighborhood was great, right across the street from a park, which was perfect for my dog! Street parking available. So many good restaurants and cafes within walking range. Loved being exploring the city then coming back to our cozy home.
Beautiful,very clean and comfortable accommodations
Very clean spacious accommodations and decorated beautifully. Beds were super comfy and bathrooms very large! The home was perfect for my family of six adults. Good restaurants within walking distance. Parking with a really large vehicle was only challenge but always found a spot within a block. Recommend this location.
Location was fantastic! We walked everywhere we went! Hosts were attentive when we asked about a couple recommendations. House was clean and nice. Would say a few things could use some updating but it didn’t affect our overall experience and stay. I would definitely stay here again!!
First and foremost, the people of Philadelphia were awesome! Everyone we encountered was courteous and friendly.
Our host (Jennifer) was very accommodating and responsive to all of our needs. We always felt she was interested in making sure our experience was pleasant and enjoyable.
The home was perfectly located, making it easy to either walk or bus to all of our destinations. Everything from the neighborhood markets and eateries, as well as the downtown and the waterfront areas were easy to get to. We thoroughly enjoyed the people and the city, and are looking forward to a return trip.
We are ballpark chasers and we visited Philadelphia to see a Phillies game. Jennifer was a wonderful host and checked on us before, during and after our trip. Her beautifully renovated, decorated and clean home is a quick drive to the ballpark and a convenient walk to Independence Hall and other historical sites. There is a pharmacy in walking distance as well as coffee shops and restaurants. Check-in was so easy and the park across the street gave a nice view from each of the three floors. The two large full bathrooms had everything we needed. A tower fan in one of the bedrooms was a nice extra and so was the mini-split A/C in another bedroom. The beds were comfy and the sheets were soft! We had plenty of paper goods and coffee too.
Our stay in Philly was wonderful! The home was in a safe, convenient neighborhood, which made exploring the city stress-free. The rooms were exactly what our family needed—spacious, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing stay. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and we felt right at home. Highly recommend for families visiting Philly!
Property was comfortable for four older adults and clean and well stocked as advertised in a great walkable neighborhood. The stairs are fairly steep but it wasn’t an issue for us. It would be great if two kitchen towels were added as we did a fair amount of cooking. The second floor shower door is missing some kind of a bottom edge so water leaked on the floor when showering. We would definitely stay there again:-)

Nice but tired to many things need fixing and updating!!!
Excellent location with easy & free parking; walkable to Italian market, south street etc. needs maintenance: coffee maker caked with coffee grinds, the dish rack rusty, sponge & dish towel dirty, 2nd bed in bedroom takes up entire room. Overpriced for what it is.
Had not been together in a year. Perfect place to do it. Short Uber ride to everywhere we wanted to go - Train station, Penn’s Landing, Museum area, Magic Garden, Reading Terminal and more.The town house looked even better in person than the pictures. Very clean, great small but very functional kitchen with upscale appliances. AC worked well. Watched 1 movie - tv easy to use. Bedrooms very comfortable. Highly recommend. There were 3 of us so we each had a bedroom but more could be comfortably accommodated.
Spent six weeks at the property. Wonderful places to eat within walking distance between fourth and ninth Street enjoyed about a 25 minute walk to and from the train station each day.The property has a steep set of stairs from the first to the second floor, do not wear socks! I learned the hard way and at 69 years old that’s a less than I should’ve known Long before I slipped. My fault entirely, not the properties.Being from South Louisiana, I also learned a lot about winters in Philadelphia— they can get cold!!
