Back patio/garden with seating for 6, fireplace, dishwasher, laundry, high-speed internet, central air conditioning, coffee maker, & all essentials included (towels, linens, blankets, soap, hair dryer, etc.).

This pristine & cheerful Colonial-era rowhome is a wonderful mix of original details paired with modern conveniences. Fantastic location steps away from theaters, parks, restaurants, nightlife, & close to iconic Philadelphia historical sites. This home has three bedrooms (two with king beds and one with a double bed) & two full baths (including one with a tub). Back patio/garden with seating for 6, fireplace, dishwasher, laundry, high-speed internet, central air conditioning, coffee maker, & all essentials included (towels, linens, blankets, soap, hair dryer, etc.).

*Please be aware that this property has somewhat steep stairs -- typically ok for most but may not be suitable for all children or the elderly.

My home is in the middle of the Washington Square West neighborhood and was built in the 1800s. It is one of the oldest & most historic areas in Philadelphia. The neighborhood is residential with historic townhouses, but also walking distance to everything in Philadelphia including many restaurants, bars, & attractions. The Pennsylvania Convention Center, Rittenhouse Square, Old City, Society Hill, South Street, Bella Vista, & Graduate Hospital are all within a five to ten minute walk.

Public transportation (bus & subway) is easily accessible. There is a bus stop just east of 13th & Lombard & the subway stop (Broad Street Line) is located at Broad & Walnut. The house is within walking distance to two major train stations (Suburban Station & Jefferson Station). 30th Street Station is a ten minute Uber/cab ride & airport is twenty minute Uber/cab (usually under $20)! Uber, Lyft, & taxis are all readily available in the area. There is also an Indego bike share station just a couple blocks from the house on 13th between Locust and Walnut.

Great place and great location
You can tell this house is well taken care of by the owners. They have decorated it beautifully. The location is right in the center of it all in Philly, which is great, but also a little noisy. The owner was great with us and made sure we had everything we needed. He even brought us some snacks and water to welcome us :) The house is 3 stories, and the stairs are narrow and spiral as they mention, so if you don't like stairs, it's not for you, but we thought of it as extra exercise. The parking is a short walk to the house, but at least it includes parking. We soon found that parking was limited in the city. Overall, we were happy with our stay and thankful for everything the owner did for us.

Lombard Townhouse
We enjoyed our 5 night stay at Brook's home. The kitchen was well-appointed and comfy beds were a plus. The parking space was convenient. We walked everywhere from this location!

Wonderful week in Philadelphia
We returned to Philadelphia, where we used to live, for approx. 6 days and had a great visit. Reading-Terminal Market is a short walk away, as are many historic sites. The house is clean and well-maintained, with comfy beds and well-appointed baths, in particular. Hosts are lovely and easily accessible.

Central location, Comfortable accommodations
This 3-story home has a beautiful primary suite on third floor with high ceilings, huge closet and very nice bathroom with large walk-in shower & separate WC. Main floor has comfortable, spacious living area with kitchen on same floor. Hosts provide lots of amenities, which is always a nice touch. Having our own included parking space one block away was a huge help for us.
