About this property

Renovated Historic Row Home in Fitler Square!

Beautifully renovated, historic trinity home with amazing location! Located in the heart of Fitler square, our single family row home was built in 1825 and renovated in 2020. Trinity homes are a unique part of Philadelphia’s history and are traditionally one room per floor, connected by a narrow circular staircase. (See photos to be sure you feel comfortable navigating!) Walk to 30th St Station, Schuylkill Trail, CHOP, UPenn, Drexel, Rittenhouse, Fitler Square and more! New HEPA air filter!

Our private, modern colonial style home has a living room and kitchen on the first floor. The second floor has the bathroom and two private sleeping spaces: one bedroom with a queen bed, and a second bedroom (no closet) with two twin beds. The third floor stairs open into the final bedroom with an attached balcony and working grill. Window a/c units, robust wifi, and a kitchen with all the amenities you need. Trinities are called America's first tiny homes - while the home sleeps 6 comfortably, the living room space is not large - please view the photos!

A note: Our laundry team enters the home to pick up and drop off linens from the basement on Tuesday and Thursday mid-mornings. Guests are welcome to be home or away during their quick stop.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The place was in a great location to explore Philly. Jessica was great and communicated promptly. The kitchen worked well for our family, and the large washer and dryer in the basement helped us out.

Very cute, clean, quiet and convenient place. The quarters are tight, but comfortable. The stairs are definitely steep and may be a bit difficult for elders and small children. Parking is findable through SpotHero at host suggestion. There are private spaces on alleys with in/out privileges. Walking even at New Years to local attractions and shopping is easily doable. We walked about 6 miles a day, but I’m a walker anyways with a normal 8 miles a day. Snow and ice weren’t any issue around either. Only suggestion I have as an amenity is a coffee grinder.

Clean and comfortable home. Very walkable to the historic sites and then you return home to the cute and quiet neighborhood. Little coffee and food shops dot the neighborhood and Sally’s on the next corner makes a great pizza! Home is nicely appointed. Check in and check out was easy and our host was quick to respond to our questions. We enjoyed our stay.

From booking to check out the entire stay was seamless. We did have to park in a paid lot and walk about a block to get to the home, but the lot was reasonable and the best option as parking can be hard to come by.The home was stocked well: towels, linens, kitchenware and even had fans for extra air flow. Beds were comfortable and my son’s friend said it was the best he’s ever slept!The location is awesome. The Art Museum and “Rocky Steps” are a little over a mile away via a nice walk along the river, which you can access right around the corner from the house. Lots of restaurants around with plenty of options and price ranges made the stay even easier.We would definitely look to rent again should we return to Philly! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We loved this house and the neighborhood. We had access to great restaurants and coffee shops, and we barely ventured past the immediate few blocks, except to go to the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania (about a 20 minute walk or 8-10 minute uber ride). The house was exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated, and well-stocked. The beds were fantastic. Our only issues were the keypad, both getting in the first night (really user error in the dark) and then likely due to construction next door. Host was super responsive, but I did have to call to get a response, largely due to timing of the issues. The hosts were kind and helpful, and I would definitely stay here again.

The house is in an excellent neighborhood and a short walk to U Penn's Franklin Field. It was very clean and accurately represented. The staircase takes some getting used to, but navigating it made for a few laughs.

Family getaway

Perfect place for a family getaway in Philly!! We used to live around the Rittenhouse Sq, so it’s very nostalgic to stay in this neighborhood. Very safe and quiet neighborhood. Few blocks to nice coffee shops and restaurant. There’s a grocery store few blocks south of the house, so that’s a big plus for family travel too. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here!!

Lots of character!

This little townhouse has lots of character. The staircase really is as narrow and winding as the listing describes but it made it interesting (my elderly parents definitely could not have done it).It was very clean and the communication was excellent.The bedrooms on the 2nd floor are quite small. My youngest daughter stayed in the bedroom with two twin beds and it did not have an air conditioning unit. Even cranking the other bedroom’s temperature down quite a bit and leaving the doors open did not cool it down enough for her to be able to sleep well.

Perfect Fitler Sq Location

Our family (mom/dad plus 10 & 13 y/o) spent a great week at this “trinity” rowhouse in the Filter Sq area. Loved house and its perfect location for our family to explore Center City and Penn’s campus. The house was built in 1810 and while we loved period architecture, it might not be appropriate for older travelers (these homes have *very* steep stairs).

We enjoyed our stay in Philadelphia. The home was clean, the beds comfortable, and the neighborhood quiet. The hosts were responsive and helpful. We were traveling with two of our adult children, so there was a bedroom for everyone. The stairs were a bit of a challenge at first, but we loved the history of trinity homes.I misunderstood how parking worked and did not reserve a space. Jessica quickly gave me the name of the parking app, since my husband was circling the block. We were able to find a space 5 min from the house. We were told we could not move the car, but that was fine. We chose the house because it was in walk distance to everything we wanted to see. We also used the Lyft app as needed. We enjoyed lunch at 3Js Cafe and happy hour at Independence Beer Garden.

Cute Historic Home

Easy to find in a great location close to the Parkway, Penn and downtown, in a nice, diverse family neighborhood, this home is cozy and easily accommodated my three friends and me. Spiral staircase might be a challenge for some, but my 6'6" friend and I (6'7") managed fine. Hosts are very communicative and got right back to me if I had a question. A good place to sleep while exploring the city, the mattresses were excellent.

Fabulous host, delightful property, ideal neighborhood

An absolute gem, in the perfect neighborhood. A beautiful park just a few blocks away, easy walking distance to historic sites, upscale (and dive!) bars, restaurants and shopping + public transit. We loved our stay in an authentic Trinity house, full of history and character. As advertised, it's small, but we had no issues at all with the size, since we were mostly out and about enjoying Philly, and the kitchen had everything we needed in an efficient layout. The host went out of her way to be helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend.

The location of this rental is great - a block from the river park, and a short walk to Center City. The street is safe, and it's a lovely neighborhood. It is a historic home, with narrow, winding staircases, but we knew that going in.The house was clean and reasonably well equipped. There isn't a ton of space, in general, and it would have been nice to have a spot where three people could eat a meal (there are two stools at a counter, and otherwise just the living room). But we did cook a little, and we found what we needed in terms of linens, utensils, etc.We came in the middle of a hot spell in Philly (read: summertime). There are window units for air conditioning, but they are just able to keep the place cool when it's really hot out (brick holds so much heat from the day), and on the second floor, the air conditioner is pretty much in bed with you, and it was incredibly loud. It's not great. I'm not clear on what could change given the brick walls and limited space, but it made for a rough few nights of sleep.

great historic home in a great neighborhood

This Fitler Square rowhouse was just perfect! The kitchen has everything we needed and we really appreciate the coffee and coffeemaker. The 3rd floor wifi extender was great. The 1st floor shutters provide the right amount of privacy while letting light in. The kitchen faucet has a little note saying "hot is down" - I can't tell you how many sinks are baffling as you wait for the water to heat up! And we loved the neighborhood - walking to Pizzata, the Penn Museum, CVS etc. Thanks for hosting, you've got a great house!

great location

House was as described in a safe neighborhood within walking distance of many tourist sites, church, restaurants, running trail, and grocery. We located parking a short distance away in a parking lot for $40/day & $10/day on weekends. Subway was a short walk away and easy to navigate (even for us who do not use public transportation regularly). Kitchen had plenty of dishes, utensils..., beds were comfortable, shower had shampoo, conditioner, body wash which was a nice surprise. The floors were clean, but the couch had not been vacuumed after last guest. The tv in 3rd floor bedroom was not useable as no plug nearby for it. The tv on 1st floor was unplugged and remotes did not work (handyman must have known this as only way to turn tv off was to unplug). Jessica resolved by having a new one sent the next day. There was another issue that was brought to her attention which she would resolve. Having a working tv is a given when you stay at vrbo so this was frustrating and kept me from giving a higher score.

Charming & great location, but a few issues

I stayed here for three nights with my husband and two children (7 & 5) over spring break. We thought the house was great overall—it was cool to see a historical home from 1810, and while small, it was comfortable for our downtime when we weren’t exploring the city. We were aware of the stairs being narrow and steep, but like other reviewers I’d just give a heads up for anyone with small children or mobility issues. The owner was very thorough when communicating with us, and even let us check in early when we reached out because we had finished early at the zoo. There is a great guide on the kitchen wall, too. One thing I’d point out is that the neighbors are very strict about quiet time from 10pm to 8am. It was a little hard to keep the kids quiet in the morning but not a big issue for us. There were a couple of things that need some attention though. First, the floors had not been cleaned. I had put on clean white socks and they were filthy within a few hours. You could also see in the bathroom that they just looked dirty. Then there were ants in the kitchen and bathroom. Not a ton of them, but I’m sure the owners will want to spray. The last thing isn’t a huge issue, but on the board in the kitchen it mentioned having AC units during the spring and summer months. It is mid-April and it got up to 85 while we were there, so it would have been nice to have them put in. The last night was pretty warm up on the third floor. Overall we had a great time though!
