About the host
Hosted by Akia phillip
Hi, I’m Kia- a registered nurse with 17 years of experience, a passionate business owner, and a proud parent to an amazing 11-year-old. I’ve dedicated my career to caring for others, and I bring that same spirit of hospitality and attention to detail to every guest who stays in my space.
I understand the importance of comfort, safety, and thoughtful touches, whether you’re traveling for work, a hospital visit, or just exploring the city. Hosting is more than just providing a place to stay — it’s about creating an experience that feels warm, welcoming, and worry-free.
As a busy professional and parent, I value clear communication and do my best to ensure your stay is smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. I’m always just a message away if you need anything.
Welcome to your home away from home — I’m excited to host you!

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it truly captures the heartbeat of Philadelphia. It’s a prime, central location that puts you just minutes away from anywhere in the city — whether you’re headed to Center City, University City, South Street, or the Ben Franklin Parkway, you’re never far from where you need to be.
This area is full of character, convenience, and culture — with nearby hospitals, universities, parks, shops, dining, and public transportation all within walking distance. It’s a lively, high-energy spot that gives guests an authentic Philly experience while still offering a cozy, comfortable place to unwind.
For me, it’s the perfect blend of accessibility and city charm — and I’m excited to share it with you
