Fantastic location at the end of a quiet cobblestone street. Perfect walkable location just outside of Rittenhouse Square. The property is a larger studio with a large bathroom and living/sleeping area. Will definitely book again!

Very nice place. A little hard to find if you dont have directions from the host, which we did, so was pretty easy to find. A lot of restaurants within walking distance.

It was a small, yet versatile space, very comfortable and pleasant for a short or long city stay. The studio apartment was in the middle of everything I wanted to go to in Philadelphia. I found myself feeling like I could enjoy living there, if I wasn't just visiting from out of town.

This property cannot accommodate 6 people. Two slept on a Murphy bed and it was too tight to walk around the sofa. This property should be advertised for only 2 guests.

Good location, was not clean, only comfortably sleeps one person

Location is great for this unit, near all the good stuff around Rittenhouse. It is in the basement and access is a little tricky. It was not a problem for me, but it would be tough if older or injured. The access stairs are a metal fire escape style stairway to get from street level down to the entrance. This unit really can’t sleep more than one. There’s a full size Murphy bed that could sleep two, but would be tight. This is not a unit where you are going to hang out, it’s just too small. When the bed is pulled down, you can’t walk between it and the sofa to the bathroom. It works fine for one person, but not more. The unit was not clean for my stay. The sofa was covered in dog hair, the floor was dirty, and the counters and kitchen sink didn’t seem to have been cleaned well. I contacted the owner about the issue, asking for the cleaning fee to be refunded, but he didn’t respond further. Wouldn’t stay here again

This is a very quiet and well appointed studio apartment on a scenic cobblewtone street. Pictures make it seem a bit smaller than it is, the place was a great size for the two of us exploring the city. Depending on your walking speed it's about 7 minutes to the trolley stop on 22nd and Market, and it's very close to the number 7 bus for an easy trip to the museums and Eastern State Penitentiary. The unit above is a shop, and the street is a dead end with only residential traffic, so at nighttime it's very quiet. Communication was great and instructions for finding/entering the unit were a snap.
