This place was spectacular! We did a family weekend together. It was within walking distance of so many attractions. We didn’t need a car. As others mentioned, the stairs are steep, but you get use to it.

Philly Weekend

Great house in a great location for our weekend away in Philly. It’s located in a relatively quiet area in the city, lots of playgrounds and places to grab a bite to eat or a coffee nearby. Very family friendly neighborhood. House was very clean and beds were comfortable. The owner was easy to communicate with. Will definitely use this place again for future trips to the city!

Perfect Location!

We went to Philly for a concert held at the Theatre of Living Arts, located about 4 blocks away from this rental. Not only is the house walking distance from the venue, it's in a safe and historic neighborhood, also walking distance to all of the Revolutionary Era sites and attractions. Street parking can be an issue, so we were happy to park our car in a nearby garage, and we walked everywhere. It's a fantastic location!

Perfect for a Philly Weekend

This townhouse is well located and well suited for a viait to Philly. We walked easily to shopping, tourist sites and lots of good restaurants. Note that the place is old. Its creaky and the stairs are narrow and steep. It suites us to a "T." Shout out to the owner who was available as needed and very accommodating.

Excellent location

Convenient to historic sites. Property was clean and Duane was very helpful with any issues. Steep stairs, but plenty of grab handles to prevent falls. Bathroom for each bedroom, but only one shower on the upper 2 floors. Cookware and kitchen utensils were adequate for meals. A great value for the money. Thanks, Duane!!

Wonderful stay!

My family and I (including two small children) loved staying at Diane’s property. It was clean and well stocked with anything you might need. Although it was cold, the outdoor patio is such a great feature. We hope to make use of it during our next stay! The home had ample space for our family and it was nice to have the office space as well, which could easily be a great spot for a pack-n-play. The stairs are steep like in most homes in the area but we had no trouble. There are railings and handles that are very supportive. Aside from the accommodations being great, the area is also awesome. It was walkable to a nice children’s park as well as shops, restaurants, and a grocery store. Duane was a responsive host as well! We look forward to another visit someday!
