Comfort and Convenience in Philly
Our family of 9 found our vacation dwelling comfy and charming. Bedrooms and bathrooms on each floor gave the feel of a private suite for each family group. A quaint outside area to read and relax was enjoyed by everyone. No problem with plenty of street parking! Easy walk to coffee, food, shops and the sights. The owner was very accommodating and quick to answer any questions. We enjoyed our stay in this cozy Philly home! parking.

The property is located across the street from a park. The neighborhood is quiet. The house was clean and bedding and towels and shampoo, conditioner AMD body was was provided. The house was spacious. It's 4 levels inside. The first floor is the living quarters with a large living room, kitchen and dining room. Has a nice little outdoor space. The other 3 floors all had a spacious bedroom and bathroom suite which was really nice for privacy. The host was awesome with communication and was very responsive. It is a beautiful home with old character.

Gorgeous house!
We were celebrating my 60th birthday and the house was perfect and had everything we needed! The park was a plus! We would love to again! We could not figure out the tv in the living room even with the instructions and a few of the extra comforters had stains on them. Those are the only negative comments we have…loved it!!

It was a hot one
The owners were very responsive to the incorrect keypad code that was sent in the welcome email along with sending a handyman to try and fix the AC that was faulty. Unfortunately the unit was not ready for our visit as we had to open all AC vents to try and cool the home which was 82 degrees upon arrival. Tough environment for a family of 6 when it was in the mid-90’s. There was also wet sheets in the washer and a load of towels in the dryer we had to move but that wasn’t a big deal. The cable system also did not work. The home overall was nice and would recommend it as long as the HVAC system is corrected and there is better preparation of the property for upcoming guests. The owners did graciously extend a small refund for the challenges mentioned above which was appreciated.

Wonderful Property
Girls trip to Philly was made even more special by staying at this property. Central location, great neighborhood. It was cold so we took Lyft or Uber most of the time, however in warmer, less rainy weather could have easily walked to restaurants and bars. Checking in and out was easy and Kevin was quick to respond to my questions. Would highly recommend this property to my friends and family.

Great for a family
Pros: Close to great donuts, coffee, cheesesteaks, and other food Having the park across the street is fabulous for kids and dog Lots of space to sleep, relax, and get ready Communication was great Cons: The area rugs and bathroom rugs need cleaned, replaced, or just taken out The washer and drier need replaced. The washer has a spot that the socks got stuck in and the drier doesn’t dry great. For me the wall plug ins made the house smell worse and were way to strong The beds are ok but could also be replaced soon. The frames are starting to break The biggest con was parking. We were there for four days and never once were able to park in front of the building. We always had to park at least a block away. This wasn’t really too big of a deal except the night we got there and needed to unpack 4 kids, a dog, and all of our stuff. Overall though the cons are minor things that could just make the place that much better. I’d definitely stay again because the pros outweigh the cons easily.

Fun in Philly
We had a great 2 night stay in Philadelphia at this rental. Everything was as advertised. Parking was never an issue, coffee was excellent just around the corner at Herman’s and location was good for getting around town. The home was nice & clean too. As other people have previously noted, there are a lot of narrow, noisy stairs, but that didn’t trouble us. (2 adults, 2 teens)

Spring Break in Philly
We loved our stay! House is clean, well-kept, spacious, and comfortable. Quiet area, with bus pick up on the corner. We loved having a bath w each BR, plus laundry. Stairs are a bit steep, but it’s a very old home. Only suggestions: kitchen needs teaspoons, a few light bulbs need replaced, some floor nails sticking up. A unique place to stay, updated and a great price for all the space in the city! Loved our vacation in Philadelphia. Thank you =)

Really cool row house
Yes, the stairs. My kids loved going up and down all 29 (yes my daughter counted) and mine are 7 and 3 years ild. Just don’t come here to recover from knee surgery. But this place was so great, absolutely would stay again. Full bathrooms for each bedroom was a luxury, and they were very nicely done. Thoughtful amenities throughout, if I had to give a constructive criticism it would be basic staples in the kitchen (we cook a lot). The location is great, close but not in the chaos of the city, and my kids loved the park. We didn’t have any trouble parking right in front, although advanced parallel parking skills are required sometimes. Communication with the owners was easy and they were responsive. Philly was such a great part of our trip, and this house was super cool!

Great property. I am a vrbo owner myself, so I am very picky. We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, having 3 1/2 baths is unheard of in Philly. The outdoor space was very nice for entertaining. I did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was well equipped for that. The owner was very responsive. We will be back.

Beautiful row house - you won't be disappointed.
The house was exactly as pictured and listed. Check in process was very simple and communication with the owners was great. We were with in walking distance to lots of places and were able to Uber Eats and Door Dash dinners. Across the street is a pretty little park. A few things to note, but IN NO WAY negative. Since this is a row house that has been renovated. There are still original structural features in the house. The steps are narrow and are not as deep as "modern" steps. Be prepared to "duck walk" up and down them and wear shoes so you don't slip! As mentioned in the listing, you may have to park up the road a little if you are getting there after 6pm. That was not an issue for us at all, as we enjoyed walking and looking at the beautiful streets. Please know, that where ever you park, you have to parallel park. The streets are narrow and we were in a mini van, which made it more difficult to park.

Great Host with great communication and responsiveness
Property was just as advertised, in a good location adjacent to Jefferson Park and a short Lyft ride to downtown. Kevin was quick to respond to the few small issues we encountered and took good care of us. There is one restaurant, bar, and coffee shop just around the corner, but other options are a 15-20 minute walk away. Keep in mind all bedrooms are upstairs, but each has a private bath and there is a half bath on the ground floor. Quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again. Check it out.
