About this house rental
This property is an entire two bedroom and two bath home on 3 stories plus a basement with washer and dryer and a roof deck. It is spacious because it is double wide - two trinity houses were combined. Located on a charming street in Philadelphia only a few blocks from historic sites like Independence Mall, City Hall and the Liberty Bell and longer walk to Philadelphia Art Museum, it is in trendy neighborhood with many top rated restaurants and shops.
The first floor has a living room and an eat-in fully equipped kitchen. The house has central heat and air conditioning. The 2nd floor has a den with fireplace and large screen TV. The bedroom on this floor has a queen bed. There is a full bath with a shower. The 3rd floor bedroom has a queen bed and one daybed in the dressing area. There is no door between the bed room and dressing area but it is around the corner. There is a full bathroom with a shower/tub combination on this floor.
There is shared garden area in the back and there is seating and a cool view on the roof deck.
The house has many amenities: wood fireplace, dishwasher, laundry, coffee maker, microwave, full refrigerator and all the essentials are there (fresh towels, linens, extra blankets, soap, hair dryer, etc.).
Just a few blocks from the PA Convention Center, a block from the Kimmel Center and near the heart of all the historic sights Philadelphia. This home has a lot to offer - a cool neighborhood with many top rated restaurants and bars, close to grocery stores and a short subway ride to South Philadelphia Sport Complex - home to Eagles, Phillies, 76ers and the Flyers.
Our home is in the middle of the Washington Square West neighborhood and it was built in 1858. It is one of the oldest and most historic areas in Philadelphia. The neighborhood is residential with historic townhouses, but also walking distance to everything in Philadelphia including many restaurants, bars, & attractions. The Pennsylvania Convention Center, Rittenhouse Square, Old City, Society Hill, South Street, Bella Vista, and Graduate Hospital are all within a five to ten minute walk. You'll find everything you might need within walking distance including a corner store, coffee shops, Whole Foods, a wine/liquor store, CVS and many top rated bars and restaurants!
**Like most houses built in the period, please be aware that this property has somewhat steep stairs. The stairs to the roof deck are VERY steep and shallow. It is not handicapped accessible.
Public transportation (bus and subway) is easily accessible. A bus stop and the subway stop (Broad Street Line) are a few blocks away. The house is within walking distance to two major train stations (Suburban Station and Jefferson Station). 30th Street Station is a ten minute Uber/Lyft/cab ride. The airport is 25 minutes by Subway or twenty minute by Uber/Lyft/cab ($28.50 is the set fare for cab + $1 for additional passengers)
Uber, Lyft, and taxis are all readily available in the area. There is also an Indego bike share station just a couple blocks from the house.
Because our home is located on a car-free street in the heart of the city, nearby street parking can be limited.

Our row house was very well located. We walked to several places and we were also able to use Lyft and Uber. It was quiet at night. We thought it was very nice and delightful. It had all that we needed.
5.0
My husband, mother-in-law, and 8-year-old loved the home and location. The house easily accommodated us all and is nicely spread out amongst three floors. The kitchen is great for those who want to cook and eat some meals in. We walked everywhere, including to the liberty bell, national constitution center, and the Franklin Institute. We felt very safe, and loved the cobblestone roads in the neighborhood. Would definitely book again!

My family and I had a beautiful visit altogether in a lovely home.

This rental was PERFECT, the location is great, it was perfect for hanging out with the family, and had all the amenities we needed. The neighborhood is safe and so close to a lot of the iconic features of Philly. We will definitely be staying again when we visit. Even though there is no parking it didn’t hinder our experience at all, we just parked in the Hamilton garage for the weekend and it was less than 10 minute walk.

Very nice house conveniently located

This VRBO was a great location to walk into the City (if you don't mind walking). It was quiet and the four of us had room.
The bedroom on the second floor does not have curtains so those who sleep there might have trouble of they are sensitive to light. The kids and I ended up on the third floor and my husband tried the second bedroom and couches.
Host made it easy. Would stay again.

Perfect location in Center City with easy access to everything Philly has to offer. Quick walk to Septa, Patco, and Amtrak. Perfect for two couples to hang with their own spaces to spread out. The roof deck was awesome too. Would absolutely book again.

Perfect place to stay on a quiet street and convenient to everything. Highly recommend.
5.0
Communication with Beth was fantastic from the very beginning. Her pre-arrival attention to detail is the best I have ever experienced in my many years of VRBO.
The location of the home is absolutely perfect for all of our Philly favorites, including family.
Our stay was cut short by a massive tree falling down at home, so although we didn’t get to enjoy as much as we wanted it exceeded all of our needs.
We will definitely be back!
5.0
The property was just as it looked in the photos online, very cozy and on a quiet street in a great part of town. It was clean, had plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Beth, the owner, also sent very detailed instructions that were great for navigating the area. Couldn't have been better

We had a family wedding at the Kimmel Center nearby. Great house and location! We’ll be coming back

We loved having our own little unique home in the heart of the city. We were able to walk to nearly everywhere we wanted to go (within 15 min!). The roof deck was dreamy and we spent the afternoons up there under the trees. We loved the cozy den to relax and sometimes watch Netflix. Highly recommended for those who need a bit more space.

It was an awesome home! Right in the heart of everything!
Will definitely be back!
Thank You!😉

Short subway ride to sports complex, everything else was walking distance.
House was great, had a glass of wine on the roof. Showers were great, beds were comfortable. The lay out gave us space, yet brought us together. Plenty of dishes and other household items as well. Thank you so much Beth, this vacation was amazing.

We loved the house and neighborhood!
5.0
The location was so convenient and the space really worked for our family. One of us had to do some work while there and another had to do a remote class and no one felt cramped. The rooftop balcony was fun but it was 95 when we were there so too hot to really enjoy it.
5.0
GREAT PLACE AND CENTRAL TO HISTORICAL SITES, SHOPPING DISTRICTS AND MINUTES FROM THE SPORTS COMPLEX. A MUST STAY IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL TO PHILADELPHIA. OWNER BETH IS COMPLETELY HELPFUL AND GREAT TO WORK WITH.

We enjoyed our stay in the Philadelphia Row House. The location was perfect and we were able to walk and use the hop on, hop off busses for transportation. The neighborhood is fun and we loved the quiet street we were on. Our group consisted of teens through a senior citizen and the house worked for us. The stairs are steep, so step carefully.

Top notch property in a great neighborhood.

We loved staying at Beth's house! Very clean, comfortable, spacious historic house, with lots of restaurants and things to do right outside the door. Tucked away on a nice quiet street. The roof deck is private and surrounded by trees with a lovely view of the city. Beth is very responsive and friendly.

The street and neighborhood are charming, communications superb, and the home clean, sunny, and well equipped. First rate all around.

This area of Philadelphia has restaurants/ bars/ stores/ downtown all within an easy safe walk. Definitely a prime location.
5.0
Obviously, Beth's place is in a great location. But it's also a tastefully renovated historical building with a quaint shared courtyard. The rooftop deck is amazing (stairs are steep and tight). Very well stocked and excellent communication. Only drawback is parking, but easily managed with advance planning. I hope to return soon. Book early. Beth and her place are 5 Stars for sure.
5.0
This house has a great location - close to excellent restaurants and all the the points of local interest. I would return to this property if I visited Philadelphia again. The photos and descriptions by the owner are all accurate. By the way, the owner is available in real time to assist as needed.

We rent frequently in Philly to visit family and this is by far our favorite stay. Hoping it will be available next time!!! 🙏

What a great little property tucked away in a prime location! The house is darling and well appointed with all the amenities. It's walkable to excellent attractions. For us, we enjoyed the ballet, restaurants and the Christmas Market.
The host is an excellent communicator and proactively offered information to answer all our questions. She was helpful in offering parking info and was flexible in offering to adjust our visit timeline as weather impacted our arrival date. We enjoyed a great visit in the city and would highly recommend this property.
Hope to visit again!
