It was a spacious home with nice bathrooms with plenty of space in the bedrooms and a room for a work area. The basement had comfortable recliners with a small bathroom and shower. It was a quiet area with friendly neighbors. Climate
control was easy and kept us cool and comfortable. The living room and dining room was comfortable! Great access to suburban malls and center city Phila within 2o mins.

well maintained and reasonably modernized historic home made for a comfortable long weekend in a historic city. the quiet neighborhood made relaxing evenings. very spacious home with all the creature comforts.
5.0 / 5.0
This house was just what we needed for the 4 of us to visit Philly! We couldn't have asked for more. Great space for taking it easy and close enough to be in town in 15 minutes. We had a great time! We would definitely recommend this place if you need to a place to stay and don't want to be in center city.

It was a nice place. Worked well because we had a vehicle. However, we used Lyft to go to most places at night.
The host’s communication was timely, she was very helpful.

This is a decent place to stay and one of the few if you're visiting friends or family in this part of Philadelphia. The beds are pretty bouncy and the pillows are very flat. There are plenty of towels and extra blankets for the beds. One of the towel rods in the bathroom is coming out of the wall. The shower is great. I appreciated the electric kettle for tea. The to-go cups for hot beverages are a nice touch though we didn't use them.

Location and setup was great. We found everything we needed easily for a comfortable long weekend getaway for two adults and one teen. We appreciated being able to travel with our dogs. Check out Philly Goat Project nearby if you have time during your stay. Thank you for hosting us!
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our recent stay in this delightful home. Clean and beautifully decorated. It’s a cozy and comfortable duplex centrally located to downtown Philadelphia…yet, comfortably situated in a quiet, family neighborhood.
We were visiting family in the area and this pet friendly home was the ticket!
Cute kitchen to prepare meals if one is staying in. A few upgrades to kitchen utensils and cookware
would be helpful. The appliances were top notch. A beautiful refrigerator with ice making capability. A Bosch dishwasher and stove/microwave. Perfect for preparing meals if you don’t want to go out. The kitchen cookware could use some updates. Basic items such as salt/pepper, napkins, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent would be helpful…or communication for renters to shop for these items.
The bedrooms were comfortable and cozy. Both rooms have flat screen tv’s and overhead fans. We stayed in March so we didn’t have any concerns about air conditioning. We were very comfortable the three nights we stayed. The two bedrooms, as well as an office are located on the second floor. Quiet street with minimal to no traffic noise.
Yard space to walk your dogs as well as sidewalks.
We would recommend this home for people who are visiting the area and don’t want to stay in the City. Plenty of restaurants and shopping in the area.
The Property Manager was friendly, helpful and readily available to help with any needs a renter would have.

This is a perfect house to stay in with your family. It is a great location for folks visiting family in the Philly suburbs, eg, Springfield, Abington, or Cheltenham townships. The basement is a great place for teens to hang out (though the tv needs replacing). The neighbors and neighborhoods are great. The kitchen has the basics to make a few dinners. The dining room table and chairs aren’t the best, I imagine they’ll be replaced soon. Staying here is a much better option than a hotel!!!

The apartment was in a great location, was clean and well appointed. The house had everything we needed from TVs, to kitchen appliances and housewares, and comfortable and clean bedrooms and bathrooms. Thanks for a great stay!
5.0 / 5.0
The owners have done a very nice job creating a welcoming home. The rooms are spacious and the furniture is in great condition (no saggy couches or beds). The neighborhood is quiet, and there is on-street parking in front of the house and a small driveway behind the house.
We spent several days there as we attended an event at the Philly Convention Center. The drive to the Convention Center (which is in the middle of the city) takes 25-45 minutes, depending on traffic. 25 minutes during non-rush hour and 45 minutes during rush hour.
We highly recommend this property if you need to be in the Philly area and don't want to stay in the middle of the city.

This home had everything we needed. Great parking, clean home, plenty of room, and comfy beds. After a nasty place a month before I was very happy to find this one. The neighborhood was quiet, and the home felt like just that, a home. Thank you for everything. I will be booking for our trip next month as well.

Enjoyed our stay here immensely. Host was very easy to communicate with. Place was very clean, comfortable, more room inside than you would think from the pictures. Location was perfect for us-we we’re playing in a tennis tournament in Chestnut Hill.

This property is dog friendly and I appreciate all properties that allow people to travel with pets. It is difficult to find property in urban areas that have grass for dogs to do their business. This was the reason we chose this property. Overall a decent stay. Property manager Tiffany is very responsive and took care of anything needed. The upstairs bathroom was beautiful and the house smelled amazing on arrival. Be prepared for steps and more steps! I think the Rocky steps were a little easier lol, but by the end of my stay I think my legs appreciated the workout! The property is not far from downtown depending on when you leave. Sometimes 15 minutes sometimes 30 minutes. Kelly drive is beautiful and takes you through Fairmount Park, we did this everyday. I can recommend Doggy VIP in Philadelphia off Ben Franklin parkway for doggie daycare. We took our dogs so they would be as wore out as us.Thank you for allowing us to stay and our fur babies to stay.
