About this house rental

Welcome to Iseminger Street!

Nestled on one of the most picturesque and quietest car-free streets in Philadelphia: This property is a few blocks from Independence Mall, The Liberty Bell, The PA Convention Center and it’s near the heart of all the historic sites Philly has to offer! Entire two bedroom and two full bath home, a rarity for this neighborhood. One king bed, one queen bed, and one pull-out sofa. Private, covered back patio with ceiling fan, wood fireplace in living room, dishwasher, washer/dryer, high-speed internet, coffee maker, all essential: fresh towels, linens, extra blankets, soap, hair dryer, etc. and tons of CHARM included!

While still firmly rooted in history dating back to the 1800s, this house has also been thoroughly updated. What is so special about this home is the original detailing: wood-beamed ceilings, original plank floors, fireplace (fireplace in living room can be used & other three fireplaces are only decorative), paneled doors, & vintage built-ins. Eat in kitchen, large back patio, two spacious bedrooms, & two bathrooms with natural light.

***Please be aware that this property has somewhat steep stairs -- typically ok for most but may not be suitable for very young children or the elderly.***

The entire home is yours to enjoy! The key will be left in a lockbox, so you'll be able to check in & out at your convenience. I will be available throughout your stay if you need anything & I'm always happy to help you customize your Philadelphia experience. If you need any advice on restaurants & things to do then please ask!

My home is in the middle of the Washington Square West neighborhood & was built in 1824. It is one of the oldest & 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, & Graduate Hospital are all within a five to ten minute walk. The street is one of the most charming in Philadelphia & is quiet despite being in the middle of the city. You'll find everything you might need within walking distance including a corner store, coffee shops, Sweet Box Bakery, Whole Foods, a wine/liquor store, Walgreens, & many top rated bars & restaurants!

Public transportation (bus & subway) is easily accessible. There is a bus stop just east of 13th & Lombard & the subway stop (Broad Street Line) is located at Broad & Walnut. The house is within walking distance to two major train stations (Suburban Station & Jefferson Station). 30th Street Station is a ten minute Uber/cab ride & airport is twenty minute Uber/cab ride. There is also an Indego bike share station just a couple blocks from the house on 13th between Locust and Walnut.

Because my home is located on a car-free street in the heart of the city, nearby street parking can be limited. However, there are a few parking garages & public parking lots close by that charge about $40/day to park. Most street parking near the house is fine for 2 hours, but you can go a few blocks south of South Street to park for extended periods of time & I'm always happy to offer tips & help assist.

The house was perfect for a week long stay. AC works well, fully stocked with everything you need and very comfortable. Neighborhood has narrow roads and lots of cars so plan for parking difficulties.

We were there to celebrate the 4th of July. We are descendants of one of the signer’s of the Declaration of Independence. My niece was tapping the Liberty Bell. The townhouse and neighborhood are adorable. Great restaurants and we could quickly get around town.

Great place in the heart of the city. Loved the pedestrian street and the house itself had a lot of character. Very walkable neighbor. We parked in the acme parking garage (near Whole Foods).

The property is in a great location if you’re looking to explore the city. We found it very charming especially the historic side street it is on. There are many nice restaurants within walking distance and if you don’t like it clean, go to dirty Franks on the corner. We enjoyed our evening there because the people were the coolest. We would return to this property and recommend it.
