Our daughter was in an opera in the Venice Island theater and this apartment was a perfect place to stay. One should be aware and careful of the steep, winding stairs but I loved the location and the historical feeling to the place. I would highly recommend it.

My boyfriend brought our son down to Philadelphia for kids attractions for his 3rd birthday. The location the house is in is amazing as well, it was only a 40minute drive to Camden to see the aquarium and only a few minutes from the philadelphia zoo. Since it’s such tight traffic and narrow roads we were able to walk everywhere in the neighborhood. There’s tons of shops and corner gas stations and restaurants nearby in a walking distance so you don’t even have to worry about really using your car unless you’re leaving Manayunk. The beds are a little stiff but it was not terrible or unbearable by any means. Everything in the cottage is absolutely gorgeous, wasn’t crazy about the rug in the living room it’s some kind of twine material and just did not feel pleasant at all on your feet. The steps we knew were narrow but was not prepared for how steep they are too it was intimidating the first day but you quickly get used to it. The host supplied baby gates but the only areas they’re able to fit in are the bedroom doorframes itself because the staircase and textured walls don’t hold the gates well, it’s definitely not ideal to bring your toddler here unless you’re not spending a lot of time in it like we did. Also felt nervous that my toddler was going to break something in such a fragile older home lol

Walking distance to everything. Cozy place for a nice get-away. Quiet neighborhood right up the road from town. Rental requires ability to walk up narrow stairs. Highly recommend!

Overall great stay, I especially appreciated that they were flexible with pets coming. The only issue was parking which they represent correctly, it is just very hard to park in that lot. Also, bathroom sink was very small but otherwise great stay, would recommend

Perfect for us. Allowed us the room to put our baby in his own room for bedtime. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

The place was wonderful! Everything was top-notch. It was very cozy and comfortable. The hosts were great to work with. I would highly recommend this place.

We weren’t able to spend much time at the property, but from what we saw the property is lovely. The host was very accommodating and responsive. Be aware that the roads are very narrow in Manayunk. We learned from experience that navigating the streets in a minivan was simply not going to happen without your car playing bumper cars in with the cars of the locals.

It's not that the photos are inaccurate, they are just misleading. The site claims there is 1+1/2 bath - false. The stairs are literally carved out of the wall and treacherous to navigate. Getting luggage to the 3rd floor was a death defying feat. The only "living space" was the tiny front room. Fortunately we were "out" all day & basically only slept there. We were very disappointed and would not recommend.

We had a great stay at the cottage. It was beautifully decorated, fully stocked with kitchen appliances/cookware, the beds/sheets were very comfortable, and the ease of communication with the owner was great. We would definitely come back!
