The space
Built in the early 1800s, this stone-front trinity is close to bustling Main Street in Manayunk. A trinity is unique to Philadelphia but means a three-story house with a room on each floor.

**Please make sure you are comfortable negotiating winding stairways.**

The house is cozy and perfect for a single person or one or two couples.
The house is small in scale but is outfitted with everything you need.

The first floor includes a kitchen, living room, and dining area. Stairs to the basement lead to the washer and dryer. A small patio with chairs is located in the back.
The second floor has a bedroom with a closet and a full bath. The hall closet is a supply closet and is locked.
The third floor has a bedroom with a full-sized bed.

Guest access

Other things to note
The stairs are the original, old-fashioned spiral stairs. While they are in excellent condition, they can be intimidating.

The house was super cute and clean. We had a great stay, the only issue was parking. The free lot that we were directed to was more of a patch of grass that we had to drive up onto a curb to get to. I still definitely recommend booking but be aware parking might be rough.

Super charming 2 bedroom cottage in a neighborhood with a lot of activity. I was in town for a wedding so I did not get a chance to walk much, but it looked like a diverse group of people with a young person vibe. Everything was five star for the cottage inside and out. I will give it a slight ding for parking, but that's kinda standard for an urban neighborhood.

This place is as advertised, clean, and close to so much. We planned on cooking at least one night, but there were too many restaurants to try that we ate out every night. Place was well appointed. As other posters have mentioned and the owner has mentioned the stairs are very narrow, it’s a renovated old home. If someone in your group has mobility issues, it’s likely this area isn’t right for you. However, if you take the stairs slow there is no issue. Overall great stay and would stay again.

Came in with a friend for a concert at the Mann music center. We took an Uber and made it there in 15 minutes. The apartment is clean, adorable and an easy walk down to Main Street. The only complaint I have is not about the apartment but about parking. It can be very difficult to find a spot to park, especially when you have to move your car every two hours. The host shared a lot that was free and just around the corner, which did come in handy if you can find a spot in there.

We loved our stay in this beautiful historic home. It was just what we needed and it felt like an oasis in the countryside of England while being seconds from Manayunk. The cold water waiting in the fridge made our day. It’s the small courtesies in this home that made it so comfortable and welcoming. Great place in a fabulous location.
