There was a ton to do within a few blocks of the house - coffee shops, restaurants, even a concert venue that we checked out.

Everything about this lodging is great and unique to Philly. The location is fabulous, everything is clean and comfy, the place is well-appointed, and the charm of the Trinity House-style can not be beat.

Perfect for our needs. This is a historic home and the accessibility reflects that fact (the stairs are steep!) but all information was accurately conveyed prior to booking.

We loved our time here! After a delay in our flight, we arrived later than expected, but Colleen helped us check in with ease. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed! It was as described, and there were great restaurants and sites nearby. We’d love to come back again!

Great easy stay, small stairs, fantastic bed! Shades for skylights in bedroom would be nice. Food and drinks close by which was great but also Friday night party goers were a bit loud. Easy access walking distances to historic places was fantastic! Seriously LOVED the bed, very comfortable! I would stay again for sure!

Great time! Everything was perfect but the stairs.

We're both about 250lb. I would say getting to the basement was pretty hairy for me. Maybe bigger people wouldn't be able to fit so well. Just take a look at the stairs in the picture and visualize like half the size. If you don't need to access the kitchen at all then it won't matter. We had a great time here. It's just as described. Thank you!
