Charming

This is a charming 4 level home in a quiet courtyard within walking distance to many historic sites, shops, bars and restaurants. Beautifully renovated inside, quiet, super clean, comfortable bed. We lucked out with street parking on arrival. We used the narrow lane in the rear to quickly load our car when leaving. Overnight parking at the 10th and South Street lot was convenient. We much preferred staying here vs center city hotel.

Beautifully Appointed & Elegant

This meticulously well-appointed, renovated townhouse is a great place to stay in Philly! In a great location, it’s an easy walk to numerous historic sites and neighborhoods. It is 4 stories though so be prepared to do many stairs. We loved it and the stairs were great exercise. I’d definitely come back!

Quiet & Serene

This was a lovely property. I enjoyed all the comforts of home on my business trip. The neighbor hood was pleasantly clean, charming, friendly and a short walk to historic locations. Bring sneakers to get from the parking garages, as street parking is limited. I'd stay here again on another trip to Philadelphia.
