Just what we were looking for

Great location, nice quiet street but not far from Center City and easy walk to Fairmount neighborhood. Host was extremely responsive. House was clean and nice size. Would definitely stay again.

We loved staying at this property! The home was adorable - clean and comfortable, well decorated, cozy, and even well-stocked with snacks. The area was really nice too, with coffee and sushi around the corner, and a bus stop within a block to access the city without having to drive. We found parking easily around the corner, and left our car there for our entire stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfy home

Not being familiar with Philadelphia, the parking (or lack thereof) was surprising. Once I parked the car, I wasn't moving it again. There were neighborhood shops and stores nearby, so we were able to buy a few groceries. Getting around with Uber and buses was easy and convenient.

Great stay

This house was a great place to stay for our trip to Philly. The house is very clean and comfortable. Communication with the hosts to set up the stay was easy. The street is narrow so don’t bring your SUV. We did find parking during the week.

Stay Like a Loca!

Julie’s place was a really nice and practical place to stay. It’s very clean and well stocked with kitchen necessities and even snacks! Our 30lb dog was able to accompany us, which is super appreciated. We enjoyed checking out the neighborhood shops and pubs in addition to the arts museum and many parks nearby. Definitely recommend!

Townhouse Close to Museums

This is a neat and clean renovated townhouse close to the art museums, with all the necessities for a pleasant stay. Street parking can be a little tight, but it is available and there are activity options within walking distance for those so inclined. The neighbor is quiet and peaceful. For members of the younger set, the house is well fitted out for families, with toys and games for children and gates on the staircases. We found the owners responsive to any questions and would definitely recommend this home to anyone who is ambulatory.

A Perfect Fit

The home was clean, comfortable, well-stocked, and perfectly located for our interests. It's a very walkable neighborhood, with lots of green space. Inside, we loved being able to work in the basement while others relaxed on the first floor, and I appreciated the child safety gates, which kept my small dog from following me up and down the stairs.

Restful in the city

My daughters and I had the best stay ever! The townhome was cute, clean and comfortable. My girls slept instantly and enjoyed watering the plants and playing with the toys and games. The neighbors were nice and helpful, the neighborhood was safe and quiet. The hostess was very nice and responsive. The products in the house were the same brands that I use so that was great too! We will definitely visit again when we visit Philly.

Nice place

The home is beautiful with many things to explore. Communicatiin was wonderful. The only things i can suggest is maybe instead of a day bed maybe another full or queen. Also the parking is horrible first come first serve but a lot of the stuff is walking distance

Fairmount apartment close to Art Museum

The location was great, the apartment is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, a short walk to the Philadelphia Art Museum. It was clean and well-furnished, and the owner was extremely accessible when we had questions. It's particularly well set up for small children (though we didn't have any in our party), with baby gates, a crib, and books and toys for kids. The ground floor was well air-conditioned, but the second floor (where most of the beds are) was not, but it cooled off OK at night with fans and open windows. My eighty-one year-old mother did wish for a grab bar in the shower. Overall, we had a great stay.
