Great house in a wonderful location

Abby graciously accommodated our group after an unexpected problem arose with the home we booked originally - house was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and in a perfect location adjacent to Rittenhouse square. Definitely recommended

Marathon Weekend

House was spacious and perfect for marathon weekend. Primary bathroom shower didn’t drain well and the shower door on the other bathroom shower didn’t roll. There was no laundry detergent. Parking was a bonus

Wonderful property

The location could not be any better. Walking distance to Rittenhouse Square. Located on a quiet street with a wonderful deck it is a quintessential Philly home. Kitchen and living areas are great and the mattresses were very comfortable. We had some plumbing issues and an issue with a door but the host was very responsive. Parking is in the garage 3 to 4 blocks away comfortable walk and the garage staff was great. Would definitely go back again.

Return Visit to Philadelphia for Eagles game

We arrived Thursday and left Monday. The house was spacious (there were 5 of us), comfortable and very conveniently located near Rittenhouse Square. There were several restaurants and bars located nearby. Car parking was convenient but we walked (or took lublic transportation) everywhere so we didn't need to take the car out from the time we arrived until the time we left. I had a few questions upon arriving and got a quick response/resolution to my questions.

Rittenhouse for large family

There were 9 in our party of varying ages; 11 to 50. It is walkable to the square and a short drive to all the museums and attractions. We felt safe at this location and surrounding area.

Great location

This was a great location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The place was beautiful and had charm. The main downside was that there wasn’t air conditioning throughout the apartment which we didn’t expect based on the description, but we still enjoyed the stay overall and appreciated the communication.

Celebrating our daughter's college graduation in Philadelphia

The townhouse was just as described. It was located in a safe, upscale, clean neighborhood within a short walk to Rittenhouse Square, where we ate nearly every night and window shopped during our free time. The townhouse accommodated our six family members easily, and could have fit more! The owners were accessible and accomodating and the town house had more than ample room. We had a wonderful time.

Comfortable Stay but Potential Not Realized

There is so much going for this century + old property - charm and location especially. In some ways however, the maintenance and general upkeep did not do justice to the home itself. That said, as far as cleanliness goes, it did almost completely meet expectations. I had provided a pretty extensive list of concerns to the owner, and based on follow up I expect / hope they will be addressed for future guests.

Trip To Philly

Great neighborhood and hosts were incredibly friendly, kind and responsive. Beds were comfortable. But, overall - the property is not well maintained. Things work properly - shower, toilets, etc but this property is in major need of repairs and updating. Floors need to be redone. Holes and cracks in walls. Molding is coming off. Tiles cracked and coming up. Many areas not properly sealed. It is apparent that the property owners have been trying to patch problems with the least expensive options just to keep things functioning but it's really time to do things properly. I'm sure this is a very expensive/valuable property given the location and it's a real shame that proper care and attention to the cosmetic aspects of the home have been overlooked for years. The kitchen is nice and must have been redone recently - but the bedrooms, bathrooms and hallways are pretty beat up. Sorry to be so painfully direct about the stay (especially given how friendly and professional the hosts were) but it's only fair to other travels to provide honest and direct feedback.

Very nice row home

Overall it was a nice house in downtown Philly. Nicely furnished with modern kitchen appliances. Well stocked and a nice touch was the selection of snacks greeting us in the kitchen. Included valet parking garage was 3 blocks away. Neighborhood was fairly nice / residential, though the street had heavy traffic so was noisy early mornings. Groceries and restaurants were a block away, and several nice parks were about 3 blocks away. House was the perfect size for 5-6 people. Just be aware the house is really old, like the vast majority of these houses downtown, and floors are creaky, doors don't close right, etc.
