Cozy old city stay

Great location. The dining and living room are very large - perfect for entertaining. The house has a nice vintage vibe and was clean. There is a parking lot next door, but street parking was easy enough.

new year’s eve get together

this property was in a perfect location for walking all throughout philly. the flower shop underneath is super cute and the house decor is fun and personable. our host was very communicative and helped us with any questions we had. my only note is make sure you’re closing the red door with a decent amount of force to be sure it’s fully closed before you lock it. we had an amazing time at the old city flower house and definitely would book here again c:

Great location for walking everywhere!

We visited for a weekend - 3 adults and 3 youth and our dog. Eric is responsive and professional. The location was PERFECT for us as we like to explore by walking. Historic sites, great restaurants and bars all located within blocks. Loved the roof patio and people-watching on 3rd St. Charming parks close by to walk dog. Pros: clean, comfortable, well-maintained property, location close to so much, great host. Cons: noise from late-night bars on the street, parking limitations/cost.
