About this property

Historic 3 story Center City Row House near attractions -Washington Sq.

This property is an entire two bedroom and two bath home on 3 stories plus a basement with washer and dryer and a roof deck. It is spacious because it is double wide - two trinity houses were combined. Located on a charming street in Philadelphia only a few blocks from historic sites like Independence Mall, City Hall and the Liberty Bell and longer walk to Philadelphia Art Museum, it is in trendy neighborhood with many top rated restaurants and shops.

The first floor has a living room and an eat-in fully equipped kitchen. The house has central heat and air conditioning. The 2nd floor has a den with fireplace and large screen TV. The bedroom on this floor has a queen bed. There is a full bath with a shower. The 3rd floor bedroom has a queen bed and one daybed in the dressing area. There is no door between the bed room and dressing area but it is around the corner. There is a full bathroom with a shower/tub combination on this floor.

There is shared garden area in the back and there is seating and a cool view on the roof deck.

The house has many amenities: wood fireplace, dishwasher, laundry, coffee maker, microwave, full refrigerator and all the essentials are there (fresh towels, linens, extra blankets, soap, hair dryer, etc.).

Just a few blocks from the PA Convention Center, a block from the Kimmel Center and near the heart of all the historic sights Philadelphia. This home has a lot to offer - a cool neighborhood with many top rated restaurants and bars, close to grocery stores and a short subway ride to South Philadelphia Sport Complex - home to Eagles, Phillies, 76ers and the Flyers.

Our home is in the middle of the Washington Square West neighborhood and it was built in 1858. It is one of the oldest and most historic areas in Philadelphia. The neighborhood is residential with historic townhouses, but also walking distance to everything in Philadelphia including many restaurants, bars, & attractions. The Pennsylvania Convention Center, Rittenhouse Square, Old City, Society Hill, South Street, Bella Vista, and Graduate Hospital are all within a five to ten minute walk. You'll find everything you might need within walking distance including a corner store, coffee shops, Whole Foods, a wine/liquor store, CVS and many top rated bars and restaurants!

**Like most houses built in the period, please be aware that this property has somewhat steep stairs. The stairs to the roof deck are VERY steep and shallow. It is not handicapped accessible.

Public transportation (bus and subway) is easily accessible. A bus stop and the subway stop (Broad Street Line) are a few blocks away. The house is within walking distance to two major train stations (Suburban Station and Jefferson Station). 30th Street Station is a ten minute Uber/Lyft/cab ride. The airport is 25 minutes by Subway or twenty minute by Uber/Lyft/cab ($28.50 is the set fare for cab + $1 for additional passengers)

Uber, Lyft, and taxis are all readily available in the area. There is also an Indego bike share station just a couple blocks from the house.

Because our home is located on a car-free street in the heart of the city, nearby street parking can be limited.

We want to make your stay in our home in Philadelphia pleasant so please let us know how we can help!

Perfect location; lovely home
We were in Philly for a 3-day event at the Wells Fargo Center. Beth's home was the perfect location to take the subway back and forth, and close to everything in Center City. The house itself is terrific (you have to not mind stairs). The kitchen is well-equipped; the refrigerator even has water and ice in the door! Wi-fi is good. It was clean and spacious for three of us. I'd stay there again!

Lovely property, fantastic location
Location, location, location. This place is in an ideal location for my recent trip. Everything I wanted to do was in walking distance, though I did take Uber to the museum. Such a nice house, 3 floors, clean and comfortable. I'd stay again if there's another chance. You can't go wrong here. Met and exceeded expectations.

Beautiful Historic Home
Great stay overall. The stairs are steep and we found ourselves making multiple trips up and down since the kitchen is on the first floor but bedrooms and bathrooms are on floors 2 and 3. It was too cold to utilize the rooftop deck but it would be a great space to relax with a drink during warmer weather. The heater works just fine but not really a consistent temp between all floors. Relatively quiet neighborhood, there was some noise late Friday night into the early morning but no noise problems at all Saturday and Sunday night.

I enjoyed staying in this property. It made me fill like I was stepping back into history. It had a cozy feel and was close to many eateries. Perfect location if you did not rent a car and don't mind getting in your walking steps.

Perfect Philadelphia Row House?
My husband and I stayed at this 3 story row house while visiting our son and daughter-in-law. Staying here was a story book Philadelphia experience. The property is located on a quiet street lined with quintessential row houses. The house itself is updated with many charming characters preserved. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with essentials. With a two block walk, you find yourself on lively streets with many restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. It felt safe to walk both during the daytime and evenings. Our host was very responsive to inquiries and requests. It was a pleasure staying here and I would definitely look to staying again during future Philadelphia visits.

Wonderful Home in Philadelphia
My husband, mother-in-law, and 8-year-old loved the home and location. The house easily accommodated us all and is nicely spread out amongst three floors. The kitchen is great for those who want to cook and eat some meals in. We walked everywhere, including to the liberty bell, national constitution center, and the Franklin Institute. We felt very safe, and loved the cobblestone roads in the neighborhood. Would definitely book again!

Perfect Central Location
This rental was PERFECT, the location is great, it was perfect for hanging out with the family, and had all the amenities we needed. The neighborhood is safe and so close to a lot of the iconic features of Philly. We will definitely be staying again when we visit. Even though there is no parking it didn’t hinder our experience at all, we just parked in the Hamilton garage for the weekend and it was less than 10 minute walk.

Great location
This VRBO was a great location to walk into the City (if you don't mind walking). It was quiet and the four of us had room. The bedroom on the second floor does not have curtains so those who sleep there might have trouble of they are sensitive to light. The kids and I ended up on the third floor and my husband tried the second bedroom and couches. Host made it easy. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Beth

Host profile image
My name is Beth L, my husband and I live in Connecticut. My husband Dan was born in Philly and is an Eagles season ticket holder so we are in town a lot. We purchased this property while our daughter was attending Temple University. This is us at Penn's Landing on New Year's eve for the fireworks - it was cold then but it's lovely walk in the other seasons! My daughter has since graduated but lives in the "City of Brotherly Love" a few blocks away so she can help visitors out.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because it is so close to the Broad Street Septa subway line - easy to Temple, easy to Philly Sport Complex. Our daughter lived here during her college years. It is in the heart of City but on quiet no car cobblestone street. With three floors, there is plenty of space for the whole family.
