Renovated Historic Row Home in Fitler Square!
About this house rental
Located in Philadelphia, this charming house for £155 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Beautifully renovated, historic trinity home with amazing location! Located in the heart of Fitler square, our single family row home was built in 1825 and renovated in 2020. Trinity homes are a unique part of Philadelphia’s history and are traditionally one room per floor, connected by a narrow circular staircase. (See photos to be sure you feel comfortable navigating!) Walk to 30th St Station, Schuylkill Trail, CHOP, UPenn, Drexel, Rittenhouse, Fitler Square and more! New HEPA air filter! Our private, modern colonial style home has a living room and kitchen on the first floor. The second floor has the bathroom and two private sleeping spaces: one bedroom with a queen bed, and a second bedroom (no closet) with two twin beds. The third floor stairs open into the final bedroom with an attached balcony and working grill. Window a/c units, robust wifi, and a kitchen with all the amenities you need. Trinities are called America's first tiny homes - while the home sleeps 6 comfortably, the living room space is not large - please view the photos! A note: Our laundry team enters the home to pick up and drop off linens from the basement on Tuesday and Thursday mid-mornings. Guests are welcome to be home or away during their quick stop.

Easy to find in a great location close to the Parkway, Penn and downtown, in a nice, diverse family neighborhood, this home is cozy and easily accommodated my three friends and me. Spiral staircase might be a challenge for some, but my 6'6" friend and I (6'7") managed fine. Hosts are very communicative and got right back to me if I had a question. A good place to sleep while exploring the city, the mattresses were excellent.

I stayed here for three nights with my husband and two children (7 & 5) over spring break. We thought the house was great overall—it was cool to see a historical home from 1810, and while small, it was comfortable for our downtime when we weren’t exploring the city. We were aware of the stairs being narrow and steep, but like other reviewers I’d just give a heads up for anyone with small children or mobility issues.
The owner was very thorough when communicating with us, and even let us check in early when we reached out because we had finished early at the zoo. There is a great guide on the kitchen wall, too. One thing I’d point out is that the neighbors are very strict about quiet time from 10pm to 8am. It was a little hard to keep the kids quiet in the morning but not a big issue for us.
There were a couple of things that need some attention though. First, the floors had not been cleaned. I had put on clean white socks and they were filthy within a few hours. You could also see in the bathroom that they just looked dirty. Then there were ants in the kitchen and bathroom. Not a ton of them, but I’m sure the owners will want to spray. The last thing isn’t a huge issue, but on the board in the kitchen it mentioned having AC units during the spring and summer months. It is mid-April and it got up to 85 while we were there, so it would have been nice to have them put in. The last night was pretty warm up on the third floor.
Overall we had a great time though!

We loved the location and enjoyed staying in a historic Trinity home. Jessica, the owner, was lovely to communicate with and responded quickly when we reached out to her.
Upon arrival, it was clear that the home had not been cleaned well. I contacted Jessica, and she promptly communicated with her cleaning crew and refunded our cleaning fee, which I greatly appreciated. I suspect that future renters will not have to worry about this issue.
All of us slept very well in the comfortable beds. Each of our two teenage boys had their own rooms, which was nice, and the balcony off the master bedroom was a treat with a view of the skyscrapers.
We really enjoyed walking the neighborhood(s) in and around the home and delighted in grabbing bites at local joints that were just steps from our front door. We felt like true Philadelphians. If you are considering a trip to Philly, you would be hard pressed to find a better location and a more charming home.

Living in History.
The intimate three floors connected by the worlds steepest stairway Is a real charmer. Located among other quality “rowhouses” creates a great historical ambience. Interior has been extremely well restored, especially the bathroom. Book it!

Jessica's place is a gem!
Wow! We just absolutely loved this charming property and the neighborhood. My children now want to live in Fitler Square. The house was clean, comfortable and updated with modern furnishings. We were able to walk to local restaurants and coffee shops. The best part for me was walking to the Schuylkill river park which has such lovely views. We will definitely be back as we have much more to explore in Philly. Thank you so much!

My family of 5 loved this property! The location made it possible to walk to most of the must-see Philadelphia sights. There was convenient pay parking located within a short walking distance. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom and kitchen were clean, and the host was excellent with communication. We would definitely recommend!

This trinity was the perfect headquarters for our visit to the city. The hosts have put attention to the details that matter. The decor was clean, simple and comfortable. The linens and mattresses were top notch. The bathtub was deep and clean with ample hot water for a soak.
The neighborhood was quiet and cozy with a friendly family buzz in the mornings. An excellent neighborhood restaurant on the corner (Ambrosia) and many coffee shops and green spaces in walking distance.
Only thing is that the steep trinity stairs are best for nimble folks, and parking was a little bit of a challenge. If you can arrive by public transport you won’t need a car. Everything you could want is nearby, even while the place feels tucked away. Highly recommended.

We loved this Trinity home from the history of the home itself to the location, very family oriented. Has everything you could possibly need for an extended getaway. Cute coffee shops (we liked Rival Bros and Rowhome Coffee) and restaurants all within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Jessica’s home. It is just as cute in person as it was in the on line posting. Fitler Square is an ideal location -charming, historic, and walkable to UPenn, Rittenhouse Sq, And more. Jessica is a great communicator.

Our family reserved this space so we could come and go rather easily from the city center of Philadelphia. However, once we opened the door to this beautiful home, we found a whole new direction for our adventure. We adored Fitler Square! The architecture, parks, history and beauty drew us in! Our family of five spent hours exploring the community. The home is a beautiful, clean, well-equipped space to stay. The cleanliness was exceptional! Beds and furnishings top of the line! We travel often throughout the US. This experience in Fitler Square and particularly this historical home is one of our very favorites!

Adorable, clean, practical home, it had everything we needed for our 3 nights in Philly. The home fit myself, husband and 2 small children just fine. The stairs were a bit tricky but we were completely aware of that while booking. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint. We were able to walk to the “Rocky steps”, Rittenhouse park, Market street, and Sunset Social for a rooftop movie, just to name a few! We would absolutely go back!

This place was such a fun adventure! I grew up in a row house, but a Trinity house is very different! The stairs are unique, and with all of the hand holds, it was like climbing to a tree house all the way to the 3rd floor! It was such an interesting house that I had to research more about these Trinity homes, their history, and the resurgence of interest in this tiny homes! I would definately stay there again!
