Pros:
Close to great donuts, coffee, cheesesteaks, and other food
Having the park across the street is fabulous for kids and dog
Lots of space to sleep, relax, and get ready
Communication was great
Cons:
The area rugs and bathroom rugs need cleaned, replaced, or just taken out
The washer and drier need replaced. The washer has a spot that the socks got stuck in and the drier doesn’t dry great.
For me the wall plug ins made the house smell worse and were way to strong
The beds are ok but could also be replaced soon. The frames are starting to break
The biggest con was parking. We were there for four days and never once were able to park in front of the building. We always had to park at least a block away. This wasn’t really too big of a deal except the night we got there and needed to unpack 4 kids, a dog, and all of our stuff.
Overall though the cons are minor things that could just make the place that much better. I’d definitely stay again because the pros outweigh the cons easily.

We spent a week in this lovely 3 story home.
Close to the historic sites, with easy parking found out front
Lots of steep steps inside, so a little difficult for my 83 year old dad, but we loved the character of the home and neighborhood.

We had a great 2 night stay in Philadelphia at this rental. Everything was as advertised. Parking was never an issue, coffee was excellent just around the corner at Herman’s and location was good for getting around town. The home was nice & clean too. As other people have previously noted, there are a lot of narrow, noisy stairs, but that didn’t trouble us. (2 adults, 2 teens)

We loved our stay! House is clean, well-kept, spacious, and comfortable. Quiet area, with bus pick up on the corner. We loved having a bath w each BR, plus laundry. Stairs are a bit steep, but it’s a very old home. Only suggestions: kitchen needs teaspoons, a few light bulbs need replaced, some floor nails sticking up. A unique place to stay, updated and a great price for all the space in the city! Loved our vacation in Philadelphia. Thank you =)

Yes, the stairs. My kids loved going up and down all 29 (yes my daughter counted) and mine are 7 and 3 years ild. Just don’t come here to recover from knee surgery.
But this place was so great, absolutely would stay again. Full bathrooms for each bedroom was a luxury, and they were very nicely done. Thoughtful amenities throughout, if I had to give a constructive criticism it would be basic staples in the kitchen (we cook a lot). The location is great, close but not in the chaos of the city, and my kids loved the park. We didn’t have any trouble parking right in front, although advanced parallel parking skills are required sometimes. Communication with the owners was easy and they were responsive. Philly was such a great part of our trip, and this house was super cool!

Great property. I am a vrbo owner myself, so I am very picky. We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, having 3 1/2 baths is unheard of in Philly. The outdoor space was very nice for entertaining. I did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was well equipped for that. The owner was very responsive. We will be back.

The property manager was awesome. Great response time and instant answers. The house feels like home. Large living area for everyone to gather, great kitchen and comfy beds. I would definitely stay here again.

The house was exactly as pictured and listed. Check in process was very simple and communication with the owners was great. We were with in walking distance to lots of places and were able to Uber Eats and Door Dash dinners. Across the street is a pretty little park.
A few things to note, but IN NO WAY negative. Since this is a row house that has been renovated. There are still original structural features in the house. The steps are narrow and are not as deep as "modern" steps. Be prepared to "duck walk" up and down them and wear shoes so you don't slip!
As mentioned in the listing, you may have to park up the road a little if you are getting there after 6pm. That was not an issue for us at all, as we enjoyed walking and looking at the beautiful streets. Please know, that where ever you park, you have to parallel park. The streets are narrow and we were in a mini van, which made it more difficult to park.

Property was just as advertised, in a good location adjacent to Jefferson Park and a short Lyft ride to downtown. Kevin was quick to respond to the few small issues we encountered and took good care of us. There is one restaurant, bar, and coffee shop just around the corner, but other options are a 15-20 minute walk away.
Keep in mind all bedrooms are upstairs, but each has a private bath and there is a half bath on the ground floor.
Quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again. Check it out.

Absolutely as advertised! Walking distance to numerous restaurants and pubs; convenient to South Street as well.
One note: this is an older property (though updated throughout) and the stairs are rather narrow. Be careful on them.
Definitely recommend!

My family of 5 stayed here recently during the Philadelphia portion of our family summer vacation. The house is located in a nice area and is in easy walking distance to most of the sites we went to. We did use our car a couple times to get around. We were able to find street parking right outside the house without a problem. I would say if you were to arrive by car in the later portion of the evening, you might have to park a block or two away.
There are plenty of nice restaurants nearby and theirs a Target nearby if you need some groceries.
The house was clean and comfortable. There was enough room for everyone. Each room has its own bathroom.
Like all the houses around there, it’s narrow and tall. There are a lot of stairs. It was no problem for us, but if you have people in your group who have trouble with stairs, you might consider another location. For anyone else, though, I highly recommend this property.

A true gem located in the most quiet/safe neighborhood in Philly
Kevin was an amazing host during our stay. Always made sure that we had everything we needed from his place and very quick to respond to any concerns/questions we had during our stay. Our friends and family along with our dogs came to visit for a wedding weekend and we all had a great time! Not only it is conveniently close to all the popular restaurants that South Philly has to offer (within walking distance) but the park right in front of his place was incredibly clean and convenient for our dogs, even during late hours! Parking was super easy to find. Great neighborhood down in south Philly and very safe. Would highly recommend, just be sure to respect the quiet hours in his neighborhood. Thanks again for having us Kevin!
