Lovely decor throughout the entire building, patio and balcony were nice additions to our room which was clean, comfortable, and private. Ken was very helpful and gave us a list of restaurants which had open reservations for the night we arrived. Location is perfect for local tourism. Would stay again!

A last minute booking for a two night stay in Philly turned out to be a wonderful experience. Great location for walking the city. Clean with a beautiful decor . The owners/hosts provided an overview of the city and recommendations at check in which helped make the most of our short trip. Enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

We stayed on the top level suite and it was absolutely superb! It was amazing to have a little bit more space all to ourselves so we were able to get some groceries and coffee and just hang out. Victoria‘s hospitality was above and beyond and really gave you the layout of the city right when you got there. The property was perfect for walking around and getting out and about in A surrounded by a ton of amazing restaurants, restaurants. We will definitely be coming back!
