Beautiful House in Heart of Center City Philadelphia

My major issue is the basement door. The place is fairly dusty and could use a good sweep. The layout is quaint but quickly becomes annoying, especially when getting to the second bedroom means you have to pass through the first one. I felt the beds were uncomfortable as they are fairly firm. Having two baths is nice even if the shower stall is kinda tight in the first one. Hot water heater is a good size, able to have multiple hot showers one after the other. Noise from the street is pretty loud. The lockbox was a bit hard to find at night and the door is a bit tricky. Now my major issue, the basement door does not lock. I couldn't even tell if it latched. There was no deadbolt on it and when getting the key out of the lock box I noticed there was a bunch of stuff piled infront of it outside so I looked closer and it didn't have a deadbolt key hole. Upon getting inside the first thing I did was check that door and there's a bunch of stuff stacked infront of it in the basement to keep it shut. Specifically a heavy exercise weight among boxes and such. No lock only a pile of stuff. Which not great but okay I get it, however the door into the basement inside also didn't have a lock so this is very much just an exposed door. Yes it would take some work to get through but it's not enough that I felt safe in trusting that door.

The host, Sophie, was very quick to come over and help us with a situation we had when we first arrived. She was very responsive and went above and beyond to assure that our stay was well accommodated. The home has everything you may need, including snacks in the kitchen and extra towels. The location cannot be any better - close to everything downtown and a very safe neighborhood. My group felt totally secure walking around at night. The home even has cool history to it which added to our Philly experience. I would definitely recommend!

Overall the place was great. The kitchen was well provisioned and the place had a cozy feel. The stairs are no joke, but the location can't be beat.

Our stay was wonderful. Quick walk to the grocery and the parking garage we found using SpotHero as suggested by the Host. Our Host replied to our messages quickly and helped with any questions we had. The residence was clean and safe for my family. Location was great, close to museums but also convenient for the historical sights. We found breakfast on the way to the Liberty Bell without issue. When we head back to Philadelphia we will be staying in the same place.

Sophie is a great host who was very quick in responding to us. The house has all the basics and is 3 floors. I wasnt quite clear that there was not parking on site, but I may have overlooked that in the details.

Sophie was an incredible host. She was easy to get in touch with and even came over when we were having difficulty with the front door. Additionally, she provided some good tips for parking in the city. The house is in a central location with lots of restaurants in walking distance. The one recommendation I would make is an updated Roku for the tv. Several of the aps would not load, but we were able to access the free Roku channel.

Owner was great to work with and has place set up well. We had everything we needed. Thank you!

Sophie was easy to work with and made the entire experience easy. Thank you!!

Very good location, clean and well fitted out. Would certainly stay again if I get to Philly

Our stay at Sophie's place was just what we needed - a simple place to call home base and get a hot shower and a great night's sleep every night. Sophie was extremely accessible for questions and the neighborhood was perfectly situated steps from Logan's Square and quiet at night. Waking to the birds chirping and the church bells ringing was a treat!
