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 livingroom 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: stove, 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 on the Broad Street line to South Philadelphia Sport Complex - home to Eagles, Phillies, 76ers and the Flyers. In 2026 FIFA World Cup and MLB All Stars game.

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, Acme, a wine/liquor store, 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 ($32 is the flat rate 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. There are plenty of paid parking lots and garages nearby.

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

    This was our second time staying in Beth's lovely home. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-outfitted for our needs. The location is very safe and walkable to everything that we wanted to do. Beth was very responsive to any questions or communication. The instructions that she provided on parking and recommendations for neighborhood spots were excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

    Cute place in Philadelphia on a side street with no cars. Walkable to many places and not far off of Broad Street. Cute bakery on the corner. We did not cook but kitchen seemed well stocked with plates, coffee maker etc. Only caveat is that it is three levels so if you have trouble with stairs may not be the best as bathrooms and bedrooms are all up 1-2 flights. Bedrooms were good sized and the place was clean. We would stay here again.

    Enjoyed the beauty and character of the historic home and neighborhood. It was such a charming home that was filled with all the necessities of home. It was located in a good central area to the places we were visiting. Friendly and safe neighborhood. My only suggestion is if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs and/or an eye mask. The second floor bedroom has a streetlight right outside and the neighborhood is lively so when the restaurants start closing people take short cuts.Loads of parking options nearby. We are so glad to have found this place and are looking forward to next years trip to Philly so we can stay in this home again!

    We were thrilled with our 4 night stay. We went to 3 Phillies games and it couldn’t have been easier to navigate the train. Very close, within walking distance. The neighborhood was lovely and within walking distance of Reading Terminal and lots of historic sites. The property was very clean and actually spacious for a row house. It slept 5 very comfortably. The check-in was seamless with the key pad on the door. Property was well stocked with everything you need. We loved the experience of staying in an authentic row house!! Highly recommend this VRBO!Also, the owner was awesome and quick to answer any questions

We loved the cobblestones streets and walking to different places. The house has such charm. We were four adults and had lots of space to relax in. We had a rainy weekend, so we couldn't enjoy the roof top patio but we will definitely go back! Beth was an amazing host!

    The house is three floors with a roof deck. The kitchen located on the first floor is a great space for the family to all hangout with a cool view of a back shared patio among other homes. The second floor has a fantastic living room where we watched March Madness. The third floor has a master bed and a large alcove with bathroom where we put our 1yr to sleep (no crib, we brought a pack and play) and she slept soundly. The roof deck has steep stairs, but is rewarded with a cool view of other rooftops. I should note that the fire places are not usable. Altogether I would highly recommend the 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.

    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.
