The Historic & Walkable Philadelphia Washington Square West 2 bed/2 bath Home

Great location, walkable to most of center city sights. Also close to multiple public transit options, which makes it easy to get around. Parking, like most of downtown Philadelphia, can be a challenge. Unrestricted street options and a parking garage are a few blocks away, so not the best option if you want easy access to your car while staying, but this should be expected being in a downtown area. Overall a great stay and it's pet friendly!

Lovely house close to every thing we wanted to see and do. The host was very friendly and kind. I highly recommend this place.

We loved staying in a home with so much history and character. The location was great for getting to all of the attractions we wanted to see. If you want to feel like you are not only seeing history, but you also want to immerse yourself in it. This is the place for you!

Fantastic location and very quiet neighborhood. Close proximity to myriad of restaurants and nearby historic sites.Very clean house and excellent WiFi connectivity. Highly recommend.

We lived here in the late 90s Came back to see the city and eat some delicious food

Brooks place was charming comfortable and fun! We had everything a family would need while traveling and then some. Our location was perfect for walking absolutely everywhere. The restaurants and bars in this neighborhood are all awesome and delicious. And Brook went above and beyond when our flight was delayed and he let us stay cozy and warm later than planned. It was a perfect trip!!!

House was beautiful and in a good location. The stairs are definitely steep and may be a little hard to manage with luggage and the small streets getting to the house are cobblestone but otherwise it was easy to get to. The history in the area is very cool. Everything in the house worked well.

There is so much good to share! The house is cute and quaint. Communication was good. The location was good and central to most everything. The food in this area…13th and Samson is GREAT. Bud & Marilyn’s, El Vez and Prunella were amazing. The neighborhood is full of pride in itself and its history. We had no idea that we were in the Gayborhood or really what that meant; but we loved it, learned its story and felt safe. The beware are the stairs, because those were a workout. Bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen are only available via stairs but once you accept the challenge and use the handrails you are good to go.

Our family of four had a great stay in this charming historical home during our long weekend stay in Philly. The communication and check in was flawless. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint and close to everything you could need. We walked daily to all of the historical sites and museums. The beds were comfortable and all amenities provided. We recommend this home for your next stay in Philly!

This house has a lot of charm and character and is in a wonderful, centrally-located neighborhood. Even better, it is on a very quiet side street, so we heard very little city noise. It is well-maintained and well-stocked with food, kitchen and toiletry items that visitors might need. As other reviews have noted, though, the stairs are steep, narrow, and winding, and must be navigated to reach the kitchen and the bedrooms, so this property wouldn't be appropriate for anyone with mobility challenges.

This carless street makes you feel like you are in a quiet neighborhood despite being in Center City. Most things are within a short walk or rideshare away. 10/10

We really enjoyed our stay at this historical home on this cobblestone Street! House was full of character and the bedrooms were both so comfortable… Our host could not have been more hospitable & kind!

Listing should be more prominent about the stairs! Overall we had a good stay.

We loved the historic house and the very vibrant neighbourhood. And the independent spaces for two adults. It was walkable to theatre, shops, and the American Independence historic areas. The host had good recommendations for restaurants etc. We knew the stairs were steep. They did have good railings and treads. Speaking as a senior, I would suggest safety bars in the bathroom with the tub and non-slip bathmats.

This was great for my husband and I as we visited all the great historical places in Philadelphia. Great stereotypical colonial-era house in great condition. Wonderful amenities in the house provided by the host!

The house was perfect for a week long stay. AC works well, fully stocked with everything you need and very comfortable. Neighborhood has narrow roads and lots of cars so plan for parking difficulties.

We were there to celebrate the 4th of July. We are descendants of one of the signer’s of the Declaration of Independence. My niece was tapping the Liberty Bell. The townhouse and neighborhood are adorable. Great restaurants and we could quickly get around town.

Great place in the heart of the city. Loved the pedestrian street and the house itself had a lot of character. Very walkable neighbor. We parked in the acme parking garage (near Whole Foods).

This property is in a great location for seeing the sites and enjoying the food and culture of Philadelphia. The neighbors are friendly, the host is super responsive and the accommodations are very comfortable. We had zero complaints!
