Spacious and Modern Urban Retreat in Philly Art Museum Area
I enjoyed staying here. The photos in the listing do a great job at showing the space and was a close 7 minutes to center city. All amenities like towels, shower gel, shampoo were included. The host had great communication and the checkout procedure was very easy. I would easily decide to stay here again.

Entire Home in University City. 4bd Very Spacious!
Great place for a medium to large group of friends to stay. Walkable to UPenn and many convenience stores. Place is very spacious and is bigger in person than in the photos. The only issue we ran into was there was no toilet paper in the house. Overall, a great place to stay if you are visiting Philly.

Spacious 4BD/3BA, HUGE Roof Deck
Anne's placed worked great for our family. Convenient for walking to area restaurants etc. Nice layout including an open kitchen area with a large dining table for meals and playing games. Townhouse had an amazing view of the city from the 3rd floor and the rooftop!

Charming Trinity near Rittenhouse
Stormy's Rittenhouse 1BR unit was lovely! What immediately stood out was that it was fully decorated on all floors with personal items reflecting Stormy's taste, which was far opposed to many other Airbnb's which seem sterile and impersonal. Additionally, the day bed was shockingly comfortable (I'm about 6 foot tall and sleeping was no issue). For my first time in Philadelphia, the location could not have been better! It was central to just about all we were interested in seeing and served as a perfect respite when we stopped back between outings. Finally, Stormy was incredibly kind and communicative all throughout our stay. I'd return to this unit in a heartbeat!

Art Museum Area Stunning Studio
1. Twisted Grounds Coffee was a block and a half away. Highly recommend. 2. The Green Room is also a block and a half away. Bar food and drinks. Opens at 3 pm. The portions are huge. So, keep that in mind. Cash only. 3. I don't mind walking a mile or two...and most cool stuff is that far away or less. Mutter Museum, Eastern Penitentiary (must see), Philadelphia Art Museum, Rodin Museum, and the Franklin Institute. 4. Center City with Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, multiple museums is a quick bus ride away on Septa 33. 5. Target and Fine Wine Liquors is about 5 and a half blocks away. 6. I mention the distance because walking or taking public transport is your best bet. I had a rental but it was more cost effective and easier to walk or bus. I did drive to Valley Forge. Also, well worth it. 7. Finally, only minor complaint, the wifi signal was weak. But, I have unlimited data (like most of us do) so not a huge issue. 8. Friendliest people you will ever meet.

Anvihaven Center City
We had a great stay! The house was very tidy and comfortable

Quiet Clean 3BR house by Sport Complex
Awesome spot! Felt like a local in a cool neighborhood. Walked to coffee. Subway a block away to get anywhere. Parked right in front of the home! The house is incredible. And Tuan’s touches of the snacks and pay for beer and everything labeled and easily figured out LOVED this. And this guy knows tons of pillows and soft towels are a must! Ample of both! We never heard anything of the outside, so quiet, and great comfortable airflow and beds for all. High recommend!

Lovely 2br home in E. Passyunk!
Megan's place is perfectly located for a South Philly weekend. Close to the best restaurants, down the street from the coffee house and across the square from Milk Jawn. Her place was clean, comfortable and just like home. I highly recommend. Thank you Megan!

Bright&Modern: Minutes to Stadiums|Passyunk|Airprt
The place was came as advertised. We were in town for 3 Phillies games and the location was perfect, a 10 minute Uber ride to the ballpark. The unit had everything we needed and was clean and updated. We loved it!

Renovated, Historic Row Home in Fitler Square!
Echoing other reviews: cozy, well furnished (not too much and not too little), well kept. Nice n' warm even with single-digit temps outside. Easy communication and coordination with the hosts. Great location as well: - easy 15-min. walk to 30th Street/Amtrak station - Mr Rabbit Coffee around the block (get the chocolate-chip cookie) - Rival Bros Coffee a few blocks away (get the peanut butter toast) - neighborhood felt 100% safe - easy 15-min walk to Rittenhouse Sq (try K'Far!) It was a great way to explore the non-tourist part of this great city!

Philly Town House: 12 Min walk to Center City
Kezia was an A+ host! Perfect place for our team. Absolutely perfect for us!

The Historic Walkable Washington Square West Home
Fantastic spot, walkable to so many of the best parts of Philly yet it feels like it’s in a quaint and quiet neighborhood of the city. Super charming and comfortable, would definitely recommend!

Fresh One Bedroom Apartment in University City
Comfortable and clean little apartment! Incredibly convenient to Penn and West Philly. I very much enjoyed my stay! Be warned that parking is tricky during the week, but it becomes very easy on Friday nights and the weekends, and there are garages nearby.

Your Perch at University City
Great stay. Beautiful place. Close to UPenn. Very generous selection of complimentary snacks. Thank you. We will be back.

Gem: garden, parking, playroom, sauna, walkable
Larry & Marla's place was incredible. It is a quaint row home that is actually their home so there is a level of comfort this place has that can't be described. What I enjoyed most about this Airbnb is that it is in a safe, quiet, residential neighborhood. Because it's away from "the city", there aren't strange characters roaming the streets at night. I went on a few walks at night and felt perfectly safe. Additionally, it's nice to have a dedicated parking spot 50 feet away, just around the corner. Sure, this home may have some small flaws. Keep in mind this is an old home. The stairs are going to creak; you may have to pull some of the doors a little harder for it to latch, but that's a minor inconvenience for the area you're in. If you're looking for a nice, quaint home in a safe, quiet, residential neighborhood and if you remember there is some "character" to the home because of its age, then this is the place you want to stay!

Fully Renovated Historical Designer Townhouse
This is a must stay! Such a cute neighborhood and the space is very welcoming. Ease of getting in and out was fantastic and Helena was a very easy host to work with. I will be back for sure!

Spacious Home, Sleeps 8. Free Prvt Parking & Patio
We stayed while in town to see a show at the Academy of Music and it was a great spot! Loved the neighborhood and the unit was comfortable and as described. And loved that there was parking!

Beautiful House Steps from the Art Museum
Cozy little townhouse. Excellent location for exploring the art museums! We stayed 5 days in Feb 2025. Walk everywhere from here! 50 feet from the front door & you can see the PMOA about 3 blocks away. Walk 1 mile down large main roads to the Rodin & Barnes. 2 miles gets you to downtown. Safe area. I checked on that before booking. We were out late and always felt safe. It's the type of neighborhood with lots of young single people walking dogs & jogging. Many cool bars & restaurants in easy walking distance. I was very surprised at how peaceful it was. Only thing I heard at night was train whistles. The house only shares 1 wall, and I never heard or saw those neighbors. Parking is tough in that area but the city lot next to the Eastern State Penn was only a 10 min walk and you can pay for multiple days on the Parkwhiz app. $30 per day and a 10 min walk was well worth it for peace of mind. Everything was exactly as described and very clean. I highly recommend this place.

Luxury Townhouse w/Roofdeck close to Stadiums
Scott is my new gold standard for AirBnB hosts. He was proactive, thoughtful, and really went the extra mile to make our relatively short stay in Philly very comfortable. His place is great for a small group of friends, and has a real luxury touch. It felt warm and cozy during our December stay, and I would bet it makes a great spot during the summer with outdoor space and roof access. Next time I come back to Philly, I'm reaching out to Scott first.

Stunning Townhome w/ City Skyline View & Rooftop!
Perfect for our group that was in town for NCAA Wrestling at Wells Fargo Center

Washington Sq West Full Townhouse.
Sebastian’s place was just what we needed, really close to lots of restaurants! The place was as described and worked well for our group of 4!

Cozy Home Drexel
So quiet, comfortable beds, super-clean and spacious home. We'll definitely book again as our daughter just moved in a few blocks away.

Townhouse in Old Fishtown
I was in a quandary with a previous host being uncommitted to our reservation. I felt lucky to find a place with less than 8 days to the event bringing me and my family to Philly. Amanda was immediately responsive to my inquiry and many follow up questions. She was incredibly flexible about both check-in and checkout times and clear about expectations. The place was clean and spacious and probably the best equipped AB&B household I have ever visited. I have no reservations about giving her a 5 star review Terry

Design Row House in Fishtown w/ Two King Beds!
We loved our stay at Marina's home. We had no problem finding a parking spot out front then we just uber'd wherever we wanted to go. We loved pizza beddia (marina's suggestion) a good 15-20 minute walk there. The home was cozy and just a great place to stay.
