Great Way to Visit Philadelphia Area
The house was great for our family (five adults and three kids). The stairs are narrow and the rooms are relatively small, which is to be expected given the age of the house, but there was more than enough room for our stay and the common spaces fit us all easily. The third floor bedroom is not reached by the central air, but the owners have provided a window AC unit that kept the room pleasantly cool even during the heat wave that occurred while we were there.

Great Spot
We were in the Philadelphia area for over a week and this location was perfect….we were able to relax and recharge in a quiet setting while also being able to access center city, east falls, chestnut hill, manyunk, and the main line. Great spot, will definitely book again the next time I’m in the area.
