Vacation rentals with a patio in University City, Philadelphia

Clean and comfortable, right on South St thus close to many restaurants and historic attractions. Safe and busy area. Mandy was very easy to communicate with!

Very easy to communicate with. Gave lots of accurate information about the place and things to do in area!

Nachman's carriage house is a very quiet place in the hub of Philly suburbs. Very conveniently close to food, stores, parks, etc. The space is quite large and without carpets so sound inside is a bit loud. The main queen bed frame is older so it does make noise when a body shifts. A couple of table side lamps would be nice but the overhead lighting was certainly sufficient. The grounds are being renovated though we never saw workman about. The kitchen area and the bathroom downstairs are updated and really great to use. Note: full flight of stairs to get to those areas. We had to cut our stay short however, Nachman was positively responsive when we did. Everything was very clean. Which I really appreciated. We will return as it is close to our relatives in the area.

This was a fabulous place with a great location. Greg and Devon had amazing communication with us (it was raining and they informed us where the umbrellas were). I will be back to visit Philly and hopefully the amazing AirBnB!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rob and Amanda are lovely hosts and Sparrow’s Nest is a gem! Great location and the apartment was clean, thoughtfully outfitted, and quite cozy. Dedicated parking was a major plus. Would stay again!

Internet was not working when I arrived for a work trip. Eli promptly fixed it. Clean, quiet neighborhood and walking distance to a grocery store and good Chinese food. Would stay again!

Great, quiet place to stay!

Clean and comfortable studio located in a great location near the Italian market area of Philly. Loved having the parking space that comes with the apartment. Would stay here again.

My gang of friends agreed we’d happily come back here again - lovely setting & big driveway for parking; comfy bedrooms and generous number of bathrooms; well-equipped kitchen compared to most rentals; pleasant but unobtrusive decor; and short, clear host instructions. And it was so warm for December that we even got to hang out on the patio, also comfy & welcoming. I think the only things (and they were very minor) that we’d recommend adding would be conventional potholders, a few more sets of silverware, a couple more DR chairs, and a reminder sign about the step down from the kitchen into the DR. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Thank you - our family get-together was great, especially because the house was warm and comfortable in the snow! Thank you Renaud!

We have two less-than-friendly dogs which has made visiting family in PA very difficult for us the past few years. Lana’s place was perfect for us and allowed us to come down for Christmas for the first time in a while! The dogs loved the big backyard and felt very comfortable inside. We loved the great central location and clean interior! It was easy to get to the highway and plenty of great parks, walks, and coffee shops close by! Will definitely be staying again to visit family and friends in the area!

Chantel's place was great. About 20 min from where I needed to go. Very clean. Looked like the picture. The bed was comfortable. The bedrooms were one flight up. The bathroom was very modern, shower was modern. She gave us enough towels and wash clothes and make up remover. She had a bottle of wine waiting for us, a nice touch. She was very responsive and quick to answer questions. Very easy to find her door and to get in. It was street parking but it was easy to find a spot.

Ana’s house was a perfect location to celebrate the holidays with my family.

Angela’s place was exactly as pictured and very clean! The place is also beautiful! Her message about entry was very detailed and helpful. She had a binder with helpful information including the schedule for the trains with all available stops. We will definitely stay again!

Matthew was very responsive and was helpful in accommodating our schedule. Great location.

We had a nice stay. Parking was easy. Meng answered my questions quickly. The beds were comfortable. I would recommend this property.

Staying with Aunt Lulu was an absolute delight! She is incredibly warm, kind, and caring—truly a host with a heart of gold. She took such great care of my dog and made me feel completely at home. Her place is nothing short of a five-star hotel! The bathroom was spotless—better than most luxury hotels—and came with a towel warmer, a bed warmer, and every type of tea you can imagine. She even provides essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and your own individual AC unit. The hospitality was unmatched. On my first night, she cooked us a delicious dinner and shared fascinating stories about her life. The bedroom was cozy, complete with a TV, and the breathtaking 180-degree view in living room made it feel like I was in both Philadelphia and New York at the same time. If you’re looking for a stay that combines comfort, warmth, and top-tier amenities, Aunt Lulu’s place is the perfect choice. You won’t regret booking with her!

The house we stayed at was great, very clean and getting in was a breeze. We were able to park around the corner all weekend and there are spaces available in close proximity. With just being us girls and not being there before the area was very walkable and we felt safe. Natasha made it very easy to get in and out of the apartment. Would absolutely go back!

Really enjoyed my stay in trolley square. Perfect location that’s walkable to local restaurants, cafes and parks. Only a 10 minute drive to the children’s hospital. The apartment was clean and felt like home. I noticed in previous reviews that there were complaints about the hot water pressure in the shower, the street parking and dogs nearby. I didn’t have any issues with the water pressure or parking. There is a dog at the neighbors place, but I didn’t notice any barking late at night. My only complaint about the apartment is that the bedroom has large windows and a door that are a bit drafty. I stayed here in the winter so that room was very cold despite the heat being on. Luckily there were many extra blankets available!

Gabriel was a great host with a very comfortable and clean apt

My group and I came to Philly for the Super Bowl and had a fantastic stay at Swida’s house. The place was cozy and spacious with plenty of room for our group. The house was perfectly situated right in center city and walkable to everywhere we needed to go. Swida was also a great host and super responsive. Overall, 10/10 stay and would definitely come back!

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend away and to catch a concert at the Fillmore. Overall, our stay was great. It was surprisingly quiet for being in a pretty active and bustling neighborhood. I felt very safe and we walked to and from our show late at night and we did most of our travel around the area by foot. It was very clean and comfortable. I appreciated the Nespresso as I require good coffee in the morning and don’t always wanna walk haha. Two things, the water pressure in the bathroom wasn’t great. I was able to get by but it took a while to shower. The parking situation isn’t great either, we were able to park in a public lot but it cost about $30/day. There is definitely opportunity for street parking but many areas had 2-3 hour limits and the spots were incredibly difficult to come by. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay in Philly. Very comfortable, safe and walkable. Go Birds! 🦅

We had a wonderful time Hala was responsive and helped me when I was running a little late to check in everyone was comfortable
