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
Sean and Anne were great to allow us to stay at their house when we had a last minute cancellation. The place is huge; our family of four had plenty of room to relax after exploring Philly. The kitchen is fully equipped, we couldn’t use the patio or rooftop because we had snow, but the house was the perfect shelter for the little storm we had. Communication was smooth, with simple check in and check out instructions. There are a lot of details in each room (like bottles of water, chargers, games, snacks) to make sure you are comfortable and enjoy your stay, like we did.

Charming Trinity near Rittenhouse
When we walked into Stormy's house, we immediately felt at home. It's well-appointed and makes the most out of the space (it's exactly like the pictures in her listing as well). While we were out and about in the city most of the day, the house's central location enabled us to stop by occasionally before going onto to our next activity. Stormy is a responsive and proactive host as well, particularly given that the Eagles were playing the Super Bowl over the weekend we were there (and won...go Birds!).

Art Museum Area Stunning Studio
Enjoyed staying here with a friend for a night, comfortable and Valerie was always responsive. Good location with decent transit access and nearby amenities.

Quiet Clean 3BR house by Sport Complex
Tuan has a very beautiful home and great space for a family to stay. He left us a bottle of wine for the holidays and is the best host. He is fast at responding to messages and this is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at his home. 5 stars all the around and would definitely stay here on my next trip.

Charming Grad Hospital Townhouse - dog friendly
Samantha’s place is beautiful and very conveniently located! It was the perfect place for our family to stay while we visited Philadelphia. The place was clean and comfortable. It’s nice that each bedroom has a bathroom. The rooftop deck has a great view. Samantha was super responsive and was very kind to let us keep our luggage at her place until we had to leave for the airport. The neighborhood is adorable and walkable distance to a lot of cute cafe and restaurants. I’d stay here again!

Homey Park Front Hideaway with Free Street Parking
The house was awesome, and the description was spot on. Kevin was a great host and we’ll definitely be back.

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
Great place, perfect for our group for a 5 night stay - easy walk to the convention center. Neighborhood is a little noisy but inside the house the accommodations met expectations and the hosts were very communicative, responsive, and kind!

The Historic Walkable Washington Square West Home
We stayed for a week with our 2 year old daughter. She loved the house so much, she keeps asking to go back! It was an old place, but full of charm and comfort. Highly recommend.

Fresh One Bedroom Apartment in University City
The place is tiny, but clean and perfect for an overnight. I was attending a conference at UPenn and it was easily walkable to campus and near lots of transportation and food options.

FREE Parking! 12 min. from Stadiums - Sleeps 8!
Super easy to find and walk to south Philly/queen village places. Great parking. Plenty of space for two moms and two 12 yo boys. They even enjoyed throwing a football in the courtyard/parking area. The hosts were super communicative as well!

Golden Gem Luxury home near the Zoo
Beautiful inside, enjoyed our stay.

360 Degree Views nestled in South Philly
We really enjoyed our stay at Gabrielle’s place. It truly felt like home and went above and beyond what is normally included in an Airbnb. The extra touches of decor and some toiletries and snacks in the kitchen was very appreciated. Gabrielle was a very responsive host and nothing was too difficult. If we ever find ourselves in Philly again we wouldn’t hesitate to stay.

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.

Entire townhouse in Rittenhouse * ROOF DECK *
We had a great time in Michael's house. It was easy to get in, the kitchen was well appointed - we were easily able to do many meals there. The living room was comfortable, as was the main bedroom. Shower and bathrooms fine as well. Location great - right in Center City and near lots of transit. Would definitely stay again.

Stunning Townhome w/ City Skyline View & Rooftop!
Wonderful Weekend Getaway, Would Highly Recommend

Washington Sq West Full Townhouse.
Cute and convenient spot. The shower was a little tricky, but Sebastian’s instruction for that and other things were very clear. Not an especially spacious unit, but we didn’t spend much time there and were more interested in the convenient location. Would book again

Townhouse in Old Fishtown
Amanda’s location was very accurate and walkable to many stores restaurants and a planet fitness. Street parking is free on many streets in the area and wasn’t too difficult to find earlier in the days and early evenings during our stay. Stairs are steep. The main shower was incredible with three different shower heads! The place made our brothers engagement party weekend go without a hitch and Amanda was very responsive and friendly!

Design Row House in Fishtown w/ Two King Beds!
Super cool house in a great neighborhood. It was like spending a weekend in a design magazine! Marina had great recommendations for restaurants and coffee shops.
