When hunger strikes, Old City has you covered with its eclectic culinary scene. From cozy gastropubs to upscale dining establishments, you'll find a wide range of options to satisfy your palate. Indulge in mouthwatering Philadelphia cheesesteaks, explore diverse international cuisines, or savor farm-to-table creations made with locally sourced ingredients. Don't forget to stop by the famous Reading Terminal Market, where you can sample an array of delicious foods from local vendors.

Beyond history and art, Old City offers plenty of opportunities for leisure and entertainment. Experience the vibrant nightlife scene, with its lively bars, jazz clubs, and live music venues. Take a leisurely stroll along the Delaware River waterfront, where you can enjoy stunning views, take a riverboat cruise, or simply relax in one of the waterfront parks.

This location is fantastic!! Short walking distance to EVERYTHING historic about Philadelphia. Be ready for a leg workout with all the stairs. 😀 We had missing lights when we arrived, but management responded immediately and fixed it that same day. Would recommend this location 100%

Great stay in Philly
This home was exactly as described in the listing. Communication was excellent - Owner reached out to me upon arrival and kept in touch during the stay. The only drawback I could think of is if you are not good with stairs - there are 5 levels, counting rooftop area. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the neighborhood...you won't be disappointed here. If I ever need to return to Philly, I will look for this property again!
