Nestled on one of the most picturesque and quietest car-free streets in Philadelphia: This property is a few blocks from Independence Mall, The Liberty Bell, The PA Convention Center and it’s near the heart of all the historic sites Philly has to offer! Entire two bedroom and two full bath home, a rarity for this neighborhood. One king bed, one queen bed, and one pull-out sofa. Private, covered back patio with ceiling fan, wood fireplace in living room, dishwasher, washer/dryer, high-speed internet, coffee maker, all essential: fresh towels, linens, extra blankets, soap, hair dryer, etc. and tons of CHARM included! While still firmly rooted in history dating back to the 1800s, this house has also been thoroughly updated. What is so special about this home is the original detailing: wood-beamed ceilings, original plank floors, fireplace (fireplace in living room can be used & other three fireplaces are only decorative), paneled doors, & vintage built-ins. Eat in kitchen, large back patio, two spacious bedrooms, & two bathrooms with natural light. \*\*\*Please be aware that this property has somewhat steep stairs -- typically ok for most but may not be suitable for very young children or the elderly.\*\*\* The entire home is yours to enjoy! The key will be left in a lockbox, so you'll be able to check in & out at your convenience. I will be available throughout your stay if you need anything & I'm always happy to help you customize your Philadelphia experience. If you need any advice on restaurants & things to do then please ask! My home is in the middle of the Washington Square West neighborhood & was built in 1824. It is one of the oldest & most historic areas in Philadelphia. The neighborhood is residential with historic townhouses, but also walking distance to everything in Philadelphia including many restaurants, bars, & attractions. The Pennsylvania Convention Center, Rittenhouse Square, Old City, Society Hill, South Street, Bella Vista, & Graduate Hospital are all within a five to ten minute walk. The street is one of the most charming in Philadelphia & is quiet despite being in the middle of the city. You'll find everything you might need within walking distance including a corner store, coffee shops, Sweet Box Bakery, Whole Foods, a wine/liquor store, Walgreens, & many top rated bars & restaurants! Public transportation (bus & subway) is easily accessible. There is a bus stop just east of 13th & Lombard & the subway stop (Broad Street Line) is located at Broad & Walnut. The house is within walking distance to two major train stations (Suburban Station & Jefferson Station). 30th Street Station is a ten minute Uber/cab ride & airport is twenty minute Uber/cab ride. There is also an Indego bike share station just a couple blocks from the house on 13th between Locust and Walnut. Because my home is located on a car-free street in the heart of the city, nearby street parking can be limited. However, there are a few parking garages & public parking lots close by that charge about $40/day to park. Most street parking near the house is fine for 2 hours, but you can go a few blocks south of South Street to park for extended periods of time & I'm always happy to offer tips & help assist. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,050 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111110000/111105500/111105458/c25ef1b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW LISTING!

Even better, it is on a very quiet side street, so we heard very little city noise. It is well-maintained and well-stocked with food, kitchen and toiletry items that visitors might need. As other reviews have noted, though, the stairs are steep, narrow, and winding, and must be navigated to reach the kitchen and the bedrooms, so this property wouldn't be appropriate for anyone with mobility challenges. ##### Katie O.

A charming early 19th century house over four levels - warning, there is a steep spiral staircase so this is not a place for the unfit or elderly. It was very quiet, comfortable and warm - important as we were there in an unusually cold spring. The owner Brook lives nearby and this is always a plus, not that we needed anything addressed during our stay. She is very generous with all her supplies in the kitchen and two bathrooms. ##### peter w. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel R.

Bud & Marilyn’s, El Vez and Prunella were amazing. The neighborhood is full of pride in itself and its history. We had no idea that we were in the Gayborhood or really what that meant; but we loved it, learned its story and felt safe. The beware are the stairs, because those were a workout. Bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen are only available via stairs but once you accept the challenge and use the handrails you are good to go. ##### MK S.

Loved the pedestrian street and the house itself had a lot of character. Very walkable neighbor. We parked in the acme parking garage (near Whole Foods). ##### Kate Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Hotel-Monaco-Pittsburgh.h8645076.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h12435017.Hotel-Information) > > [Live Casino & Hotel - Philadelphia](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Live-Casino-Hotel-Philadelphia.h59917783.Hotel-Information) > > [The Industrialist Hotel, Pittsburgh, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-The-Industrialist-Hotel.h48541998.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotel Philadelphia Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Philadelphia-Airport.h23444.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Philadelphia Arpt-Stadium Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Philadelphia-Arpt-Stadium-Area.h24455.Hotel-Information) > > [EVEN Hotel Pittsburgh Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-EVEN-Hotel-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h23356627.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Sheraton-Philadelphia-University-City-Hotel.h4885.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Dominican-Republic-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d50-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h9378026.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Pittsburgh-Northshore](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites-Pittsburgh-Northshore.h33299481.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Renaissance-Pittsburgh-Hotel.h581071.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Pittsburgh-Hotel-At-Station-Square.h20319.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Suites-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h6149.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh - Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h3907735.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni William Penn Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Omni-William-Penn-Hotel.h2998.Hotel-Information) > > [Drury Plaza Hotel Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Drury-Plaza-Hotel-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h15178439.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pittsburgh North Shore by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Pittsburgh-North-Shore.h10914769.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton](https://www.expedia.ca/Scranton-Hotels-Radisson-Lackawanna-Station-Hotel-Scranton.h28198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Pittsburgh-North Shore](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Pittsburgh-North-Shore.h3608245.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Pittsburgh-Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h1668434.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h35030673.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites By Hilton Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h12609094.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h25509.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Pittsburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Fairmont-Pittsburgh.h3056317.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yvr/delhi-to-vancouver) ### Cruise > [MSC Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/MSC-Cruises.cMS.Cruise-Line-Info)
