It could use a little more comfortable places to sit. After walking around town all day it doesn't provide any comfortable seating to just lounge. There is also just the one bathroom which is up very steep stairs in the main bedroom. It was a convenient place to stay to get around town. It was very clean and the host was very nice.

Thank you David for choosing for choosing our house, we are glad you find our house clean and well located. We will make sure our guests read our description about the 300 year old stairs and the house only having one bathroom because it is historically certified and on the smaller side.

This is a fantastic property. It is perfectly located within walking distance of all the historical points of interest in Philadelphia. Its character and charming traits will never be forgotten. You get the feeling that former residents were probably on a first-name basis with Betsy Ross herself. We would definitely stay there again.

The history and location can't be beat. Great kitchen. It could have been a little cleaner and the steep stairs were tough. It was a great place to stay and would again.

The house was so cool, it was so old and had so many neat quirks about it that our whole family loved! It was so close to everything in the Old District, we walked pretty much everywhere! Sophie was great to get in touch with and was so quick to answer any questions I had! I would recommend this property and host 10/10!!

Larger living room furniture for lounging. The antiques create a welcoming atmosphere but are not comfortable for sitting around to have conversations.
Front room cozy and historical

Hi Dana, we are glad you had a good stay. Unfortunately the house was built 300 years ago and the living room was on the small side and there isn’t anything we can do to expand the space.
