This area of the home is bathed in natural light and an ideal place to unwind after your day of perusing the bevy of local shops and restaurants afforded by this borough locale. The traditional floor plan transitions into the formal dining room with seating for 6, and onto the spacious kitchen. With all of the conveniences of home, in addition to holding ample prep and storage space, this area gives you the comfortability of creating your own culinary delights throughout your stay.

Perfect location
Great location for visiting our West Chester family. The home was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. We parked our car in the garage and walked through the town every day. The host was very responsive and answered any questions we had before and during our visit. We look forward to returning.

Great location, clean as a whistle!
We stayed at the townhouse for 5 nights with another couple who had not been to Phila. The location for going into Center City, visiting Longwood Gardens, Valley Forge and Marsh Creek State Park was ideal. The house was spotless and well-appointed. Derek, our host, was super responsive. We will definitely stay again when we are in town visiting family and friends.
