Beautiful - clean - 5+ stars

This home was fantastic! I will definitely stay here again when visiting. The home was so clean, and the beds were comfortable. The host even told us we could use the items in the refrigerator which was so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this home! The host was quick to respond about our questions and gave great instructions about how to get into the property and how to leave the property- very organized which i can appreciate. I could go on and on but stay here and you will have an amazing stay. Thank you for sharing your home!

A well maintained and beautifully decorated townhouse in Manayunk. The home has a great vibe and we loved staying here. Cute backyard too! We would love to stay here again. Bathrooms were clean and very modern. Beds were comfortable. We traveled with a 4mo infant and 20mo toddler using a baby rental company for cribs, sheets, etc… Just for information, the home has 2 steep staircases which our toddler loved; but we had to be on our A game with her. Definitely not a home to leave a toddler unattended.We walked a lot in the area down to Main Street and also a little up hill to a playground and a nearby breakfast restaurant. The area feels very safe and vibrant. We drove a full size SUV and parking was street parking. The roads are narrow but it wasn’t a problem to find parking. We also Ubered a few times and there were always drivers nearby.The owner John was awesome with great communication. Thank you for the use of this very nice home!

We were in town for water polo games at La Salle and Nova and this home was perfectly situated between the two. The beds were comfortable, temperature of the home was comfortable, John was easy to connect with and we could walk to anywhere in Manayunk safely. The basketball court up the road was an added surprise for our highschool boys.
