The property was impressive, very clean, nice appliances, and exactly what the pictures represented. The cabinets were very well organized, making it very easy to find what you were looking for. This property had everything you needed for a restful stay. Mandy is a great host, and made sure everything was in good working order. The location is ideal just a short walk to all the major attractions. My family and I would stay here if we were in the area again.

Great location on South street. Apartment was very clean. Only issue was the stairs, but that seems to be all locations in Philly. Close to Independence Hall and Liberty Bell and Reading Terminal bring your appetite. Mandy was very easy to deal with. Would stay again if heading to Philly.

Clean, charming, great patio. We were a little worried when we didn't hear from the host about the check in but she responded quickly when we reached out to her. The neighborhood made us a little nervous after dark but everyone we met was extremely nice.

Apartment was perfect! Well laid out, spacious, spotless and pretty. Host was welcoming and thought of anything we might need for our stay. Location is bustling but the apartment itself felt quiet and removed from the street-level activity (and the host was thoughtful enough to have earplugs just in case, even though they weren't needed!)

Property is well keep and clean. Stairs were a little steep but were manageable. Outdoor patio was comfortable but would recommend an umbrella for the table to provide shade during midday.

Really spacious and lovely apartment. The kitchen was especially nice. The location is great as everything we wanted to see in the city was a nice walk away. Be aware that it does get loud at night, especially in the front bedroom, but we couldn't hear anything from the back bedroom. The host provided ear plugs which was very thoughtful.

South Philly stay on South Street was amazing!

The house said it was a 2 bedroom 1 bath but it was the 2 bedroom 2 bath, the apartment was immaculate, brand new everything and every time I reached out to the host he responded promptly. All the extras were unexpected but so gracious and the deck is private and so calming after walking all dY

Very clean and updated. Conveniently located and within walking distance of multiple bars, restaurants, and the TLA. We had no concerns that required us to contact the host, but communication regarding check in and check out was very clear. May not be the best location for light sleepers, as South Street has a robust nightlife scene and there is a large, active construction site behind the rental. The host was kind enough to provide ear plugs, though.

About the host

Host profile image
Originally from New York City, my husband and I have lived in Philadelphia for more than 10 years. We enjoy cooking, trying new restaurants in the city, spending time with our four children, and traveling. I would be more than happy to share any tips during your stay because I want everyone to love and enjoy Philly as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love how vibrant, lively, and artistic South Street is. The neighborhood offers an incredible variety of diverse cuisines, unique shops, and beautiful murals that bring the streets to life. Plus, the convenient location makes it easy to explore other parts of Philly, whether by food or public transit. We especially love how quickly we can get to Chinatown from our home!

What makes this property unique

Our unit is located right on South Street, putting you in the heart of all the excitement! From here, you a short stroll, less than five minutes, to bookstores, cozy coffee shops, famous restaurants, record stores, and so much more. Plus, having worked in the hospitality industry, I care deeply about making sure my place is clean, cozy, and inviting for every guest.
