Great house, incredibly walkable and billable street, ample space, cool roof deck. Good AC for hire Philly summer. A few of the doors could use some WD-40 but given that was our only complaint I would highly recommend this house.

This was a wonderful home for our family vacation. The location was great for the things we wanted to see, for grocery shopping and for a morning coffee. The kids had their own space for play and games and the adults had a quiet space for conversation. The gathering spaces were perfect for our together time. The kitchen was supplied with all we needed. The hosts were available and accommodating.It could not have been more perfect.

A spectacular, historic property, perfect for our reunion of long-time college friends. Five separate multi room suites, each beautifully appointed. The crowning glory was the rooftop deck where we enjoyed sunset dinners. (As the townhouse has 4 floors, it may not be appropriate for those with mobility issues.) The location is perfect, just off Rittenhouse Square on a lovely street of historic townhouses. We were able to walk to everything - museums, parks, historic sites, river walk. A magical setting for a memorable gathering.

Listing the parking situation earlier would help. Figured there’d be a space with a parking pass or something for the house. Top floor was super hot. Like 10 degrees different. We didn’t need that space luckily.

Amazing property in perfect location. Comfortable, functional, and incredibly spacious. You won’t be disappointed. Great host, very responsive and helpful. Parking on corner of 17th and Pine is easy. When you’re hungry go to Reading Market. Take a right out the front door, walk two blocks, stop at Mighty Bread for a coffee and snack.

This house is truly amazing, it’s large and spacious enough for everyone to spread out and have many different options for spaces to hang out in. Everything was clean and welcoming and we couldn’t have had a better experience. The kitchen was stocked with everyone we needed and the roof deck hosts the best view of the city I’ve ever seen. Robertson was very easy to communicate with and responsive. I wish we could live here!

The house was perfect for our family of 17-19 during our one week stay!! The kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to make all dinners at the house. Grocery stores were 4-7 blocks away and had what we needed. We were able to walk to most activities - the Independence Hall area, Museums on Ben Franklin Parkway and so much more. Bathrooms and kitchens have all been updated. The pool table in the main living room was a great bonus and provided lots of fun for all the adults and kids. It’s hard to say what part of the house was best but the last few nights we made amazing g memories enjoying the rooftop deck and watching the sun set and the moon rise. Truly it was magical!

Wow :). I could not have been happier with my weekend stay and my guests would say the same! The house is huge so there is more than enough room for everyone to spread out. We utilized all of the different seating areas and everyone was so comfortable. The house was fully equipped with anything you would need to entertain a large group and everyone said that the beds/bedding were cozy. We were lucky enough to have great weather so the rooftop was a lovely space to enjoy breakfast and coffee! I definitely want to call out the owners and property manager who had unbelievable communication leading up to and during the stay - truly such a pleasure to work with! A really great walkable neighborhood allowed everyone to explore the city and there’s so many different restaurant options. Only thing I would change is next time will stay a bit longer!

70th birthday celebration

Thank you for making this house available-it was perfect for our group- would definitely recommend it for large family groups. Kids loved their own hangout areas and the rooftop was great when weather cooperated.This location allowed us to walk downtown, to theater, coffee shops, museums and using public transportation was easy and close. Philadelphia was very welcoming and memorable place to visit for whole family!
