About this property

Beautifully renovated, historic trinity home with amazing location! Located in the heart of Fitler square, our single family row home was built in 1825 and renovated in 2020. Trinity homes are a unique part of Philadelphia’s history and are traditionally one room per floor, connected by a narrow circular staircase. (See photos to be sure you feel comfortable navigating!) Walk to 30th St Station, Schuylkill Trail, CHOP, UPenn, Drexel, Rittenhouse, Fitler Square and more! New HEPA air filter!

Our private, modern colonial style home has a living room and kitchen on the first floor. The second floor has the bathroom and two private sleeping spaces: one bedroom with a queen bed, and a second bedroom (no closet) with two twin beds. The third floor stairs open into the final bedroom with an attached balcony and working grill. Window a/c units, robust wifi, and a kitchen with all the amenities you need. Trinities are called America's first tiny homes - while the home sleeps 6 comfortably, the living room space is not large - please view the photos!

A note: Our laundry team enters the home to pick up and drop off linens from the basement on Tuesday and Thursday mid-mornings. Guests are welcome to be home or away during their quick stop.

Fabulous host, delightful property, ideal neighborhood

An absolute gem, in the perfect neighborhood. A beautiful park just a few blocks away, easy walking distance to historic sites, upscale (and dive!) bars, restaurants and shopping + public transit. We loved our stay in an authentic Trinity house, full of history and character. As advertised, it's small, but we had no issues at all with the size, since we were mostly out and about enjoying Philly, and the kitchen had everything we needed in an efficient layout. The host went out of her way to be helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Perfect Fitler Sq Location

Our family (mom/dad plus 10 & 13 y/o) spent a great week at this “trinity” rowhouse in the Filter Sq area. Loved house and its perfect location for our family to explore Center City and Penn’s campus. The house was built in 1810 and while we loved period architecture, it might not be appropriate for older travelers (these homes have *very* steep stairs).

Cute Historic Home

Easy to find in a great location close to the Parkway, Penn and downtown, in a nice, diverse family neighborhood, this home is cozy and easily accommodated my three friends and me. Spiral staircase might be a challenge for some, but my 6'6" friend and I (6'7") managed fine. Hosts are very communicative and got right back to me if I had a question. A good place to sleep while exploring the city, the mattresses were excellent.

Charming & great location, but a few issues

I stayed here for three nights with my husband and two children (7 & 5) over spring break. We thought the house was great overall—it was cool to see a historical home from 1810, and while small, it was comfortable for our downtime when we weren’t exploring the city. We were aware of the stairs being narrow and steep, but like other reviewers I’d just give a heads up for anyone with small children or mobility issues. The owner was very thorough when communicating with us, and even let us check in early when we reached out because we had finished early at the zoo. There is a great guide on the kitchen wall, too. One thing I’d point out is that the neighbors are very strict about quiet time from 10pm to 8am. It was a little hard to keep the kids quiet in the morning but not a big issue for us. There were a couple of things that need some attention though. First, the floors had not been cleaned. I had put on clean white socks and they were filthy within a few hours. You could also see in the bathroom that they just looked dirty. Then there were ants in the kitchen and bathroom. Not a ton of them, but I’m sure the owners will want to spray. The last thing isn’t a huge issue, but on the board in the kitchen it mentioned having AC units during the spring and summer months. It is mid-April and it got up to 85 while we were there, so it would have been nice to have them put in. The last night was pretty warm up on the third floor. Overall we had a great time though!

Location was

We loved the location and enjoyed staying in a historic Trinity home. Jessica, the owner, was lovely to communicate with and responded quickly when we reached out to her. Upon arrival, it was clear that the home had not been cleaned well. I contacted Jessica, and she promptly communicated with her cleaning crew and refunded our cleaning fee, which I greatly appreciated. I suspect that future renters will not have to worry about this issue. All of us slept very well in the comfortable beds. Each of our two teenage boys had their own rooms, which was nice, and the balcony off the master bedroom was a treat with a view of the skyscrapers. We really enjoyed walking the neighborhood(s) in and around the home and delighted in grabbing bites at local joints that were just steps from our front door. We felt like true Philadelphians. If you are considering a trip to Philly, you would be hard pressed to find a better location and a more charming home.
