The history and location can't be beat. Great kitchen. It could have been a little cleaner and the steep stairs were tough. It was a great place to stay and would again.

The location is wonderful. Near the river, in Old City, close to a subway station and many restaurants and coffee shops. We did not use the house much for anything but sleeping since we had a lot of things going on with family in Philadelphia. Stairs to bedrooms are steep and curvy so take them slowly!

We loved the location of this home and was able to walk to all the bars and restaurants, plus down to the Delaware river. So much history in this area of the city to soak up! The home itself was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable!

Beautiful historic home.

We had a great stay in the home. It worked well for our family. Close to all the rich history that we wanted to see. We were able to walk to most of the site or take a 10min uber ride to the rest. We had a good day and the kids enjoyed the unique nature of the home.
