We loved the house and everything around it! The street we stayed on was actually part of the sightseeing tour! A whole lot of history around the area. I would recommend to anyone that loves history to stay in this house and also the owner was very nice and knowledgeable about the area.
The property is located within a 10 minute walking distance of independence park historical locations with the opportunity to be within the local atmosphere. It is also a 25 minute walk from the convention center. Food options are nearby along with the host being gracious to us for use of kitchen. Parking is located within a gated lot with solid security surrounding it. It was a wonderful location and would stay here again if given the opportunity. Highly recommend.
Perfect alternative to a hotel room for a single or couple visiting Philadelphia. Location in Society Hill neighborhood is extraordinary - close to all the historic spots. Isolde is a lovely host, gives you space or open to a conversation - your choice. My husband and I won't hesitate to book this cozy space again.
This was the best place I’ve ever stayed. It was like staying with family. The owner went all out to make us feel at home. It was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Great location. Secure parking for our car.. A+++++
Isolde was absolutely wonderful and you're missing out if you don't stay here. There's a cute little balcony with some privacy and the location is so close to many historic sites. I would absolutely stay again.
My husband and I totally enjoyed our stay at Isolde’s home. Her home is so charming and beautiful! We had the 3rd floor to ourselves. The balcony was a plus to have. We were able to leave the car parked and walk to the Historic downtown. We wish we had more time. We will definitely stay here again. Isolde is such a sweet and welcoming lady.
The host and property were great! She's very accommodating, and the space was clean. written clarity on the check out procedures would be an improvement.
Isolde is a gem! Her home is perfect, the location was perfect for us & everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. We felt right at home and super comfortable. The only bad thing was having to leave!
Best stay I have ever had. Isolde is an absolute sweetheart who provides an oasis of peace in Philadelphia. Her home is immaculate and guests have the third floor to themselves. I hope to stay again!
Perfect location for exploring Philadelphia’s Historic District, Society Hill and South Street. Gated parking was convenient and allowed us to take day trips to surrounding areas. Isolde was a gracious host. Loved chatting with her over coffee and breakfast!
The host has a beautiful home and the accommodations are private on the third floor. They are comfortable and very nice. I did not have much opportunity to use the rooftop deck but what a nice option in the city. The location is prime, so close to so many things!
My 16 year old son and I were in town for an event at Lincoln Financial Field. This was the perfect place to stay! It was in walking distance to historic sites and a quick Uber trip to our event. Our host, Isolde, was absolutely wonderful!
We had a great time exploring Philadelphia from this apartment. The apartment (you really do have to walk up 3 flights of stairs!) was centrally located to see all the history (or all we could see in 3 days). This neighborhood is an excellent location... and very cute with all the row homes and old churches around. Isolde was super friendly and we liked getting to give Jethro (dog) a pat as we came and went. We had dinner out on the patio our last night.... very lovely, and enjoyed relaxing and reading there in the afternoons.

I grew up in Germany and came to the United States when I was 24. I have raised my family in this house and have many fond memories. I am an artistic and creative person and I absolutely love to cook ~ it is a passion of mine!
Why they chose this property
The house is located in much sought after Society Hill. I provide a guaranteed, secure parking spot as well as a freshly cooked breakfast every morning.
What makes this property unique
The house is uniquely decorated. My grandfather was a sculptor and many of his pieces are located throughout my home. The home is very cozy and has a European flair to it.
