The house was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Will stay again when spending the night in Philly. Host was responsive and friendly!

Not the most comfortable living space but beds and location were perfect for exploring Philly all day and needing a comfy and convenient space to lay our heads. We had a great weekend!

Home was clean and well suited. Kitchen was well stocked, bed were comfortable and plenty of towel and wash clothes. The only downside was finding parking (parking lot down the street, 20 a day) and you have to walk through the master to the only bathroom. Would definitely stay again

This is our second time staying at the Cuthbert House. The home is so charming and the location is within walking distance of most of the big historic sites. Sophie is very accommodating and was willing to work with us on a late check out due to our flight leaving later in the day. I truly can’t imagine staying anywhere else when our family adventures in Philadelphia!

Worked out perfectly, loved the historic vibe over all. Just a small amount of up keep needed. Paint on tub is pealing, etc. Over all we loved our stay! Helped the metro is so close and my son lives two blocks away.

Getting to stay in this historic home was such a perfect way to see the Old City sights in Philadelphia. It is on a small cobblestone street just like Elfreth's Alley, but without the crowds. It worked well for our family of five, but be prepared for an aging property, the bathroom through one of the bedrooms, and steep slippery stairs. The beds were comfortable though and the kitchen was well equipped.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For a family and friends, who wanted to see the historic aspects of downtown Philadelphia this was a great addition. We had a historic place to stay in, as well as to see everything else around old city. I would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was old and unique, which we loved. It was perfect for our family of four, with plenty of room for everyone. Located in a very walkable neighborhood, the property is very close to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross’s house, and other historic sites. The host was very communicative and wonderful to deal with.

Everything about this house was amazing! The location, charm, history, convenience made our short visit a memorable one. The house was spotless and the host, Sophie, was wonderful to deal with. The only negative was that we weren't able to stay longer. 100% recommend.

We had a lovely comfortable time in this little row home on the cutest quiet street. Everything was perfect, though the staircase is not for the faint of heart or socks! Would definitely stay again. Just a short walk from the bell and independence hall, lots of restaurants close by too. Thank you!

Such a convenient location for exploring all of Philadelphia’s attractions! 70+ grandparents traveled with 12 & 14-yr-old grandchildren for 5 days. We had separate bedroom spaces for everyone , and the living spaces downstairs worked well during our down times. The kitchen was well-equipped for the meals we ate at the house. The neighborhood felt safe & we walked and rode the Philly Phlash bus everywhere. Thank you Sophie for a nice “home away from home” during our Philadelphia stay.

The location had everything we needed and enough space for our family of six! Sleeping accommodations and home were comfortable, it was conveniently located near everything, and hosts were very communicative and considerate (considering it was cold and snowy they came a few minutes before we arrived to make sure heat was turned up!). Also, convenient parking lots next door and across the street. Thanks for a nice stay!
