This Victorian home is a feast for the eyes. The environment is peaceful, and the bed was very comfortable with the smoothest of sheets. We will return.

The area leading to the property left us a little uncomfortable, but as we’ve gotten near the property, the neighborhood was quiet and well kept. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the morning complementary breakfast extremely tasty.. The property itself is very cool due to all the antiques to go with the Victorian home..

Great B&B

Great stay. Owners were super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing. Hosts offered to make French toast for my nephew after he finished his meal. I joined in on that and it was amazing. On trolley line. Stop is basically in front of B&B. Quiet neighborhood. Definitely stay there next time in Philly.

First time staying here and the host were very responsive and even gave us many options on what to do in the area. It’s 10/10 the city is 14 mins away by taking the trolley, there’s many parks near by. Check in was at 1 pm and our host texted us and let us check in early we dropped off our bags parked our car on the property and got our adventure started.
