The guests are given access to the entire house

You will have the house to yourself and be able to check-in easily on your own. We are available should you need anything.

The house is a stone's throw from some of the best cafes and restaurants in Philadelphia, Fitzwater Cafe, Little Fish, Saloon, Nomad Pizza, Angelina's, Famous 4th St Deli, Whole Foods, the list goes on and on. A short walk to Fleisher Art, Paradigm Gallery & South St. clubs and shops, 7 minutes to the Italian Market, 12 to Geno and Pat’s Steaks, 20 to City Hall. My street is a small quiet street off of Fitzwater between 6th & 7th. It is barely wide enough for a car to drive down and is a dead end so you are in a quiet oasis in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Philadelphia. The address has a walk score of 99 (“walker’s paradise”).

An easy walk to movie theaters, clubs, restaurants, museums, and Philadelphia's historic sites. With luck and some patience, you can ditch your car for the weekend in the no-cost municipal parking lot around the corner at 7th and Fitzwater.

Please remember that there is no parking allowed under any circumstances on the street, which is a traditional Philadelphia narrow one-way, dead-end and only wide enough for people who have garages to drive down.

Also, this is a small family-oriented street, so no parties or loud music are allowed, even on the weekends.

There is a doorbell camera outside the home.

There is an additional bed in the basement storage area. Please note this is not part of the listing or set up for guests. We ask that you not use this bed.
