Cesar was an exceptional host. The rooms were incredible and beautifully furnished as is the entire house. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and so much more than we were expecting. Having parking in the middle of the city on the property was helpful. The trolley stops right across the street so you can get anywhere without having to drive and deal with traffic. We could not have been more pleased with our stay. We had a great experience. Cesar was an informative and accommodating host. We hope to stay here again when we visit Philadelphia again.

The Gables was a lovely place to stay! The neighborhood is charming and well located within Philly, and the b&b itself is in a charming historic house. The communal breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious, and the room had everything we needed.

Staff was amazing! They go above and beyond to keep the authenticity of the Victorian Mansion turned Bed & Breakfast. The rooms are kept with their Victorian feel, the bed was comfortable, water pressure great, individual ac units in each room. This is not a typical hotel. If you know that going in, everything about it is wonderful!
