Our room was very clean & bed was extremely comfortable. Cesar & Jeannette were great hosts and accommodating. Communication was very good and all our questions about Philly were answered via texts or in-person chatting. Hope to return for a longer stay!

The host Jeanette was lovely, attentive but never intrusive. Breakfasts were delicious and nicely presented at the 12 seat table — every day we had a different entree and a good selection of fruit plus homemade sweet bread! The room was great. The bed was very comfy. had an en suite bathroom, which was important to me. The house itself is amazing! Lots of beautifully furnished rooms downstairs that guests are allowed to use and even a little pantry with bottles of water and a keurig coffeemaker with a selection of coffees available 24/7. Maybe one of the nicest things was on site parking, although there seemed to be on street parking as well. I’d love to come back in the Summer and sit on the wraparound porch with my coffee.

I really loved the historical feeling of this beautiful property, and even though I was staying for work, it was a great place to spend a few evenings! Loved it!
