Beautiful House On Garden Block. First Floor Bedroom!

My house is located on a beautiful garden block, surrounded by restaurants and cafes, walking distance to most attractions in the city, so you can explore on the foot. The neighborhood is Southwest Center City, also known as Graduate Hospital. You will be walking distance to Rittenhouse square (15 min.) , many main attractions, great shopping, beautiful park squares, farmers markets, cafes and restaurants.

Great places for coffee are Ultimo Coffee and LaVa Café. Wonderful breakfast spots are Honey's Sit 'N Eat and Ants Pants Café. There are many great restaurants within walking distance, too many to mention. It all depends upon what you're craving.

Philadelphia Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk is a short walk from the house. Its great for walking and biking. It's also stunning at night with the view of the Center City.

The house comfortably sleeps 8 people, 4 bedrooms, 4 beds.
The house is cozy and bright. There are 3 irons and 3 ironing boards.

There is one full bathroom in the hallway on the second floor at the top of the stairs and another full bathroom in the bedroom on the first floor.

There are 3 beds with full size mattresses and one bed with queen mattress.

Two of the three bedrooms on the second floor are adjoining, meaning two rooms connected by a door, with only one entrance to the common area.
When you enter one of those two bedrooms from a hallway, you have to walk through the first bedroom to get to the second bedroom.
All towels are in bathrooms.
The house has a keyless entry, I will provide the code for it on the day of arrival.
Please do read through my house rules very carefully and contact me with any questions you might have.

My 3 sisters and I stayed at Irina’s property for our yearly get together. It was wonderful. Property was perfect for our needs, very clean, and Irina was extremely prompt with her answers to all of our questions. It had everything we needed and the location is perfect. Loved being so close to the little restaurant down the street. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Weekend with Friends!
Incredible weekend with Friends and this location was a perfect fit for 4 old college mates who were at our annual pilgrimage to the Penn Relays.Very well stocked wiith everything you'd need for your stay. Definitely walking distance to the many sites you need to see in Philly! Irina, our host, was absolutely sensational and her responses were timely and spot on to any request. We will return for sure!

Such a lovely place
The house and block were just lovley. I had to travel last minute because my mother passed. After being out all day to take care of her affairs and all the emotions that came with it, I needed someplace that felt homey to return to. And this house was that. It was well designed, comfortable and had nice amenities. It was 2 blocks to the local market, restaurants and pharmacy. There are play areas on both corners (we traveled with a 4,12 and 16 year old) And it is located on a beautiful garden block. The only draw backs were parking and there is a little bar and grill that is a little loud when it closes. But nothing terrible. Everyone slept through it, i just had insomnia. If you are a light sleeper, choose the smaller room with one window. We will be returning without the rental car and under less somber conditions.

The property was great and the location good except for the parking situation. No parking at the property. Cars parked bumper to bumper along all the streets in the area. We had to drive around and around to find a space. One night we received a ticket for accidentally parking in2 hour parking. Otherwise stay was great

Lovely Townhouse/Great Neighborhood
My husband and I loved our stay in this townhouse. We were very comfortable, and this lovely home was immaculate with attractive decor and gardens right outside the front door. The neighborhood was really nice, safe and busy yet quiet--lot's of families. We were within walking distance or a short Uber ride to restaurants, museums and site seeing. Irina is a wonderful hostess. She was easy to get in touch with and responded to all of our questions right away. Her descriptions of the townhouse and instructions about entering and locking up, taking out trash, parking, etc. were thorough and very helpful. Our trip was a big success, and we would love to stay in this townhouse again! Mary

Irina is a wonderful Host!
The Property was clean and beautifully appointed with everything you need. And so centrally located, you can walk to most places, e'g', The Mutter Museum, Trader Joes, and the Art Museum). At the time we booked, Philly had a chemical spill in the river. Even though the water was better, Irina thoughtfully left us some Bottled water. I fell in love with Philly, and we will rent here again!

Irina's place is beautiful and the perfect location for a stay In Philadelphia. It is situated in a lovely, family neighborhood with many walkable destinations. The living area is comfy and the eight of us were able to relax comfortably after a day of fun in Philly. We highly recommend Irina's place for a family trip!
