The house is lovely. Brian was an excellent and attentive host. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was recently remodeled. There were snacks and wine, tea, and water available in the evening. Because the room I was in did not have an en suite bathroom (although the bathroom was private), bathrobes were provided. I understand that most rooms in the house have en suite bathrooms. Limited parallel parking was available on the street at night; daytime parking was limited to 2 hours from 9 am to 5 pm.

Comfortable room, great food and service
Eric greeted us warmly and showed us around. When I booked, I mentioned that we had an earlier meeting than the breakfast hours so would miss the meal. Eric took note and had very thoughtfully packed us FULL breakfasts to take along with us in the morning! That was above and beyond what was expected. We stepped out for dinner to a restaurant which he had recommended. When we got back there was homemade biscotti - some of the best I've ever had. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the area was quiet. Overall, we had an exceptional stay, and if I ever need a room in the area again, I would book at Cornerstone B&B

Our new one and only in Philly! <3
WOW! We stay exclusively at BnBs and have been to several across the US and in the UK and Europe. This is one of the BEST! The hosts are absolutely adorable and pay attention to the little details. They are warm and gregarious, but VERY thoughtful. They even made us a special vegan breakfast and brought it up to our room for us! The house is beautiful and appointed with all the charm you can imagine and still has those 21st Century comforts we've all come to rely on. I can't say enough wonderful things about the Cornerstone Bed and Breakfast. Simply outstanding!

The innkeepers were young, friendly, but never intrusive. Our room was nice and well equipped to settle in and sleep at the end of the day. The breakfasts were served on the porch or in your room because of covid-19. We ate breakfast on the porch every day and it was the highlight of my day in an otherwise hectic week of moving my daughter from one apartment to another!! Another adaptation they’ve made for their guests during the pandemic (Indoor dining isn’t happening at Philly restaurants) is they will set a table with real plates, silver and candles so your takeout feels fancy. There was just a great vibe going on here and we will definitely come back!
