House vacation rentals in Old City, Philadelphia

Kathleen’s home was a beautiful place to stay. The accommodations were comfortable and modern, the home was very clean and clutter free. There was plenty to do in the area, the check in process was very simple and clear, as was the checkout process as well.

Sean was absolutely incredible! Due to an unexpected issue with our previous stay, we had to book last minute—and he welcomed us without hesitation. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The property itself is stunning—serene, safe, and beautifully maintained. Five stars all around!

We came to Cindy’s place for a High School graduation. It was an easy 18 minute commute to Lawrenceville. The house accommodated our party. There was lots of room for our 10 guest in the house, Great kitchen to cook in. The yard was big and spacious. Areas to throw a football, kids to play on the playground and area for adults to gather at the pool and cabana. Communication and check in was all easy.

This place was amazing to stay at! We loved the huge kitchen and there was plenty of space for our family of five. Our kids had a great time running around the big backyard and we went on several walks around the local neighbourhood, which was very picturesque and peaceful. What a lovely place to visit!

Pauline’s place was amazing , our family and friends stayed for a lacrosse tournament and we got to enjoy the pool / beautiful outdoor space & AC / game room inside on a hot weekend. Every time we had a question they were quick to respond. We hope to return soon, perfect for a weekend get away.

Caryle’s place was in a very peaceful neighborhood, very private and relaxing. The kitchen had what we needed and the living room was a great place to sit and read. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s house.

We Loved Danielle's house! She is very responsive when reaching out to any concerns we had. Our family came here for 2 graduations. Very close to schools and walkable to restaurants & parks. The photos on here matched the house. We did mainly come here for the Pool and we all enjoyed it. We also roasted marshmallows in the fire pit. We definitely made some good memories here and will come back again!

Honestly, the best hospitality of any place we’ve stayed. We felt right at home. The thoughtfulness that went into preparing the home for us, was unmatched. We highly recommend staying here. It was perfect. Thank you, Mrs. Betty!

I absolutely loved this property and I will definitely be booking again! the neighborhood is quiet and cute and the place was actually bigger than I expected! Even better than the pictures! 10/10 recommend.

Everything as expected. Young kept the place clean and neat. Everything is ready and works as soon as you move in. Responsive and friendly communication. Great location.

When booking via AirBnB, honestly I’m always underwhelmed when it comes to the property. It almost always never looks like the pics listed on the site. That said, Archway completely exceeded my expectations. The team was so responsive to every question I had, the place was absolutely beautiful and the access to the home was easy peasy! It will definitely be our go to place every time we visit Philly! Can’t wait until they expand to other cities.

Jen & Scott were amazing hosts. The property location was secluded yet incredibly close to a lot of South Philadelphia attractions. Being a Philly girl, I would highly recommend this location and Jen & Scott as hosts. 5 stars for sure.

We've stayed at the Queen's Star several times and it's perfect each time! Ian and Beth are wonderful hosts - always responsive and helpful. They were flexible with check-in and check-out times, which we really appreciated. The Queen's Star is immaculate every time we stay and always comfortable. We enjoyed sitting at the cute outdoor table and chairs in front of the house on sunny afternoons and met many friendly neighbors this way! The location is wonderful - quiet, yet near many cafes and restaurants. We can't wait for our next stay at this Queen Village gem.

We loved our stay! Great neighborhood location and we appreciated all the extra touches, like a piano, ear plugs, dry erase board, & pool table just to name a few. Also very clean and comfortable. We would stay here again & recommend to friends!

My family has come to love visiting Philly. Its really great to be able to stay in these new areas that we loved walking through on our previous visit to Philly. Duane's location allows for great walks with nothing to do and eye candy around every corner. If you're into historical sites and pretty architecture this location will be perfect for you. If you're into bars and nightlife a few blocks away is a great area. Plenty of restaurants to eat at and bars to drink at. Very happy with this location.

We had a wonderful week long stay at this property. Well-equipped and in a central location. Walkable to restaurants, attractions and landmarks. Great for groups and families. The hosts were responsive and communicative. Because the property is in a central location the car traffic can be heard at night, but aside from that it is a wonderful property and we would stay here again.

Johanna's rowhome was stunning and absolutely an accurate depiction of the photos. There was plenty of sunlight, gorgeous decor, and an excellent guide that offers great recommendations on exploring Fishtown and the broader city. Her food and drink recs were spot on, and she was very communicative before and after our stay. I would have no hesitation staying at Johanna's rowhome in the future.

The apartment was absolutely spotless and very comfortable! You can walk barefooted and have nothing sticking to the bottom of your feet. We were impressed by attention to detail. The host stocked the bathroom and kitchen with all the essentials. We felt safe and secure at all times. And, free parking. Will definitely stay here our next trip to Philadelphia.

This is a nice place and although I don’t have little kids, I wouldn’t recommend it for people with little ones. The stairs are very steep and the handrail for the first set of stairs isn’t quite long enough so you actually have to reach for the railing before you head down the stairs. The main bedroom appeared to have no air flowing through it so it was warm to sleep at night. While the bathrooms were nice, the en-suite bathroom wasn’t very functional in my opinion. It has dual sinks but you couldn’t really use the furthest sink as the toilet was right in front of it. It was also a bit of a hassle to get in and out of the tub as the toilet is between the sinks and tub. Again, very nice, but very tight. Overall, I’d give this place 4.5 out of 5 stars. The hosts were very communicative.

We loved our stay! After having lived in Philly for 7 years, it’s always fun to come back for a visit and we felt right at home at Marc and Rachel’s. The best location in the city, and super beautiful and clean home. Highly recommend staying there!

The home was perfect for our family and it was a great location! Lovely neighborhood and neighbors! We felt safe and it is a beautiful home with everything you need! Thank you Jay!

Beautifully curated space and good linens! I felt energized in the clean and artistic space. Not basic boring or overly cluttered w mismatched items. Despite the challenges of the layout w bathroom on second floor, it was a lovely place to stay and relax. Sandra was amazing with response time and ideas.

We had a great stay overall! The Airbnb is located in a wonderful, walkable neighborhood that’s absolutely beautiful. The house itself is small, charming and historic . Only book this if everybody is able bodied and steady on their feet: the stairs are very, very steep and twisty, and there are thin metal railings attached to parts of the wall that might be hard for some people to grip. Also, bring ear plugs: attic bedroom has no door, and one of the second-floor bedrooms just has a thin accordion door. Supplies provided: conditioner (no shampoos or body wash); salt and pepper; a bag of coffee grounds. Cleanliness: couch could use a professional cleaning, but we put a blanket over it. Bed linens and pillows felt a bit dusty/musty but overall fine.

First, this property is stunning. Fully built out with luxury finishes, hardware and furnishings. It was the perfect fit for our family of 6 with room to spare. The garage fit a Chrysler 300 rental mini van. HVAC kept us comfortable and cozy all day and thru the night. Our Airbnb host Robin was very communicative and timely with responses. Would hands down recommend a stay at this property. Conveniently located within minutes of so many cool restaurants and 10 minutes from UPenn. PS, the view from the rooftop deck was amazing. Thank you for providing an amazing home for our trip.
