House holiday rentals in Center 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.

We had a family gathering and this house was the perfect place for 8 people. Two more could have joined into this space. There are several shared spaces -two living rooms and a studio space-. The large dining room table could fit 11 people. With the proximity to green areas, we got to see rabbits and a wolf, but were mostly visited by birdsong. The pool area is in a separate building that has a game room, the outdoor pool, and outdoor chairs and tables under a roof (providing protection from sun and rain). The house is a 4 minute drive to a large grocery store. We greatly enjoyed staying in this well kept 1800s house. It feels very welcoming, bringing us to the heritage of this city.

A truly exceptional stay! The Elegant Chateau in Philadelphia was absolutely stunning—spacious, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need (even things you wouldn’t think of!). It’s the perfect space for entertaining while still allowing for privacy and comfort. One of the highlights for me was knowing it’s Black-owned, which made supporting this stay even more meaningful. I was proud to host family here. Whether you’re visiting during warm or cold months, the property is ready—swimming and grilling in the summer, cozy and well-equipped in cooler weather. The host was incredibly responsive and made everything seamless from start to finish. Only word of advice: keep your trash secured—there are some bold raccoons who like to make evening appearances, but they didn’t take away from an otherwise perfect experience. I’ve already recommended this gem to others and will definitely be returning myself. Highly recommend!

Very nice place. Hot tub and pool most excellent. Would stay there again.

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.

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!

We had a great stay at Michelle’s place for our high school friend get together. We wanted a place near Longwood Gardens and a place to relax. We got them both! The surroundings were beautiful and the home was open and lovely! We hope to be back!

The area was great! Our host was friendly and communicative. The home was clean and exactly as described. Check-in was simple. We would highly recommend this property!

Christine’s place was fantastic!! It was exactly like the photos and description but better. The space is calm and homey, clean and relaxing. Great for family of adults to have our own space, and be together. Roof deck is super special, an oasis in the middle of the city. Christine has thought of everything!! This place is well equipped as any Airbnb I’ve been to, and there’s been scores of them around the world. You’ll get your steps in; no stair master required if you are staying here.

Incredible spot in Philadelphia's Italian Market. Place was perfect for me and two of my buddies to take in a weekend in Philly. Close to incredible food spots and easy to navigate and walk to historical sites in Philly and several bars, restaurants, and shops. Keith recommended we go to the Italian Market Festival that was happening that weekend and several other spots to check out, and his recommendations did not disappoint!

Jason is an excellent host and perfectly communicative. He provided great recommendations for local spots and was very helpful when a member of our party, who doesn't typically use Airbnb, arrived early. The home is ideal for a large group, featuring comfortable beds and minimal wait times for showers. Some construction across the street woke us up early, but that's beyond anyone's control. Additionally, it's worth noting that the cleaners do not leave many supplies readily accessible, so it's a good idea to bring extra detergent, soaps, and wipes if you prefer to keep things tidy during your stay.

OMG! This house was amazing! The location, we have a big family. It was 10 of us comfortable in this house and the deck upstairs was great at night theirs a skyline view as well. 10/10 well be back for sure

Luke was an amazing host with great communication. His place is awesome and make you feel home. I highly recommend his place, the location is a short comute to center city and Philadelphia surrounding. All the amenities are as described and accurate. The parking was the cherry on the cake because parking in Philadelphia is hard to find and so expensive. I had an amazing stay.

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.

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.

Allison & Timothy are exceptional hosts. They gave precise instructions which are easy to follow. Their place is super clean and very nice. They responded to our messages usually within minutes if not immediately. The neighborhood is also very nice with friendly neighbors too. Highly recommended!

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.

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 really loved this air b and b… Communication was excellent with the owners and information was clear. Check in was easy. The space itself is really great. There is a massive window as seen in the pictures that is remarkable and lets in amazing light. We had plenty of room and the rooms were well appointed. We enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony on the 3rd floor. The master bedroom and bath were clean and spacious. The location was good for us as we were in town for a graduation. We would come back and stay here in a heart beat!

The stay was great! The house was well maintained, very clean and very comfortable. Kamila was super quick with responding to my questions and very kind. I would absolutely use this again if we come back.

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.

The sonata was a great place with lots of character. It is a great place to just settle in on the rooftop deck with a fire and enjoy your family. There are also plenty of restaurants and night life spots in walking distance.

Pat and Lulu’s place looks exactly like the photos, it has essentially everything you would ever need from an Airbnb. The location itself isn’t pretty but no complaints on the Airbnb at all! The beds are also super comfy.
