Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

Emily's place made for a wonderful stay in Philly. I'm surprised by the reviews that mention the run of the mill experiences one can expect to have in a city re parking and alleged drug use- Philly is indeed... a city? As far as my experience, parking was more than reasonable, with a free lot for extended use within walking distance from the apartment. Worried by the reviews, I texted Emily ahead of time for parking recommendations, and she was responsive and thorough. Needless to say, there was no need to worry. The nearby lot is the chillest Philly parking experience I've ever had. As far as the apartment itself, the kitchen & bathroom were particularly lovely, & the two bedrooms upstairs were spacious & warm! The street itself is charming, and the apartment has grocery, restaurant, and pharmacy options within walking distance. I experienced little to no noise disturbance, as the place seems well insulated. Inside there's a booklet with local recs. I would book with Emily again!

We had a great weeklong stay at this unique Airbnb in historic Manayunk. The location is excellent—close to shops, restaurants, and trails. The space is exactly as pictured: clean, well-kept, and in a very cool old mill building with lots of character. It was perfect for us and our two dogs. The dedicated parking spot is a nice bonus, though street parking was usually available nearby if needed. The neighborhood has some steep hills (classic Manayunk), so keep that in mind for dog walks—but overall, it was manageable and pleasant. Street noise wasn’t an issue for us, but there’s a noise machine provided just in case. We appreciated that thoughtful touch. We’re originally from the area and would definitely stay here again—comfortable, convenient, and true to its listing.

I loved everything about yings place, favorite part was the kitchen area !! 10000% recommenddddddddddd. She’s very nice and responsive. That was a plus ! Thanks Ying.

What a great place to stay! Very comfortable for family with teenagers. Very walkable and lots of great restaurants nearby. It was very quiet considering how centrally located it is. The house was very well stocked and we appreciated all the treats they left for us. Richard was very flexible and accommodating. We had a car and parking was actually very easy. We found a spot nearby every time we parked. But really you don’t need a car- we walked almost everywhere. This was the best Airbnb we have stayed at yet!

We had a wonderful stay in Janet and Drew’s place. The Italian market was such a great location for our family to be. Everyone we came into contact with was so nice and helpful. We were surrounded by amazing restaurants and businesses - it was fun to explore! The beds were comfortable, we had everything we needed, and the hosts were very responsive whenever we had questions. We would love to stay here again someday!

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The space was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Everything looked just like the photos—if not better. The host was communicative, kind, and made sure I had everything I needed. The location was perfect—safe, convenient, and close to everything I needed. What stood out the most was the attention to detail—small touches throughout the home made it feel warm and welcoming. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great experience!

I stayed here for my birthday and got to enjoy a lot of Philly without having to travel far. The house is really nice and even the outside has its own charm. Everything about it was nice thank you Angela for letting us stay!!

My group and I enjoyed Karena’s home. It was very clean and looked as described. There was more than enough space for a large group and plenty of toiletries and towels for everyone. She was responsive upon arrival and very helpful. Plenty of street parking. Would book again.

I was nervous about checking in as some reviews say it was a little complicated. It was not if you follow the directions they gave. The place was clean, very nice and felt safe. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at Malyka's place. She called to greet me and see if I had any needs prior to our arrival, the night before. She was responsive and very friendly. The apartment was comfortable, especially the beds. The shower had great flow and was wonderfully hot. Having the washer and dryer was a huge help. Please note though, there is a lack of electrical sockets in the living room for charging your phone or other electronics. We improvised and charged in the bedroom or bathroom. The neighborhood is walkable/bikeable with parks and playgrounds very close by. There is an abundance of options for food in the area as well. Give 'Tasties' a try for really great soul food. We would happily stay here again if in the Philly area.

Lailah, was very proactive with instructions, the place matched the description and was very clean. Worth every penny. I will most certainly book with her if ever in Philly again.

Very nice place inside. Well furnished with modern decor. Also very convenient to U of Penn and Center City. Guests should realize that this is in West Philly. If you are not comfortable in that environment then you should consider paying for a more expensive place in a more upscale neighborhood.

One of my favorite places we've stayed! It faces a major street though and in the front bedroom the road noise prevented sleep for my family. I stayed in the smaller back bedroom where the bed was amazingly comfortable and the road noise was almost pleasant haha. I felt like a welcomed and valued guest. Loved the fair trade caramel coffee!

We had such a lovely stay at Jeanette’s place while attending my 20-year reunion at Swarthmore College. The place was impeccably clean and thoughtfully stocked, the bed was super-comfortable, the location was perfect (a nice 25-minute-ish walk to campus), and Jeanette was wonderfully communicative and accommodating throughout. Highly recommend!

Our family loved staying at Gary’s place for our Philly vacation. It was incredibly clean, we felt secure in the house and neighborhood, and the free parking made it so easy for us to come and go. The home is exactly what you see in the listing, and Gary is an excellent host with super quick response time and detailed instructions and recommendations.

We love Garden Oasis! It is very charming and cozy. David is a great host and responsive. We had a special occasion on check-in day and asked for early check-in. David was able to accommodate and clearly cared to help us make our event special. If you like coffee on the patio, you'll love this place. The entrance is easy and private. We love this little get away! We were able to use the roll-away bed for an additional guest for a small fee. Very convenient.

So the townhome was AWESOME! looks just like its described. We only had an issue with the door because being from the south we’re not used to keypads like that. So you’ll put the code in and then the knob lol! Glad the neighbor helped us out. Andrea was very helpful and fast with responses.

Beautiful place! Sunlight throughout. Easy parking. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

I am honestly so sad I only stayed one night at this amazing place! Angel’s communication was the best I have ever experienced, and made the entire process so amazing. Frank was our tour guide who showed us around and was so kind and helpful. This place is awesome- amazing views, roof-top game room, and more. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in Philly!

Thank you for sharing your place and for always be responsive. I will definitely book again when back in town for another work trip. To fellow travelers, I want to say that I recommend this place and you won’t be making a wrong decision ☺️

Great little getaway in Philly! We had an amazing few days exploring the city, the place was perfect, clean, and well located. And… apologies for the noise! 😅 We might have enjoyed our stay a bit too much. Thanks again for having us!

I stayed with 2 other adults and it worked out great for us! Having 2 supermarkets and Target less than a block away was incredibly convenient. There was plenty of space, and my adult daughter reported that the pull-out sofa was comfortable (as were the beds in the bedrooms). Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. I was a little worried about the parking lot based on reviews, but it wasn't as cramped as I had imagined it. I was careful to take the ramps slowly, and there were no problems whatsoever. If you arrive by car and are alone, it could be tricky, as someone needs to check in and retrieve the parking "key" and pass. Elizabeth sends very clear instructions (including a video), so it's easy to navigate.

Elizabeth was very responsive and helpful and I'd definitely book again...

If you are looking for a good central location, that’s the perfect choice. The beautiful apartement is like a 5 star hotel. It looks very luxurious, the bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the whole apartement is spotlessly clean. You can also find several parking options for a good price if you arrive by car. I will definitely book again if I’m visiting Philly.
