Holiday rentals with a fireplace in University City, Philadelphia

This home was beautiful! The listing was accurate and it was easy to find and had all the amenities you'd need. I wish that I had booked it for more than one night. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Renaud even had it decorated to celebrate my daughter's graduation which made all of us smile after a long day of travel. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in--and my home bed is pretty comfortable so that's hard to beat. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to find, which is great in an Airbnb. Free parking was very appreciated and easy to find right out front of the door. I will definitely stay in this location if I need a peaceful clean place just outside of the busy city of Philly.

Beautiful home in an awesome location. We traveled for my sister’s graduation at UPenn and we’re looking for something away from the city and found this place around 30 min away. Loved the area, home had 3 floors with bedroom on all levels. Loved the area and home.

A wonderful time spent at Jason’s Airbnb. Plenty of space to unwind. Everything was perfect. Felt right at home, would love to stay there again

Impeccably clean and well-appointed. Perfect for our trip to visit family close by. Close to churches, food, and shopping — whatever you need. Great neighborhood to walk and enjoy the area.

We love the charming Queen's Star so much that this was our fourth stay there! As always, it was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. We love that it is exceptionally clean and neat - just perfect! Ian and Beth are wonderful hosts, very responsive, welcoming and helpful in every way. The location is amazing - on a quiet street, and close to restaurants and shops. The Queen's Star is our favorite place to stay in Philadelphia and we can't wait till our next visit!

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful Philly apartment! It’s super clean, stylish, and well-appointed, but the hot tub really takes things to the next level—so relaxing after a day of exploring. Fair warning: there are a lot of stairs, so pack light and consider it your built-in workout! 😅 The location is unbeatable—quiet but close to everything. Definitely check out Café Lift just a 3-minute walk away for an incredible all-day brunch (the eggs benedict & lemon ricotta pancakes are chef’s kiss). Highly recommend this place for a cozy, elevated (literally!) Philly experience. Would absolutely stay again!

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.

The house was great! We were close to all the festivities and the city. The beds were very comfortable and we were provided great snacks and drinks. That was a great treat upon arrival. We would love to stay again!! Thank you!

Place was valid. Felt like home. The host was very clear cut with instructions and directions.

Loved our stay here during the Metallica concerts! The place was spotlessly clean and beautifully designed inside. The bed was very big and super comfortable—way better than an $800 hotel night, especially with a backyard to smoke, which is hard to find. The host was amazing—provided free slippers and a full bottle of wine, plus allowed a late check-out and an extra day, which was a big plus. The neighborhood is high-crime, but the police station on the corner kept us feeling safe, and all the neighbors seemed nice. A $12 Lyft to Center City Rittenhouse Square was convenient. Highly recommend for a great Philly trip!

It was a great stay, beautiful inside and out. Looking forward to my next stay...a whole Vibe!!

Diamond was a very responsive great host, place was beautiful. Enjoyed my stay very much.

I had a wonderful time staying at Chandra and Teddy's place. By far, it was the cleanest and best-equipped Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Everything you could possibly need—and more—was provided. They truly go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need and feel completely at home. The location was incredibly convenient, just a 15-minute drive outside of Philadelphia, and the included parking space was a great bonus. It gave me peace of mind knowing my car was safe overnight, while also providing a quiet place to sleep. Overall, my stay was great, and I’m already looking forward to staying there again on my next trip to Philadelphia 😊

I enjoyed staying at William's place. Upon calling him, he was very friendly and responsive. He was able to assist with the check in process. The listing itself is very nice. It was clean and made me feel comfortable. Overall, I had a great experience!

Thanks Ali's wonderful house, a great life experience, and my family had great memories. A good place near the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Place was homey and clean. The host was incredibly responsive!

So many lovely features to the property. Jonas was very communicative. The road can be hard to find at night so read Jonas’ directions because they help greatly. Thank you, Jonas!!

Great place to stay - especially if you’re in town for any events at the stadiums. Super convenient and the neighborhood felt safe. Paul was especially great and very responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

I gave this home a 5 star rating because it was a very beautiful home that worked very well for my family . The plus points were the beautiful home , plenty of parking , lots of activities for all ages , lovely yard & very responsive host however there were some problems like some appliances in the main kitchen weren’t working and the media are dated . However we were able to use the second kitchen . The host did respond in a timely manner .

Qaiss’s place was a wonderful villa. It was very clean and spacious. My daughter graduated from a nearby school. So we had a few friends over. The celebration was awesome. My friends were raving about how wonderful the place was. Thanks Qaiss. Would definitely stay again.
