We had a great time. We thoroughly enjoyed our rooftop patio, the bed was very comfortable, the staff was friendly and a
Pros:

Great location. Lovely and eclectic accommodations.

Cons:

We stayed in the top floor room, Shippen. While the bathroom layout was not a dealbreaker for us, it would have been nice to know ahead of time what the loud was.

Great location near wonderful restaurants and fun whimsical decor, make this a hotel to return to!

Gorgeous decor, fantastic shower, lovely terrace comfortable sitting room.

Could not find parking to stay!
Cons:

We were so looking forward to staying but were not able to because we could not find parking. There was no information given about parking in the advertisement. When we messaged the staff, they said there was parking somewhere close by. We were very disappointed that they did not offer a refund. The scores we left in our review were not indicative of the conditions, just that we were very disappointed that we couldn’t find parking and stay.

Amazing boutique hotel surrounded by walkable museum, market, and great restaurants. A true gem that you will enjoy.
Pros:

A lovely boutique hotel that has been curated beautifully. The owner, Lisa is wonderful and will ensure your stay is amazing. The small kitchenette was convenient and it is rare to find a hotel that has windows that can be opened for fresh air. The location is amazing surrounded by great restaurants and nice neighborhoods to walk through. Very close to the Philadelphia Magic Garden Museum with many mosaic mural installations within walking distance.

Cons:

We liked everything!

If you are expecting typical hotel ammenities, this may not be the place for you.
Pros:

The actual room and building were charming, my suite was on the fourth floor and came with a balcony. The room was very clean and aesthetically pleasing.

Cons:

Dont be mistaken - this is essentially a glorified Airbnb. There's no staff at all, there's not even check-in they just tell you the code to the building and the name of your suite. There is no elevator. Much of the amenities are what you would expect from an Airbnb - i.e. coffee and toiletries bought from a grocery store. Curtains are not blackout, there are only privacy shades. Worst of all there was no easy way to get help. There was no information inside the building at all. I didn't know the wifi password, and my room was missing hand soap, but when I tried to contact the building through booking.com app, the phone number led to an employee who hadn't worked there in nearly 8 months, and I had to get the actual phone number to the owner through her. When I tried calling that one there was no answer or way to leave a voicemail. Booking.com support wasn't able to reach the owner either but messaged her. Luckily, I did get a call back about 15-20 minutes later, and she texted me the wifi code, and told me to grab the hand soap from the communal kitchen on the fourth floor.

What a gem. It is a beautiful property and well placed for lots of great places to eat.
Pros:

The room was beautiful, the bed and pillows were comfortable, and it was very clean. The water pressure was good in the shower and I felt very safe as a solo traveler. It's in the Italian part of town and there are tons of great restaurants and murals all around.

Cons:

There was nothing really.... there was ingredients for coffee but no creamer so I ran across the street to Bart's Bagels.

Très jolie maison mais ceux qui ont besoin du comfort moderne à éviter
Pros:

La maison du maître est magnifique. Emplacement sud Philadelphie parfait . Literie très bien.

Cons:

Au 3eme sans ascenseur avec 3 grosses valises et 2 enfants c’est compliqué. Pour ceux qui ont besoin du noir pour dormir c’est foutu. Pas de stores . Et on entend énormément la pluie dehors.

nette Lage, zu wenig Charme
Pros:

große Küche
ganz gute Lage
ruhiges Zimmer
sehr hübsche Ausstattung im Empfangszimmer des Hauses

Cons:

Das ganze Zimmer / Apartment sieht ziemlich zusammengewürfelt aus, Schlafzimmer erschien in der Mitte einer Renovierung zu sein ( verschiedene Farbanstriche an der Wand)
Tür zum restlichen Haus ließ sich nur schlecht verschließen, keine wirkliche Sicherheit /French Doors, die klapperten)
kein Frühstück
