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!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Jeneene's home. Jeneene was exceptionally communicative, responsive and thoughtful, including leaving a sweet congratulatory note to our daughter (who was graduating), providing local recommendations specific to our needs, and allowing us late check out. The property was exactly as described and was warm and welcoming. Thank you Jeneene for sharing your home!

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!

The game room was absolutely amazing and the hot tub, also a highlight . We loved the bar and the frosted glassware. The hosts were present/available without being at all intrusive. There were ample bathrooms and shower facilities with towels a’plenty. The beds were comfortable and the fire place,an unexpected bonus. The kitchen facilities were roomy and fully stocked. It was clean, comfortable and tons of fun- worth every penny 😊

Genine and Mike were great hosts. It was lovely to have picnics near the lake and the guest house was cozy.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This was a very clean, comfortable and spacious home. Host paid a lot of attention to details to help you feel at home. Neighborhood is very walkable and safe, with many coffee shops, restaurants and bars. Would recommend Rob and Amanda’s place without reservations. We would definitely stay here again!

Sandra's place was great. It had everything we needed and was so cute and quirky. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to a ton of cool vintage shops, restaurants and other attractions. We drove and were able to find parking a block away and just left the car there the whole stay. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. In addition Sandra was super responsive when I had questions.

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.

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.

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.

Great location, very clean, and overall an excellent space for having multiple people. Flo was very communicative and we all really enjoyed our stay!

Very clean and airy one bedroom with enough beds to accommodate a whole family! Young was very responsive and accommodating. The area is very safe and even though we arrived late in the evening, we were able to find free parking under the I95 bridge a short walk away. My understanding is typically the numbered streets going north and south also have free parking for non permit holders too, but we arrived too late to find those spots.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
