Kid-friendly vacation rentals in South Philadelphia

In a city of hundreds of stay options, Katerina's house was a great reminder for me on the positives of choosing an airbnb over a hotel. We had the whole house with a yard to ourselves. It was spacious, clean, and well appointed. The host was kind and responsive. All in all, it was perfect.

Place was perfect for my family and the hosts were very helpful

The house was very meticulous cared for. Everything was neat and clean. The finished basement with computer desk and laundry area was thoughtful although we didn’t utilize that. My husband and children and I visited for family to watch the Super Bowl in the city that we are from. We got to do exactly that and show our children how Philadelphia looks in celebration of the win. The only thing we missed was television in the bedrooms since our children are younger. There is only one TV in the living room. We had tablets and all otherwise and with the WiFi it was an amazing experience! We would definitely stay here again. I felt very comfortable with our family because of the cleanliness! 100% recommend and thank you so much for your hospitality :-)

Perfect spot for our visiting family. Close to many amenities, lots of room, and an overall homey and fun spot. Hosts are so responsive and kind. They were proactive in reaching out with check in instructions and follow up quickly. This put our mind and travels at ease.

The house was as described getting into the drive was a little hectic but did not diminish the house or the stay ❤️ my friends and I liked and enjoyed our stay!

Great value and great host. Thanks Ana!

Great place! My wife and I stayed 6 nights with our 4 kids. One daughter did a week long summer ballet program nearby. The house was very nice. Plenty of space for everyone. We used delivery services for groceries. Location was ideal. Reanimator coffee shop (across the street) was our go to every morning. We walked to restaurants in the area. Having the SEPTA station nearby on Broad/Federal St was helpful but we also took an Uber to downtown for $7 to $20 depending on time of day. Kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner one night. Enjoyed having family time watching Olympics in the living room together or playing Scrabble at the dinner table. We used the washer and dryer since we had traveled over a week from home. Asli and Mike messaged/texted to make sure we had everything we needed and answered quickly when we had a question. They even dropped off some paper towels on day 2 after we had texted so we felt very cared for. Would definitely stay here again if in Philadelphia!

The home was exactly as pictured and we had a very comfortable stay. Mariama was a great host and had an abundance of amenities! She made check in and check out super easy. My family had a great weekend stay and would absolutely book again if we are in the area.

Malyka was welcoming, helpful, and made me and my coworker feel at home during our weekend in Philly for a conference. Highly recommend. The area is beautiful and safe and a very walkable distance to the nearest SEPTA trolley.

Traveling to a big city it is expected to have some issues with parking. The host was very helpful in recommending nearby parking which is less than 5 minutes walk. The place itself was immaculately clean. Nice walkable neighborhood. Within walking distance to Liberty Bell and several museums. I would definitely consider staying there again if I have the need to travel to Philadelphia.

Very nice place to stay an in a great location Clean and quiet, great view out the windows

Joseph was great and accommodating, my family was traveling for a funeral and needed an early check-in and other accommodations. Joseph made sure the home was ready early and spotless. I would definitely recommend.

Awesome place with an awesome host.. My daughter whose 3 years old loves “her room” the room with dolls and Rainbow curtains. Whenever I’m back in the Philly area I will be booking here

Very nice and comfortable, I’ll definitely book again. Emg was a great host.

The place was very close to the Convention Center and downtown making it very walkable to most Philly locations. The apartment was comfortable, clean, and quiet. Would recommend.

Samantha's place was perfect for our recent visit for our daughter's Capstone presentation. We love staying right in BrynMawr right by her house with so many fun restaurants and bars within walking distance. The apartment is on a quiet street too which was nice for sleeping! The apartment is well stocked and Samantha's visitors guide is very well done. We walked both mornings over on the Haverford trail and stopped for coffee at La Colombe on our way back. I would definitely stay here again if available!

The house we stayed at was great, very clean and getting in was a breeze. We were able to park around the corner all weekend and there are spaces available in close proximity. With just being us girls and not being there before the area was very walkable and we felt safe. Natasha made it very easy to get in and out of the apartment. Would absolutely go back!

We had a great 2-night stay for a quick family trip to Philadelphia with a 4 year old and 8 month old. The apartment was exactly as described with several thoughtful extras and in a great location for walking to the historic areas of the city. There was some road noise in the back bedroom (and you could hear the kids upstairs running around) but we quickly got used to it and it didn’t wake up the baby - so not a big deal. We only had one question (about parking) and Gabriel quickly responded, and it turned out that the info we needed had already been provided along with any other info we might have required. The place was family friendly as described and the only thing our 4 year old asked for that wasn’t there already was a stool to stand on in the bathroom :) Overall we had a very good stay and wished that we could’ve stayed longer.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is roomy and well maintained. The bed is incredibly comfortable too. If you are not driving, many sites of interest are a subway ride away, Uber or within walking distance. The place is on one of the major streets in Philadelphia, so everything is close. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay when visiting Philly!

I was very satisfied with my stay here. comfortable, clean and cozy. Communication with host is great and area is safe. I do recommend this stay. And will book here again.

I love the aesthetics throughout the property. I was already familiar with the area and it was conveniently close to everything that I needed to do. I really enjoyed the kitchen set up and the yard. The beds were super comfy. It took me a little minute to figure out how to work one of the showers however, it was definitely amazing. A friend of mine recommended this location to me (they should offer her a discount lol) and I would definitely stay again.

I walked to Reanimator coffee in Fishtown every morning and got takeout for everyone. The bed was comfortable. Interesting inustrial + yuppie condo neighborhood. Was perfect for us.

I'd rent again, just to be clear. Christina was a great host-just what you want in terms of responsiveness, etc. Directions are very detailed & important to follow, given the mismatch between the AirBnB address & the entrance. I've only stayed in Fishtown & know it's difficult to park. Didn't use Christina's detailed map for street parking & just went to the lot on North Front Street. A 3 minute walk. $25/night. Worth it. Recommendations for places to go are spot on. Christina's list is great place to start for local spots. Took the one bedroom option. Place was still quite spacious & easy for two to WFH w/o getting in each other's way. Bed was very comfortable & the shower was good. The heating system fan is loud. You probably won't need that white noise machine in the bedroom. When leaving the apartment, I'd walk toward West Thompson rather than West Girard-a little shady there under the "el". (Sorry I forgot to run the dishwasher when we left.)
