House vacation rentals in University 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!

We came to Cindy’s place for a High School graduation. It was an easy 18 minute commute to Lawrenceville. The house accommodated our party. There was lots of room for our 10 guest in the house, Great kitchen to cook in. The yard was big and spacious. Areas to throw a football, kids to play on the playground and area for adults to gather at the pool and cabana. Communication and check in was all easy.

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!

Pauline’s place was amazing , our family and friends stayed for a lacrosse tournament and we got to enjoy the pool / beautiful outdoor space & AC / game room inside on a hot weekend. Every time we had a question they were quick to respond. We hope to return soon, perfect for a weekend get away.

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

We had a group staying for a month which was something he was not used to, but Steve was very accommodating. It was an amazing place to stay and is close to many restaurants, grocery stores, a gym (which was very accommodating by offering a one-month membership), and it was easy to get around the area. It is a phenomenal house, and the cat was great company greeting us when we came home or got up. It was like a home away from home having everything we needed including a washer and dryer. I would highly recommend this property and would absolutely look forward to staying there again.

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.

Allison & Timothy are exceptional hosts. They gave precise instructions which are easy to follow. Their place is super clean and very nice. They responded to our messages usually within minutes if not immediately. The neighborhood is also very nice with friendly neighbors too. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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!

Good location in walking distance to everything. I wouldn’t call it a 4 bedroom though. One room enclosed by a curtain. Modern upgrades as shown in the picture which is nice. Hosts were very responsive, helpful and great to work with. I would recommend.

We really loved this air b and b… Communication was excellent with the owners and information was clear. Check in was easy. The space itself is really great. There is a massive window as seen in the pictures that is remarkable and lets in amazing light. We had plenty of room and the rooms were well appointed. We enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony on the 3rd floor. The master bedroom and bath were clean and spacious. The location was good for us as we were in town for a graduation. We would come back and stay here in a heart beat!

This is such a great townhome in a quiet neighborhood. I was amazed how private it is while still being located right in the center city near plenty of great restaurants. Having the off-street parking spot was perfect for us. It was so nice to just park there and walk everywhere! The home itself is great - open and very spacious. And the owners are so responsive and friendly! Overall a great place!

Jay was a great host. Apartment had plenty of space for my family and friends.

It was such a fun and cute place to stay at. The host had great recommendations for nearby restaurants too!

We loved our stay! After having lived in Philly for 7 years, it’s always fun to come back for a visit and we felt right at home at Marc and Rachel’s. The best location in the city, and super beautiful and clean home. Highly recommend staying there!

We had a very good stay. The house was the perfect size for our group of 8 and we found parking with no problems. The host was very responsive and helpful with anything we needed.

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.

Mark’s place was impeccable in so many ways. It was super clean and there was attention to every detail from the coffee to the bows on the toilet paper. My main concern before booking was the safety of the neighborhood. Mark assured me it was safe and he was right!! The neighbors were super friendly and we walked to several restaurants, meeting nothing but great people on the way. Mark’s place was worth every penny and we made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you so much, Mark! I give this place a 10 out of 5!!!

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 great stay! The home was beautiful and looked just like the photos. The rooftop was a fantastic bonus. Having garage parking, along with additional space in front of it, was really convenient. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect stay in the cutest neighborhood in Philly! The house was clean, comfortable, and very well located to walk around Fairmount. The host was responsive and the check-in/check-out process was smooth. Would definitely stay here again the next time I come to see friends!
