Our room was very clean & bed was extremely comfortable. Cesar & Jeannette were great hosts and accommodating. Communication was very good and all our questions about Philly were answered via texts or in-person chatting. Hope to return for a longer stay!

Staff over the top. A step back into time into a home with vintage furniture and hospitality. Enjoyed sitting with others over breakfast and marveling at the historic details on the inlaid floors . Not for the ultra modern traveler. A place where there is character and good company.
I really loved the historical feeling of this beautiful property, and even though I was staying for work, it was a great place to spend a few evenings! Loved it!
The property and rooms are so comfortable and nostalgic allowing for inspiration and relaxation. The locations is perfect as everything is a short drive to get to. Will definitely stay again.

Staff was very welcoming and property was well located.
This Victorian home is a feast for the eyes. The environment is peaceful, and the bed was very comfortable with the smoothest of sheets.
We will return.
The area leading to the property left us a little uncomfortable, but as we’ve gotten near the property, the neighborhood was quiet and well kept. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the morning complementary breakfast extremely tasty.. The property itself is very cool due to all the antiques to go with the Victorian home..
