House full of character in a convenient neighborhood

We loved how this old house had plenty of room, was well designed, and had both character and excellent renovations. The 3 bathrooms were sparkling new, the AC worked great during a heatwave, and the basement was a padded and fun refuge for our year and a half year old granddaughter who LOVED her time playing with balls and running around in the colorful, kid-safe area. All communication with the owner was clear, gracious, and helpful. We found the entire house was impressively clean, especially for an older house. We were in the area for a wedding and spent 8 days at the property, and it was a perfect stay for our family.

Nice home!

The property was spacious and warm. It was convenient to local restaurants and fun activities. It is also convenient to downtown Philadelphia with freeway and non-freeway routes. We have 3 kids, each of whom had their own room, which they loved. I loved the character and charm of the house. The woodwork is unbelievable. The house retains it historical detail with great updates in the bathrooms and appliances. My favorite place was the front porch after a long day of exploring. The kitchen is fully stocked. And, above all, the owner is very responsive. We would stay here again if we are in the area! Recommendation, the owners use Roku for the TVs. It s a good idea to research what Roku is before you arrive so you can get the TVs up and running correctly. Works great!

Great stay

This was a great house. There was plenty of space for everyone. The toys and craft materials were such a fantastic unexpected surprise. However, if you are light sleeper, this may not be the place for you. It is an old house and the upstairs flooring creaks. Otherwise, this was a great place. We highly recommend it for families.

Wedding Weekend

My wife and I booked the Elisa's house for a 3 night stay for our wedding weekend. Elisa's property was perfect for getting ready before our wedding and for unwinding after. The back yard was great for hanging outside and playing lawn games. The house was very clean and fully stocked with bed linens and towels. Elisa was very responsive throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend anyone to stay at this unique and beautiful historic house.

Excellent Property for families

House looks just like the pictures. I had family in town for graduation Very clean. Check in process very easy. Kitchen well stocked. My teenage niece loved the expresso machine. Enough dining room seating without feeling cramped. Full bathroom downstairs which was very good so people did not have to run upstairs for facilities. Front porch was very nice to sit on and enjoy the rain and talk. Master bedroom had an en-suite bathroom, which was very nice for my 80 plus mother. Each upstairs bathroom had a bidet and was very modern. Beds could have been a little more comfortable but it is hard to pull that off when u need to accommodate different age groups. Bedrooms were large enough so we were not on top of each other. Lots of books to read. My little nieces never tired of the children’s books Large backyard where we had a cookout for dinner one night. All grill supplies available The highlight of the house for the kids was the basement. Padded gym floor with every possible toy in bins. Couple of swings, gymnastic equipment and box’s full of all kinds to things to explore and dress up clothes. Play time was great Outside of the house could have been a little neater backyard grass was cut so we were fine being outside. 2 minute ride to valley green if u want to walk or run in the park. Close to chestnut hill for dining and shopping If you are looking for a place for family of different age groups to stay together. This is your place. Thank you to the owner

Really great for young toddlers

This house is really great for children. We had two year old twins with us or a week and all the toys and books kept them busy the entire week. The house is also really clean and has everything we need. The only thing that I think needs a little attention is the WiFi. We have two adults working from home half the time and we weren’t able to do zoom calls without getting dropped. If the WiFi issue can be addressed , this will be great for families who just need a little break from their apartments during this pandemic

Comfort and Unique Style in a Leafy Philly Suburb

This is a fully-updated century-old house in a classic NW suburb of Philadelphia. Outstanding features include deep-relief carved wood panels on the walls, and bathrooms with sparkling modern European fixtures: toilets, showers, sinks and, yes, bidets. Very spacious with 3 floors, and a well-equipped kitchen. Excellent AC and WiFi. Prompt, cordial communications with the owner. There were no issues. It is not far from Valley Forge, and directly across the street from the wonderful Morris Arboretum. It is a ways from downtown, but a pleasant drive on forested parkways. Our best vacation rental ever.

Amazing house, a wonderful stay! Highly recommended

Pictures do not do any justice to this modern appointed house. This is a wonderful house that is close to many amenities, park and the chic area of chestnut hill. It was a pleasant stay. Kitchen is large and well equipped with everything, the interior wood staircase and carved wood panels are incredible work of art. dining and living room are very comfortable; bedrooms are spacious and bright. Even the Bathrooms are state of the art, and super stylish and contemporary with European fittings. A wonderful surprise that comfortably accommodated our large family of 7. Highly recommended!!
