About this property

Elegant Victorian Centre City 1 BR Apartment - Rittenhouse Square

This is a beautiful one bedroom apartment in Center City Philadelphia. This Classy Victorian designed apartment is steps away from Rittenhouse Square and everything Central-City Philadelphia has to offer. In the heart of Philadelphia, this apartment is within walking distance of some of the city`s finest restaurants, shopping, and historic sites. Located on Walnut street, the city`s liveliest street, there is always something to do just steps away. (Basic toiletries are provided)

This apartment is a great size and comfortable; exactly where you want to be after a long day of moving around. The beauty within can be expressed by the breath-takingly high ceilings and golden coving. The entrance to the building carries through the natural victorian styling and really adds to the experience. There is also a modern and spacious bathroom as well as a fully applianced kitchen. In the bedroom, there is even a full walk-in closet. In this building, you will find an elevator that takes you to the top floor where you will find a beautiful rooftop deck with gorgeous views of Center City Philadelphia. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and a large sofa-bed in the living room which could accommodate an additional two. If you are looking for great views, visit the 5th or 8th floor (via the elevator) as we have two roof-top decks available to all in the building. (Basic toiletries are provided)

I like to give my guests their privacy. I am always available through messaging and if there is an emergency, i will be over to address it.

Beautiful Scenery - there are a lot of parks nearby and neighborhood cafes and eateries, as well as Walnut Street with its variety of stores.

Along the Rittenhouse sidewalks — many of which boast seating for alfresco dining and drinking in the warm months — residents and visitors find high-end stores; locally owned boutiques; small galleries; theaters and entertainment; cafes; beer, wine and cocktail bars; and restaurants of all kinds. With all this, the neighborhood buzzes with activity all year long!

We had an overall good stay at this VRBO. The host was excellent with communication—quick to respond, clear instructions, and made the entire process smooth. Check-in was especially easy and hassle-free, which we really appreciated after a long day of travel.The location is also a big plus. It’s conveniently situated and made getting around very easy, whether walking or driving to nearby spots.The only downside is the noise level. Being on the first floor, you can hear people coming and going at all hours, especially late at night and early in the morning. If you’re a light sleeper, this could definitely impact your stay.Overall, a solid option if you value convenience and a responsive host, but just be aware of the noise if that’s something that matters to you.

The unit is very nice and we greatly appreciated the vintage period architecture. Location is excellent!! It is one block off Rittenhouse square and is very quite. In the neighborhood there is a ton of excellent restaurants, including My Loup directly across the street which just received a Michelin recommendation.

Check in was simple. I did have to reach out to get the info to check in, but it was very clear and included a video which was very informative and the host replied very quickly. The place was clean, beautiful and comfortable. Conveniently located in Rittenhouse Square. Would definitely stay again for future Philly trips!
