Delaware County, United States
Guest rating: 3.4 / 5
Overview
This listing is a private, basement-level studio apartment in a residential pocket of Philadelphia, situated in Delaware County. The open layout provides plenty of room to spread out, making it a comfortable base for couples, solo travelers, or small groups rather than a traditional hotel-style room. The host maintains the unit to be clean and functional, a point echoed in guest feedback.
In-Unit Amenities
The studio includes a full kitchen, washer and dryer, air conditioning and heating, an ironing board, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi, giving guests the practical setup of a home rather than just a room. It is a smoke-free space, and free parking is available on-site, which is a notable convenience in a dense city neighborhood.
Location & Surroundings
The unit sits within a very short walk of public transit, with the Market St & 51st St bus stop just 70 meters away, Chestnut St & 51st St bus stop 106 meters away, and the 52nd St subway station only 166 meters away. Center City Philadelphia is roughly a 10-minute train ride away, giving guests quick access to downtown restaurants, shopping, and attractions while staying in a more residential, city-neighborhood setting.
Dining Nearby
A wide range of dining options sit within easy walking distance, including Greedy's soul food just 56 meters away, Cholula Mexican Grill at 391 meters, Ree Vee's Eatery at 663 meters, and Mallys chicken restaurant at 588 meters. Guests seeking more variety can walk to 48th Street Grille (Jamaican), Urban Sushi & Kitchen, Hadramout Restaurant (Yemeni), or Booker's Restaurant & Bar, all within about a mile.
Setting & Practical Notes
As a basement unit in an active city neighborhood, the property offers a lived-in, residential feel rather than a polished commercial hotel atmosphere. Guests should be comfortable with typical urban surroundings and street-level city noise as part of the experience.
Best for
This studio is best suited to couples, solo travelers, or small groups who want an affordable, self-catering base with easy transit access into Center City Philadelphia. The in-unit kitchen, washer/dryer, and free parking make it especially practical for longer stays or travelers who prefer doing their own cooking and laundry rather than relying on hotel services.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the 52nd St subway station and multiple bus stops within a couple hundred meters to reach Center City in about 10 minutes without needing a car, though free on-site parking is available if you do drive. Philadelphia International Airport is roughly 9.8 km away, making it a reasonably quick ride to and from the property, while William H. Gray III 30th Street train station is about 3.5 km away for regional and Amtrak connections. Since this is a basement unit in a lively urban neighborhood, plan for typical city sounds and activity outside.
