Delaware County, United States

Guest rating: 3.6 / 5

Overview

This is a two-story townhome vacation rental in Philadelphia's Cobbs Creek neighborhood in Delaware County, positioned roughly 4 miles from Downtown Philadelphia and 6.5 miles from Lincoln Financial Field. It's described as a bright, modern space with a private fenced-in yard and porch, functioning as a full home base rather than a traditional hotel. Guests enter via keyless entry, and the property is marked smoke-free with no pets, events, or parties allowed.

Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements

The townhome sleeps guests across four bedrooms plus a living room, including a queen bed, a full bed, a twin daybed, and two twin sleeper sofas (one in an office/fourth bedroom, one in the living room). All bedrooms and the full bathroom, which has a shower/tub combo, are located on the second floor. Interior touches include three Smart TVs with Roku and DISH satellite, a desk, dimmable recessed lighting, and air purifiers on both floors.

Kitchen & Amenities

The fully equipped kitchen includes all major appliances plus a dishwasher, cooking basics, pots and pans, spices, a Keurig coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, digital rice cooker, and Crockpot. Other conveniences include free Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, ironing board, hangers, linens and towels, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, central heating, and window A/C units. An elevator is also listed among the property's amenities.

Outdoor Space

Outdoor living includes a private porch furnished with two chairs and a small fenced-in yard, giving guests a quiet outdoor retreat uncommon in dense city rentals. This makes the property notable among nearby options for offering private outdoor space rather than shared or no outdoor area.

Location & Surroundings

The rental sits just steps from public transit, with the Baltimore Av & 55th St tram stop only 63 meters away and the 56th St & Christian St bus station 157 meters away, plus train access via Penn Medicine station (about 3.7km) and William H. Gray III 30th Street station (about 4.5km). A cluster of dining options is within a mile, including Toast Cafe, SOULFUL D'LITES, Mallys, Booker's Restaurant & Bar, Cottons Place, and Keeboom's soul food, while Philadelphia International Airport is about 8.4km away.

Best for

This rental suits groups or extended families needing multiple sleeping configurations (queen, full, daybed, and two sleeper sofas) along with a full kitchen and laundry for longer city stays. It's also well suited to travelers who value transit access, given the tram stop just 63 meters away and multiple nearby soul food and American restaurants for casual dining without a car.

Travel tips

Street parking is first-come, first-served, so arriving with flexibility around parking timing is worthwhile. The nearby Baltimore Av & 55th St tram stop and 56th St & Christian St bus station make it easy to reach Downtown Philadelphia (about 4 miles away) without driving, and Penn Medicine and 30th Street train stations are within a few kilometers for regional or Amtrak connections. For dining, several soul food and American restaurants sit within a kilometer, including Toast Cafe and Booker's Restaurant & Bar.
