Convenient home in Little Italy w/ off street PK
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Convenient home in Little Italy w/ off street PK is a full-house stay used as a home base for the Wilmington/Delaware City area, set in the Little Italy neighborhood near downtown and I‑95. Guests have access to the entire house, including an open-concept first floor and a three-bedroom second floor. The property is smoke-free and is positioned for walkable dining and nightlife around nearby Trolley Square.
Layout & In-home Features
The first floor centers on an open living area with a sectional sofa, a dining table seating six, and a half bath. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom, and laundry is located in a semi-finished basement. Climate comfort is supported by heating and air conditioning, with added touches like a fireplace, balcony, and patio/outdoor space accessed via the rear entrance.
Kitchen & Connectivity
A full kitchen is provided for self-catering, including an oven/stove and microwave, plus core conveniences such as an ironing board and in-unit washer access. For downtime, the home includes cable TV and free Wi‑Fi. The setup suits longer stays where cooking and laundry matter as much as location.
Parking & Pet Policy
A key practical feature is a private two-space off-street parking lot. Note that the driveway approach is fairly steep, so very low-clearance vehicles may scrape, and the lot is shared—another building uses the first space on the left, while this home uses the middle and right spaces. The home is pet-friendly for dogs only on a case-by-case basis with prior approval, and cats are not allowed.
Getting Around & Nearby Spots
Local transit is close by, with bus stops at 8th St @ Broom St (about 93 m) and Clayton St @ 8th St–St Francis Hosp (about 153 m). Wilmington Train Station is about 1.8 km away, and nearby dining includes Tropicalia Restaurant (about 468 m), Three Amigos Mexican Grill Bar (about 573 m), Union Street Pub (about 642 m), and Kid Shelleen’s – Trolley Square (about 858 m). Airports include Wilmington Airport (about 8.7 km) and Philadelphia International Airport (about 30.8 km).
Best for
This home is best for travelers who want a neighborhood base near Wilmington’s downtown/I‑95 access with walkable dining and nightlife around Trolley Square. It also suits longer stays or small groups thanks to a full kitchen, laundry access, and an open living/dining setup with seating for six. Drivers will value the two-space off-street parking, with the important note about the steep driveway angle and shared-lot space assignment.
Travel tips
If you’re driving, plan for the fairly steep driveway; very low vehicles may scrape, and be sure to use the middle and right spaces since the left space is reserved for the adjacent building. For car-free trips, several bus stops are within a short walk (as close as ~93 m), and Wilmington Train Station is roughly 1.8 km away. Dining options are plentiful within about 0.5–1.5 km, including pubs, Mexican, and Dominican restaurants near Trolley Square.
What guests say
Reviews highlight a very strong overall satisfaction level, reflected in the high public rating (4.8844156 from 77 reviews). Guests repeatedly emphasize cleanliness, a convenient location for the Wilmington area, and a well-stocked feel that supports comfortable stays. The home’s practical setup—kitchen, living area, and in-house essentials—comes through as a key reason people would return. No consistent negatives are provided in the excerpts, though parking logistics (steep driveway angle and shared-lot space assignments) are important to understand ahead of arrival.
