LARGE and In Charge - 6 Bedroom stunner in University City - Philadelphia

Delaware County, United States

Guest rating: 4.9 / 5

Overview

LARGE and In Charge is a spacious, practically brand-new 6-bedroom home in Philadelphia's University City neighborhood, close to both Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. Set up as a full house rental rather than a traditional hotel, it offers plenty of room for large groups, families, or multiple travelers sharing a stay. With a 4.9 rating from 20 reviews, it stands out as a well-regarded option in the area.

Rooms & Layout

The home features six bedrooms, giving every guest a quiet retreat at the end of the day, paired with an open floor plan that keeps common areas connected for groups to gather. Two outdoor spaces, including rooftop access, a balcony, and a patio, add extra room to relax or entertain outside. Air conditioning, heating, and cable TV are provided throughout for comfort.

Amenities

A fully equipped kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave supports self-catering for the whole group, while a washer, ironing board, and free Wi-Fi cover everyday practical needs. An outdoor grill on the patio or rooftop is available for cookouts, and the property welcomes pets as well as children, with a crib provided for younger guests.

Location

The location is a defining feature of this property, sitting within walking distance of Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, and University Hospitals, and just minutes from Center City and the Philadelphia Art Museum. Tram stops at 41st St & Baring St (89m) and 41st St & Powelton Av (134m), plus the 40th St subway station (461m) and William H. Gray III 30th Street train station (2.1km), make getting around the city easy without a car. Numerous dining options -- including Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken & Wings, Nanu's Hot Chicken, Evans Pizza Restaurant Bar, Holy Guacamoly, Abyssinia, Savas Brick Oven Pizza, and New Deck Tavern -- are all within a short walk.

Best for

This property is best suited for large groups, extended families, or multiple couples traveling together who need six bedrooms and shared communal space, and for anyone visiting Drexel University, Penn, or the nearby hospitals for events, move-ins, or medical stays. Pet owners are also well served, since the home is explicitly pet-friendly with a patio and grill for outdoor time.

Travel tips

Parking is limited to side streets, so guests should plan ahead or search for nearby paid parking rather than expecting on-site parking. The 41st St tram stops are just steps from the door, and the 40th St subway station and 30th Street train station make it easy to reach Center City, the Philadelphia Art Museum, and the airport without a car. With numerous casual restaurants within a few blocks, guests can walk to dinner rather than drive.

What guests say

Guests consistently praise the location, noting how close the property is to Drexel, Penn, and University City dining and transit. Comfort of the beds was also highlighted as a positive. On the negative side, some reviewers mentioned cosmetic wear such as scuffed walls and loose door or bathroom hardware, suggesting the interior could use some refreshing. There were also comments about difficulty reaching the management company, which sometimes redirected communication to the property owner directly.
