Private Backyard Jawn! Multi-Level Philly Rowhouse

Delaware County, United States

Guest rating: 2.4 / 5

Overview

This listing is a two-story Philadelphia rowhouse in West Philly, offered as a whole-home vacation rental rather than a traditional hotel. It sleeps a larger group across four bedrooms with a mix of queen and full beds, and features a private backyard with a patio and traditional front stoop typical of the neighborhood's rowhouse architecture.

Rooms & Layout

The home has four bedrooms — three with queen beds and one with a full bed — with all bedrooms and the full bathroom located on the second floor, plus a half bath on the first floor. Each bedroom and the living room includes a Smart TV, and exterior stairs are required to enter the property.

Kitchen & Amenities

The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker, and cooking basics and dishware for self-catering. Additional amenities include free Wi-Fi, central heating and air conditioning, a washer and dryer, an ironing board, keyless entry, and complimentary towels, linens, and toiletries.

Outdoor Space

A standout feature of this rowhouse is its private backyard with a patio dining area and a charcoal kettle grill, giving guests outdoor space that's uncommon for a dense city rowhouse. Free off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Location

The property sits in West Philadelphia, steps from a tram stop and bus station, with a handful of casual restaurants — including a cheesesteak shop and soul food spots — within a few blocks. It's roughly 2 miles from the University of Pennsylvania, 3 miles from Drexel, 5 miles from Temple, and about 5-7 miles from Philadelphia International Airport, the Liberty Bell, Lincoln Financial Field, and Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Best for

This rowhouse suits groups and families traveling together who want more space and privacy than a standard hotel room, thanks to its four bedrooms, full kitchen, and private backyard with a grill. It's also a good fit for sports and college-visit travelers, given its proximity to Penn, Drexel, and the SEPTA transit connections to Eagles, Phillies, and soccer venues. Budget-conscious groups who plan to cook some meals and value free parking and laundry will also benefit.

Travel tips

A tram stop (Chester Av & 55th St) is just steps from the door and a bus station is about a block away, making car-free trips into Center City or to sporting events feasible. Train stations at Penn Medicine and 30th Street are roughly 3-4 km away and connect to Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and the Liberty Bell area. Since the rowhouse requires exterior stairs to enter and all bedrooms are on the second floor, pack light if mobility on stairs is a concern, and note that parking is off-street and first-come, first-served.

What guests say

With only 6 reviews and a 2.4 rating, guest feedback on this rowhouse appears mixed to negative overall, though specific excerpts were not provided. The low score suggests recurring dissatisfaction, but without direct quotes it isn't possible to pinpoint exact complaints such as cleanliness, condition, or accuracy of the listing. Prospective guests should weigh the property's compelling location and layout against its below-average review rating before booking.
