Immerse yourself in Philly's historic beauty at this cozy 2BR apartment! Nestled in vibrant Fishtown, this 2-bedroom gem invites you to relax and explore. Unwind in the sun-lit living room area after a day of soaking up the city's boundless energy. Two beautiful recliners and a giant wall-mounted TV are featured in this space. Or, enjoy a guilt-free nap in one of the 2 comfy bedrooms, each with heavenly Brooklinen bedding and a sparkling bathroom.
Cook up delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, then gather around the TV to enjoy movie nights on the 75" screen...it's almost bigger than the wall it hangs on! Popcorn provided upon request.
With convenient bus and subway access, the whole city is at your fingertips! Book your stay and discover. Even better this unit has its own parking space downstairs! That is a rare treat in all of Philly but especially in Fishtown. We ask for a special agreement to be signed regarding the parking and an extra $5/night to cover our insurance. That is significantly less than you'll pay to park almost anywhere in the country these days!
I am available by contact 24/7 to assist you with any inquiries or concerns you may have. In addition, our daughter lives less than two miles away and still serves on the Condo Association for our building. She can help you with anything and even knows the neighbors if contact is required. Feel free to reach out to me at any time, and I will respond promptly. Your satisfaction and comfort during your stay are my top priorities. Thank you for choosing our accommodation, and please let us know what we can do to ensure you have a pleasant experience.
Step outside your door and into Fishtown's artistic pulse! This vibrant neighborhood is full of colorful murals and communities living in updated 19th-century rowhouses. Independent shops and cafes weave their magic around every corner, while trendy galleries and studios ignite the creative spirit. Take a breather in one of many community gardens and dog parks, including a small one next door to our building (sadly, NOT dog friendly). Or fuel your adventures with Philly cheesesteaks, Vietnamese pho, trendy brunch or by dining in one of many popular food establishments. Fishtown is a haven for foodies including (but not limited to) Middle Child, Laser Wolf, Kalaya, Suraya, Wm. Mulherin's, Bake Life and Murph's Bar-most within a short walk of our unit. This is truly one of Philly’s most talked-about neighborhoods for its essential bars, cafes and restaurants. Every short walk promises community, creativity and often an unforgettable Philly experience.
Guests have full access to the entire unit during their stay, except for one small closet at the entry where we store our personal belongings. Enjoy the relief and amenities of the space to make yourself feel right at home. The unit was designed for comfort, convenience and a "no place like home" feeling. Sink into comfy recliners after your city adventures. Then retreat to your bedroom, each with a full bath adjacent or attached and its own flat screen TV for private viewing when preferred. In the Primary Suite, a mechanical King bed has separate controls to maximize individual comfort.
Unleash your inner chef in the fully equipped kitchen, including cast iron cookware, a selection of spices, condiments and cooking tools. Your well-behaved pets (up to two) are welcome and even have their own space to chill while being close to their humans. A basket of toys sits ready to be shared.
Your Philly haven whispers:
- 2 dreamy bedrooms with cloud-like bedding, lots of reading material and secret storage nooks with charging ports on every side/end table.
- 2 spotless bathrooms to wash away the day's worries. A basket of guest necessities is stashed in each bath in case you've forgotten a personal care item.

Your Philly experience awaits!
This central haven sits nestled near a network of buses and subways, whisking you to vibrant neighborhoods and iconic sights in a flash. Hop on a bus or metro just two short blocks away. Center City's bustling energy and historic charm are just a short ride from there. Philly's renowned museums, including the eclectic Magic Gardens and the classic Barnes Foundation are a delight for the artistically inclined and the historic sites of the Old City like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are awaiting your exploration with or without a guide. Want to feel the wind in your hair? Grab a bike from a nearby Indego station and paint the town red on two wheels. Or partake in one of five tours of Philly's street art through the Mural Arts Foundation. Whether you're a public transport pro or a free-spirited explorer, Philadelphia's pulse beats just outside your door - ready to be discovered at your own pace.
*Please take note of the following important information:*
The temperature is controlled by wall-mounted units in each room. They are a bit finicky, but we stand ready to assist if the units do not appear to be working.
Please note this apartment is located in the north part of Philadelphia. We strive to provide a secure and peaceful environment for our guests but cannot control what happens outside. I have walked this neighborhood extensively at all hours and never felt unsafe. But i am a frequent traveler with great awareness of my surroundings. Please do research on the area prior to booking, as we do not provide a refund or guarantee on the area.
Consumables: Guests are responsible for replenishing their own consumables (e.g., toiletries, food, beverages) after the initial supply provided. Coffee and tea are available via a Nespresso machine and a standard drip coffee maker. Initial supplies of capsules and ground coffee are there for your arrival days but should not be used for the entirety of your stay.
There is not really a dedicated dining area in the unit. Instead, the Living Room coffee table converts to a larger, higher dining table and additional seating is provided.
Secure Smart-Lock Check-In: You will receive your own secure smart lock code prior to your arrival, allowing for a smooth and convenient check-in process.
Parking: The garage below our unit includes an assigned parking space. A separate agreement and additional cost of $5/day will be required for its use. Please note that parking is a challenge throughout all of Philadelphia so driving to local venues is not necessarily the best way. However, it is nice to have a vehicle for shopping, airport/train station runs and out-of-area visits-there are many great places around Philly we can recommend if you have the time to enjoy them.
