1918 Duplex with Character City Center

Welcome to Our Charming 1918 Duplex in the Heart of Philadelphia

Location is everything—and our duplex puts you right in the center of it all. Whether you're here for a convention, exploring University City, the Arts District, Rittenhouse, Chinatown, Queen Village, the Gayborhood, or historic Old City, this is the perfect home base for your stay.

Whole Foods, popular restaurants, bars, shopping, and a dog park are all just a short walk away. For added convenience, 24/7 garage parking is located just down the street.

Step inside our two-level apartment and enjoy the timeless character of a historic 1918 home, thoughtfully updated with modern furnishings. The unique bi-level layout features a cozy fireplace, a spacious outdoor deck with city views, and a kitchen bathed in natural light from two skylights—perfect for a morning coffee or tea.

Whether you're making breakfast, relaxing on the deck, or taking a peaceful walk through the nearby park, the space offers a blend of charm and comfort for all types of travelers.


Guest Access & Notes
Guests have full access to the apartment. Please note that the deck has a maximum occupancy of five people at a time for safety. If you need special sleeping arrangements, kindly let us know in advance so we can accommodate your needs.


Important Details to Keep in Mind

✦ A surveillance camera is located at the stairwell entry leading to the apartment.
✦ Decibel monitoring devices are placed in the living room, dining area, and patio.
✦ The handrail leading up to the bedrooms/kitchen/dining area is wall-mounted (please see photos).
✦ Due to the staircase layout, we do not recommend this listing for young children or elderly guests.


A Note on the Home's Character
This is a true vintage Philadelphia home, not a modern cookie-cutter apartment. With its age comes charm—and some quirks. For example, the sink may drain slower than you're used to, and some sloped ceilings may feel unconventional.

If small imperfections or aesthetic quirks may affect your comfort, we kindly encourage you to explore other options. We value transparency and want to ensure our guests feel fully informed and at home when they arrive.

Thank you for considering our space—we hope it’s the right fit for your stay in Philadelphia!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
It’s a nice 2 bedroom option in a perfect location. The steps are somewhat challenging. The separate location of the living room allows some nice separation if you have 3 adults with 1 in the living room. Can’t beat the location!
