The house is lovely. Brian was an excellent and attentive host. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was recently remodeled. There were snacks and wine, tea, and water available in the evening. Because the room I was in did not have an en suite bathroom (although the bathroom was private), bathrobes were provided. I understand that most rooms in the house have en suite bathrooms. Limited parallel parking was available on the street at night; daytime parking was limited to 2 hours from 9 am to 5 pm.

Comfortable room, great food and service
Eric greeted us warmly and showed us around. When I booked, I mentioned that we had an earlier meeting than the breakfast hours so would miss the meal. Eric took note and had very thoughtfully packed us FULL breakfasts to take along with us in the morning! That was above and beyond what was expected. We stepped out for dinner to a restaurant which he had recommended. When we got back there was homemade biscotti - some of the best I've ever had. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the area was quiet. Overall, we had an exceptional stay, and if I ever need a room in the area again, I would book at Cornerstone B&B

Our new one and only in Philly! <3
WOW! We stay exclusively at BnBs and have been to several across the US and in the UK and Europe. This is one of the BEST! The hosts are absolutely adorable and pay attention to the little details. They are warm and gregarious, but VERY thoughtful. They even made us a special vegan breakfast and brought it up to our room for us! The house is beautiful and appointed with all the charm you can imagine and still has those 21st Century comforts we've all come to rely on. I can't say enough wonderful things about the Cornerstone Bed and Breakfast. Simply outstanding!

The innkeepers were young, friendly, but never intrusive. Our room was nice and well equipped to settle in and sleep at the end of the day. The breakfasts were served on the porch or in your room because of covid-19. We ate breakfast on the porch every day and it was the highlight of my day in an otherwise hectic week of moving my daughter from one apartment to another!! Another adaptation they’ve made for their guests during the pandemic (Indoor dining isn’t happening at Philly restaurants) is they will set a table with real plates, silver and candles so your takeout feels fancy. There was just a great vibe going on here and we will definitely come back!

Newly renovated stylish bed and breakfast! A couple of young innkeepers purchased this property and have transformed it into a warm, inviting, trendy place to stay. They have decorated with vibrant colors and adorned the interior with interesting pieces which made us appreciate the richness of the past. Yet -they have quietly ensured all the comforts of our present times. We stayed in the Continental Suite which is perfect for a family of 4, a group of friends traveling together, or a couple who may prefer a bit of luxury and extra space. This top floor Suite offers two bedrooms with adjoining bath ( including a marvelous jacuzzi as well as shower) and a sitting room with TV. An honor bar is provided with a well appointed selection of wines and beers along with coffee and other beverages. Breakfast is delightful. Offerings included pumpkin spice pancakes with freshly whipped maple cream and waffles with strawberry sauce with crisp bacon. A constantly refilled basket of thoughtful healthy snacks was set by the beverage bar in the dining room and an additional offering of cold cider and homemade mini baked goodies always available. Excellent attention to detail and comfort! Excellent value. Quiet, private safe haven in the heart of Philadelphia. Enjoy!

We had a delightful stay at Cornerstone where my friend and I shared the two bedroom suite. We found the beds to be very comfortable; the pillows and sheets are luxurious. Breakfast was excellent with a fresh made goat cheese and egg scramble plus toast with a delicious pepper jam, Also available were melon, bread, rolls, muffins and other accompaniments. The house is rich with Victorian detail, clean and tidy and fun to look at. A charming young couple are the hosts, who do a marvelous job with everything. A comfortable, convenient B&B near the art museum area, , Drexel and U of P, the Schuylkill River and Fairmount Park. we'll be back.

This is a very authentic bed and breakfast. The home dates back to the 1800's. Very quaint. All the rooms have their own bathroom except one but the bath is right around the corner and it is all yours. It is not shared. Breakfast was delicious the next day. When you arrive they have a nice lemonade and homemade chocolate chip cookie. Wine and beer are available for 'happy hour' prices. There is a large wrap around porch you can sit and watch the people of Philadelphia just stroll by. The location is in the heart of U Penn and Drexal. Lots of restaurants and things to do. I had difficultly with the room TV but the owner was very helpful.

Had a wonderful stay at the B&B for 5 nights. The house is incredible dating back from 1776 with impeccable interior and charm (check out the wallpapered ceiling in the dining room!). My room was extremely comfortable with a nice bed and cozy layout. It has everything you need: comfort, peace, excellent Wifi and a pleasant neighbourhood, close to the universities and also some really cool restaurants and shops. Eric and Jill are the most hospitable and friendly hosts - on arrival, I had homemade cookies prepared for me up in my room with plenty of refreshments available throughout the day! The highlight, however, is the catered breakfast each morning. Since I follow a vegan diet, Eric prepared a different vegan dish each dish. There's something special about a place that goes above and beyond to provide a memorable experience and one, you would happily return for. Eric and Jill have done a wonderful job with the place, are always willing to help and I highly recommend staying here when you are in Philly!

This was the best place I've stayed in as long as I can remember. The owners were extremely welcoming and made me feel like I belonged in the house. They were kind enough to provide me a to-go breakfast even earlier than their scheduled breakfast because I had to leave early in the morning. The property itself is beautiful inside and out. They provided, among other things, a bathrobe and a chocolate chip cookie, and it was things such as this that made my stay that much better. I will absolutely return here if I find myself back in the area.

This could possibly be the best place I have ever stayed at! It did not have the most up to date technology in the room but the service and amenities made up for it big time! The owners were great! They made breakfast ever morning, asking if anyone had dietary restrictions so that everyone could enjoy the food. They also had drinks and snacks out all day for their guests to enjoys, in addition they had a Keurig and hot water dispenser for tea or coffee. They had a mini fridge on the second story for guests to use. When we got there we had fresh baked cookies in our room. The only down side to the stat was the pillows; they had 2 down pillows and 2 extra firm pillows. The down pillows went flat and had no support; and the extra firm pillows didn't give at all and your neck would then be at an awkward angle. Pillows aside I loved staying here and would stay here again, and recommend staying here to all of my friends!

这是一个很老的house，现在是家庭宾馆。条件吗努力做到最好了！是在街的拐角，两面临马路，睡觉不好的人可能会感觉太嘈杂。卫生间需要走出自己的房间，虽然也是单独使用，但还是感觉不方便。花10刀可以简单早餐。喜欢热闹和家庭氛围的人可以考虑，还可以和不同的游客一起海阔天空。相比我们喜欢比较安静、私密一点的酒店。
