Lovely stay in cute townhouse with sweet back garden

Ivy's townhouse is charming and quiet, located on a side street where we were always able to find parking. The back garden is just lovely - we wished the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed it more. Super comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, and everything was clean and new. Highly recommended.

Return trip to Philly

This property has intermittently been our home away from home for the last few months as we come to visit our family member in the hospital at Philadelphia. It is a beautiful comfortable space in the perfect location. Now that it’s spring the outdoor space is a wonderful bonus! When not available we have also stayed at this owners other property which is also lovely.

great place to stay

We were in Philadelphia to support our daughter and grandbaby hospitalized at CHOP. It was a beautiful and comfortable environment to unwind at the end of the day and be together as a family. It was perfectly located, walkable to CHOP, Ronald McDonald House, grocery store and all other conveniences. Street parking was always available. Great communication with the host. We have already booked our next trip back in a few weeks.

Perfect

The place is beautiful and had everything we needed. The only thing I was unsure of was the check out procedure. Normally, it states what to do in the email, however the only check out procedure listed was to make sure the door was locked. Other then that, the stay was great!

Secret Garden

A truly convenient spot to U Penn. Very walkable. Close to great & diverse restaurants, a grocery store, coffee, etc. Beautiful clean space with lots of light and air. The backyard garden is a slice of heaven in a city filled with hustle and bustle. Ivy was very responsive and wonderful to communicate with. A fabulous home away from home.
