Holiday rentals with a fireplace in University City, Philadelphia

stay at his place only for one day to attend my daughter's graduation. Check in is easy, the house was clean, spotless and perfect for my group. Everything was labelled accordingly. Nothing to complain about. Will definitely stay at this place again and will recommend to friends.

We had a great stay at Kiryl's. Great location if you want to hop on the train for the airport and in a very safe neighborhood.

Jason is an excellent host and perfectly communicative. He provided great recommendations for local spots and was very helpful when a member of our party, who doesn't typically use Airbnb, arrived early. The home is ideal for a large group, featuring comfortable beds and minimal wait times for showers. Some construction across the street woke us up early, but that's beyond anyone's control. Additionally, it's worth noting that the cleaners do not leave many supplies readily accessible, so it's a good idea to bring extra detergent, soaps, and wipes if you prefer to keep things tidy during your stay.

Impeccably clean and well-appointed. Perfect for our trip to visit family close by. Close to churches, food, and shopping — whatever you need. Great neighborhood to walk and enjoy the area.

We had a very good stay. The house was the perfect size for our group of 8 and we found parking with no problems. The host was very responsive and helpful with anything we needed.

We love the charming Queen's Star so much that this was our fourth stay there! As always, it was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. We love that it is exceptionally clean and neat - just perfect! Ian and Beth are wonderful hosts, very responsive, welcoming and helpful in every way. The location is amazing - on a quiet street, and close to restaurants and shops. The Queen's Star is our favorite place to stay in Philadelphia and we can't wait till our next visit!

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful Philly apartment! It’s super clean, stylish, and well-appointed, but the hot tub really takes things to the next level—so relaxing after a day of exploring. Fair warning: there are a lot of stairs, so pack light and consider it your built-in workout! 😅 The location is unbeatable—quiet but close to everything. Definitely check out Café Lift just a 3-minute walk away for an incredible all-day brunch (the eggs benedict & lemon ricotta pancakes are chef’s kiss). Highly recommend this place for a cozy, elevated (literally!) Philly experience. Would absolutely stay again!

My family has come to love visiting Philly. Its really great to be able to stay in these new areas that we loved walking through on our previous visit to Philly. Duane's location allows for great walks with nothing to do and eye candy around every corner. If you're into historical sites and pretty architecture this location will be perfect for you. If you're into bars and nightlife a few blocks away is a great area. Plenty of restaurants to eat at and bars to drink at. Very happy with this location.

Place was valid. Felt like home. The host was very clear cut with instructions and directions.

Loved our stay here during the Metallica concerts! The place was spotlessly clean and beautifully designed inside. The bed was very big and super comfortable—way better than an $800 hotel night, especially with a backyard to smoke, which is hard to find. The host was amazing—provided free slippers and a full bottle of wine, plus allowed a late check-out and an extra day, which was a big plus. The neighborhood is high-crime, but the police station on the corner kept us feeling safe, and all the neighbors seemed nice. A $12 Lyft to Center City Rittenhouse Square was convenient. Highly recommend for a great Philly trip!

J's place was spacious, bright and airy, 4 minute walk to the train that took us directly to City Hall-within a few minutes to Ritten House Sq. Fishtown has cute bars and restaurants in walking distance as well.

It was a great stay, beautiful inside and out. Looking forward to my next stay...a whole Vibe!!

Diamond's apartment was extremely comfortable. True to the description and the amenities listed. Definitely worth what I paid in comparison to a hotel downtown. The unit is a short Uber ride to the Temple University Septa station. I Outside of that, the area was not really walkable or had sit-down eats nearby. Would stay again!

I enjoyed staying at William's place. Upon calling him, he was very friendly and responsive. He was able to assist with the check in process. The listing itself is very nice. It was clean and made me feel comfortable. Overall, I had a great experience!

Place was homey and clean. The host was incredibly responsive!

We enjoyed staying at Gabe's place. The lack of parking was a concern for us going in, but we were able to find convenient options less than a 3 minute walk from the home throughout our stay. The home is well decorated with a beautiful shower.
