Holiday rentals with a patio in University City, Philadelphia

Patricia was a delight to communicate with! The basement apartment was a perfect choice for my son and I to share a three day trip for his 13th birthday celebration. We went to a Phillies game, toured the city, and spent a day out at the Jersey Shore. This location was perfect home base for us. It was so much nicer than a hotel room IMO, and I enjoyed coffee in the back yard garden each morning. Everything was so nicely furnished, stocked and ready for us when we arrived. Patricia truly exceeded expectations. Thanks for making a memorable father/son trip even better!

What a great place to stay! It was within walking distance of several amazing restaurants and only a ten minute drive to the zoo and the Franklin institute and the fairmint park. We were a family of four with two littles and they enjoyed the toys downstairs as well as the books. The place was very clean and there were tons of helpful amenities - including kitchen supplies. The spacious living/dining room/ kitchen made it easy to watch the kids while we did other things. The beds were very comfortable, the showers had great water pressure, and the body wash/ shampoo/ conditioner smelled amazing. The absolute best part was the check out instructions, which asked us to simply turn everything off and lock the door when leaving. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this place to others.

Elaine was a great host - responsive and friendly. Found the neighborhood to be safe and walkable. Decent street parking.

Great location if you want to stay in close proximity to airport. Place is small, but great for just 2 people. Her directions to the place were great, I was able to find it quickly and I loved that I was able to park right outside the door.

HI had a wonderful stay at Rob and Amanda's place. The apartment is clean, full of light and spacious with a wall equipped kitchen and easy to use washer/dryer. I love the little nook on the second floor with a hanging basket chair, next to the window and a stack of travel books. Great place to start the day with a cup of coffee. I was in town to see my daughter and to work. The kitchen table was perfect for working and Main Street of Manayunk is a 10 minute walk-great place for food and strolling along I spent part of one evening sitting outside listening to some live music. There is a nice canal trail parallel to Main Street - nice for running, biking or walking. Manayunk is hilly and the apartment is up a pretty steep set of stairs. I had no problem with the stairs and enjoyed being up off the road. I found the apartment quiet and extremely peaceful.

The place was great! It was very clean, and spacious and having roof access was a plus. The host responded to any matters in a timely manner and was very helpful. If I ever need to stay in Philadelphia again I will definitely be back!

This is a nice place for two people for a weekend or long weekend. Black out curtains in the bedroom and bathroom would have helped us sleep a little better.

Very comfortable and great location. It was an easy walk to train station and lots of great restaurants nearby. Host was very friendly and helpful. Washer and drier and nice and big too!

This home was beautiful! The listing was accurate and it was easy to find and had all the amenities you'd need. I wish that I had booked it for more than one night. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Renaud even had it decorated to celebrate my daughter's graduation which made all of us smile after a long day of travel. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in--and my home bed is pretty comfortable so that's hard to beat. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to find, which is great in an Airbnb. Free parking was very appreciated and easy to find right out front of the door. I will definitely stay in this location if I need a peaceful clean place just outside of the busy city of Philly.

Ryan’s place was perfect- great location, clean and updated, plenty of space, our kids LOVED the rooftop area- very cool! Thank you for everything.

Incredible spot in Philadelphia's Italian Market. Place was perfect for me and two of my buddies to take in a weekend in Philly. Close to incredible food spots and easy to navigate and walk to historical sites in Philly and several bars, restaurants, and shops. Keith recommended we go to the Italian Market Festival that was happening that weekend and several other spots to check out, and his recommendations did not disappoint!

We haven’t been back to Philly in over 10 years! It was nice to have a safe, clean and easily accessible place to stay. The stairs were a bit of a challenge after walking all day, but I knew that when I booked it! Just letting others know. I apperciated all of communication and help from the hosts. If I ever come back to the city, I would stay here again 100%!

Large house in a lovely, quiet setting. Master suite (with walk-in closet and jetted tub) with two bedrooms upstairs. Large, comfortable couch with big tv for movie nights with the whole family. Loved being able to walk two houses over to the entrance to Kent Park, a very peaceful park with a stream and trails and lots of birds. Very quiet, beautiful setting! Plenty of thought for young kids here, with high chair and crib available, as well as large room for somersaulting and a yard to explore. Thanks for a nice stay!

I stayed here for my birthday and got to enjoy a lot of Philly without having to travel far. The house is really nice and even the outside has its own charm. Everything about it was nice thank you Angela for letting us stay!!

My group and I enjoyed Karena’s home. It was very clean and looked as described. There was more than enough space for a large group and plenty of toiletries and towels for everyone. She was responsive upon arrival and very helpful. Plenty of street parking. Would book again.

Nice house for a big group and priced well! Great location near Penn.

Beautiful place! Sunlight throughout. Easy parking. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great Stay in Philly! Natasha’s condo was a wonderful place to stay during our trip to Philadelphia! The space was very clean, modern, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable visit. We did run into a small issue with the ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms, and Natasha actually messaged me asking when she could come by to fix it — I didn’t see the message until the day before we left, so that was completely on me. I really appreciated how proactive she was about it. We also had an issue with the door lock, but Natasha came out right away to replace the battery. She was very responsive and made sure we were taken care of. Overall, a great experience and I would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Philly!

Excellent location. Really convenient with super strong WiFi. Such a cool neighborhood and for that reason parking can be a little tough at night. Just plan for that.

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely perfect in every way. The home was exactly like the photos—actually, even more stunning in person. It had everything we needed and more, with thoughtful touches throughout that made us feel completely at home. The house was impeccably clean—truly one of the most pristine and well-maintained Airbnbs we've ever stayed in. Every detail was taken care of, and it was clear the hosts take great pride in offering a top-tier experience. Speaking of the hosts, they were outstanding: incredibly responsive, kind, helpful, and genuinely caring. From start to finish, their communication and hospitality were flawless. We had a perfect experience and are already looking forward to staying here again the next time we visit. Highly, highly recommended!

Great and very clean home modern look inside. Exactly as advertised. Bathroom was the highlight of the whole place.

Erica’s place is like being at home. The host are so kind & respectful. I loved the stocked kitchen , the cozy fire place , and the local recommendations that Erica added in the guest manual. I’m in love with the place as a whole , it’s very convenient & any questions I had Erica responded quickly ! 10/10 !

This was my second stay at Hala's in as many weeks. Just as wonderful as the first time! See my review from last week, nothing has changed, still excellent!

This is my second time staying in this apartment and it was just as great as I remembered. Really nice well stocked kitchen as far as cooking materials go and appliances. Also, very comfortable bed, and it’s a nice quiet place with secure parking. Highly recommend and will probably stay there again.
