3.6 out of 5A Quaint Stay
April 13, 2013
It was exactly what I expected, a good place to rest your head in Philly. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and a very nice lady who owns the place dotes on you. Breakfast the next morning was great, a pancake muffin with blueberries inside, bacon and fruit. Relatively close to both UPenn and the other parts of town worth visiting.
4.8 out of 5Super Handy to UPenn

Just a short walk over the South St. Bridge and you are right in the heart of the UPenn campus and hospitals. Host Chelle is a well-traveled and interesting person who loves to cook. She even catered her gourmet breakfast to my vegetarian tastes. A short but enjoyable stay.

The staff here was SO understanding when my travel plans had to change at the last minute due to Sandy -- I can't express how grateful I am and will of course look here first when booking Philadelphia travel in the future.

You're in the middle of a big city, you're in Chelle's home, and she makes you feel SO welcome. It's extremely convenient to the U of Penn (and Drexel and the medical complex in University City) and the price really can't be beat (for the location). And Chelle makes scrumptious breakfasts that don't weigh you down. We intend to stay there whenever we visit our son while he's in college.

Breakfast prepared by the friendly host was excellent and creative. The room was nice but not yet fully furbished; there was no table or desk in it. This will be remedied in the future, I heard.

A charming B&B in an easy to find location. Very comfortable beds and wonderful breakfast delights. All accommodation has a high standard. Helpful hostess.

July 26, 2012
We arrived way later than expected and Chelle was more than understanding. She is an excellent cook and more than willing to help and make suggestions on our sight seeing adventures. Chelle made us feel right at home it was awesome!
