The Inn Between B&B is an urban retreat of relaxed elegance in historic University City. We cherish a casual traveler and specialize in longer term stays. With its original layout, numerous period details and antiques this Victorian residence still provides a fair glimpse into the life of bygone eras. Overall ambiance is harmonized with oriental and modern collectible pieces while the amenities are modern [wireless throughout] and geared towards meeting the guest's individual needs. To remind, these are romantic and romantically inclined spaces! The property is located within walking distance from the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Left Bank Medical facilities and it is just a short ride away from downtown Philadelphia with the Convention Center, Penns Landing, Old City, Rittenhouse Square, etc. A personal collection of antique rugs, textiles, various ethnic and fine arts is displayed throughout the residence. It is all about understanding and cherishing 'in betweens' - cultural, professional, stylistic, and personal - about understanding the journey.

5 out of 5Lovely home - keep coming back
May 11, 2013
A lovely B&B in one of Philadelphia's great neighborhoods. Historic residence, beautifully built and decorated, with dark wood and stained glass doors and trim. Ana is a charming host. She is also an architect and always has interesting guests. Close to the universities and downtown, on a beautiful street with bistros, restaurants, and great shops nearby. I have been here many times and keep coming back.

November 19, 2008
Kimonos on the walls, carved woodwork, 1906 Victorian interior made this a fascinating place. The proprieter has European flair and wonderful conversation as a professor of architecture. Continental breakfast of crepe and dry cereal with fruit. 20 minutes by trolley or bus to downtown.
3.0 out of 5General remarks
August 25, 2008
Miss Ana is a very good and gentle person, the house is beautiful but the B&B prices (for all B&B I tried - e.g. Boston - not only for this) are too high: in Staten Island and in Washington I found hotels more beautiful and comfortable with lower prices!!! In UK I found B&B in similar houses (in terms of fashion, age and services) with a better price!
5 out of 5Great stay for conference goer
May 07, 2007
I attended a conference at the Convention Center and intitially worried about the distance and conections which prove to be closer than expected and easier then expected. Everything in the InnBetween was delightful and I enjoyed the company of other guests as another of unexpected extras.

3.2 out of 5a good find at the price
April 28, 2007
This suited my convenience very well and Ana was extremely helpful. Public transport links are good. This is very unlike an English B&B and the antique nature of the house was interesting. They are considering putting locks on the bedrooms.
4.8 out of 5tasteful and peaceful
April 06, 2007
I wish I could have stayed here longer. I was a visiting scholar and needed to spend a few days in the archives of Penn. This B & B provided a very tasteful and peaceful environment that allowed me to recenter my thoughts at the end of rigorous days of searching through records. The sensual interiors and the natural materials of this turn of the century house gives one the opportunity to get away from the synthetic world most of us are surrounded with these days. It is a safe and pleasent ten minute walk from the University of Pennsylvania campus. Downtown takes another 20 minutes or can be reached conveniently by public transportation. In addition, the Innkeeper is very helpful and knowledgable both about the University and the goings on in town. I would highly recommend the experience.
3.0 out of 5Pleasant stay
March 01, 2007
We had a pleasant weekend stay. The neighborhood is nice, the inn is convenient to visiting nearby college students and the house is a an old but ornate and well decorated place. We enjoyed conversation with Ana and her two friendly cats over a leisurely breakfast.
