My spacious Victorian house is located on an historic street with many trees. The atmosphere in my house is friendly and calm. The house has a lovely garden, the kitchen has all the needed pots and pans, dishes, etc. and there is a clothes washing machine and dryer here.
The house is very near public transportation to the center of Philadelphia (about 20 minutes away) and near a five mile public park where people hike, jog and ride mountain bikes. Several universities, including Drexel University Medical School, Chestnut Hill College and La Salle University, are nearby.
I look forward to hosting you.

My stay at Claudia’s place was truly exceptional. Situated in close proximity to the train station, which proved incredibly convenient for commuting to the city center, and surrounded by numerous bus stops, the location couldn't have been more ideal. Nestled in a safe and quiet neighborhood, Claudia's home is impeccably maintained and fully equipped with all the amenities one could possibly need.
But what truly sets Claudia apart is her unmatched hospitality and genuine kindness. From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. Not only did she pick me up from the bus station upon my arrival, but she also took the time to accompany me to the bus stop on my way to the hospital on my first day, easing any apprehensions I had about navigating the area.
Over the course of my four-week stay, Claudia seamlessly transitioned from host to friend. We shared stories, laughter, and even a few home-cooked meals together, forging a bond that I know will endure beyond my time in Philadelphia.
I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Claudia’s place, especially for those navigating the bustling city for the first time or juggling the demands of work or studies. Her genuine warmth and hospitality make you feel right at home from the moment you walk through the door, offering a comforting refuge amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. Trust me, you won't find a better host or a more welcoming home away from home.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
