Kid-friendly holiday rentals in University City, Philadelphia

Allison & Timothy are exceptional hosts. They gave precise instructions which are easy to follow. Their place is super clean and very nice. They responded to our messages usually within minutes if not immediately. The neighborhood is also very nice with friendly neighbors too. Highly recommended!

The studio was everything as advertised and more. The host thought of every possible detail. There was a snack basket, plenty of towels, a fully stocked kitchen, nice comfortable bed, washer:dryer and more. Anything you need the studio is equipped with. My stay was perfect.

Super great place to stay! The best stocked kitchen of any Airbnb that I have stayed in-and I’ve stayed in many. The street is quiet and the neighborhood is fun to walk in. It is easy to walk from the house to downtown Philadelphia and very close to the museums and the parkway. The hosts are attentive and easy to get ahold of. Oh, also nice to have a washer, dryer and ironing board-we were in town for a wedding:)

Marcia is such a lovely and kind host, very responsive, flexible and helpful. And her large turn-of-the century house in an historic neighborhood is pretty special. This was the first time I had stayed in an owner-occupied Airbnb and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a memorable experience. Marcia was friendly and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable and at-home while staying with her (and her sweet cat, Oscar). I would definitely stay again.

We really loved this air b and b… Communication was excellent with the owners and information was clear. Check in was easy. The space itself is really great. There is a massive window as seen in the pictures that is remarkable and lets in amazing light. We had plenty of room and the rooms were well appointed. We enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony on the 3rd floor. The master bedroom and bath were clean and spacious. The location was good for us as we were in town for a graduation. We would come back and stay here in a heart beat!

I had a wonderful stay at Lorenas place. I slept great and had everything I need. Lorena is so kind and responsive. And the house is beautiful and comfortable. I’ll stay there again for sure!

Been coming here for a few months for work trips. Always a pleasure to stay here. Dalia goes above and beyond to help you with your stay and make it comfortable. Would be back, thanks Dalia!!

Very homey in a quiet neighborhood. Full kitchen made it very easy to cook. Comfortable rooms. Spacious and airy. Good WiFi. It was a perfect stay for myself, my kid and my dog. Decent street parking. It was perfect. Highly recommend.

My first-time Philly visit. The location is perfect, a lot of restaurants and bars around and walkable to some sightseeings. The bedroom is quiet and the apartment is also very clean. The host is very proactive to communicate. In summary, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place if your goal is to find a walkable and clean place around with restaurants and bars.

Very nice place inside. Well furnished with modern decor. Also very convenient to U of Penn and Center City. Guests should realize that this is in West Philly. If you are not comfortable in that environment then you should consider paying for a more expensive place in a more upscale neighborhood.

Great stay! Accurate description, nice shower, convenient location.

This place was nice. The bed was very comfortable. Internet worked well. Couch was comfortable. Bathroom was nicely updated. Good location. I’d happily stay there again.

The place is great! My family were staying in this place for commencement. They were very happy about it.

Great space. On bus line. Parking is a bonus. Responsible host. Would return.

Vincent's place was exactly as described, clean, and perfect for a quick trip to Philly! Vincent was flexible and easy to communicate with.

Super clean and matched photos! Comfy bed. Great walkable location.

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

If you are looking for a good central location, that’s the perfect choice. The beautiful apartement is like a 5 star hotel. It looks very luxurious, the bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the whole apartement is spotlessly clean. You can also find several parking options for a good price if you arrive by car. I will definitely book again if I’m visiting Philly.

Great place to stay, looks just like the photos, and is a great feel for the space. Water didn't get as hot as I would like but still gets to a nice temperature. If getting there later in the day, plan to look for parking as it is all street parking. Availability for parking was within a block or so, which was fine. Overall great night's stay!

For being my first Airbnb stay I was very satisfied with this place! Looks just like the photos and much beautiful feel in person. It felt like I was coming and going as if I was at my own apartment building that’s how great the host instructions was very simple self explanatory. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Christina’s place was great! All-around very pleasant experience. Thanks again!

Danni's place offered a relaxing stay for my family of four (including toddler & infant). Her responsiveness before & during the trip was greatly appreciated, as were her clear instructions & city guide. The home offers up multiple places to congregate after a day of touring the city -- the rooftop in particular was lovely even if the weather didn't cooperate. The kitchen was functional and came with a nice welcome basket that my children loved. I also really appreciated the baby items -- gates for the staircases, all outlets covered, toys, a crib, pack n' play, and baby bath. These amenities made it an easy decision to forgo a hotel and made our packing a bit easier too! Fairmount is a walkable neighborhood with plenty of food & coffee options, as well as on-street parking. Hope to visit again soon!

Very clean apartment with plenty of space. Kitchen, living room, beds and bath are all really nice. Our host Bin is friendly and responsive. Groceries store and coffee shops are <5 minute walk. A very short commute to city center by buses/subway with lots of things to do. We really enjoyed our stay here.

My parents had a great stay at Clarissa’s place! She was very responsive and provided clear, detailed instructions that made check-in and check-out super easy. The space itself was clean, bright, and well-kept…exactly as described. It was also in a fantastic location, within walking distance of many major tourist attractions in Philly. Getting around was really convenient. Would definitely recommend staying here!
