First time staying here and the host were very responsive and even gave us many options on what to do in the area. It’s 10/10 the city is 14 mins away by taking the trolley, there’s many parks near by. Check in was at 1 pm and our host texted us and let us check in early we dropped off our bags parked our car on the property and got our adventure started.
Extremely friendly and communicative owner. The house is charming and breakfast was delicious. Conveniently located across the street from a trolly stop and has off street parking.
The staff was excellent, we were also close to the trolley line and the owners gave us excellent directions for our sightseeing adventures. Breakfast was super.
We loved our stay here! Annette and her son were gracious and friendly, the property is lovely and we slept like babies in our clean, super comfortable room. We would love to stay here again, thank you for your hospitality!
We loved staying at the Gables bed-and-breakfast in Philadelphia. Everybody was so nice, the house was beautiful, our room was awesome and comfortable, and the breakfast was out of this world. We would love to come back one day!
The B&B itself is a large and unique Victorian that has been beautifully restored, furnished and maintained. The proprietors are exceptionally hospitable and helpful and we had a wonderful time staying with them. Our room -- The Victorian -- was great with its canopied bed and separate sitting room. The breakfasts were enormous and delicious and the location was perfect for us. We would love to go back again.
