    Great place! Nice to find one of the more affordable options in Philadelphia was also one of the best. The B & B had so much character and our room was very spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent for walking to many attractions and was in a lovely neighbourhood. Staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was generous - appreciated them starting a bit earlier than scheduled when we had to catch a flight.
