Lonely Planet Review

Run from a lovely comfortable house, this informal B&B offers heaps of character to a regular crowd of return guests. Many rooms have shared baths. Barbara Pope is the friendly no-nonsense host; if she has no vacancies, she'll help you book rooms at other B&Bs. Discounts are available for longer stays.

The cluttered, almost ramshackle rooms of this casual B&B give it a lived-in, homely feel. The old row house comes with bohemian flair, worn chests, patchwork quilts and an assortment of furniture from many periods and price tags. One of Philadelphia's longest running B&Bs, it has both simple rooms with shared baths, and larger suites with private baths (generally tiny) and kitchens, at least one of which is a low-ceilinged affair accessed by descending an excitingly steep spiral staircase.
