Great location for attending a concert at the Mann in Fairmount park. We were able to walk to the concert in about 15 - 20 mins and really enjoyed our stay.
The rooms were all really clean and the checkin process was really easy.

This was a very price-conscious, clean, safe place to stay while we visited colleges in the area. There is street parking and it's perfectly safe. The wifi is fast and free. The security is excellent. The owner is really lovely and goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for your stay!

Quaint BnB with an amazing host
Don't let the reviews keep you away from this diamond in the rough. It is a quaint BnB in an historic district minutes from The Mann. Yin is an excellent host and made sure all of our needs were met and even offered fresh breakfast each morning. It was very clean. We enjoyed out stay and will be booking here again!
