The Best Airbnbs in Philadelphia, From University City to the Italian Market

With its American history, world-class restaurants, and excellent museums, Philadelphia is worth more than a weekend trip. Here you can learn about the American Revolution at the home where Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag, and a visit to the Barnes Foundation is like stopping by your coolest friend’s sprawling home and art collection. With neighborhoods ranging from the cobblestone streets of Old City to the buzzy food scene of Fishtown, everyone will find a spot worthy of a repeat visit.

When considering where to stay, keep in mind that street parking, while available, can be tough to come by—especially in tourist-dense Old City and Center City. If you’re driving, consider booking an Airbnb with parking or reserve a spot in one of the city’s many lots. While the city’s hotel landscape is decidedly up-and-coming—most noteworthy are the views at the Four Seasons and the design-forward ethos of boutique hotel YOWIE—an Airbnb can offer more space and flexibility. Whether you’re looking to cozy up in a historic row home or spread out across a modern apartment with a group of your closest travel buddies, there’s a lovely Philadelphia Airbnb for you. Here are 11 of our favorites.
