We had a very nice stay at the Gables for a couple days. Grand old Victorian building, beautiful wood flooring, staircases, tastefully decorated with old and antique furniture. Nice neighborhood. The host family is extremely welcoming and attentive, and breakfast in the dining room was a treat.

Very cozy and homey location. If you want a hotel experience, this is not for you. Breakfast is served in a large dining table where everyone sits and chats. This is an old house built in the 1800s with about 10 bedrooms. It was very quiet at night. Breakfast was delicious and home cooked. Bed was comfortable. Convenient 15 min walk to UPenn. I would come back here.

We stayed in this property for two nights. Owner and staff were very helpful and hospitable. Beautifully restored building, lovely room on third floor. It had a few quirks of a two hundred year old building like uneven floors and no elevator but otherwise very comfortable. Room was furnished with period accurate furniture. We had two lovely breakfasts. Lots of dining options in 10 minutes of walking. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
