The 20 Coolest & Best Airbnbs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Planning a trip through Pennsylvania or weekend getaway and searching for the best Airbnbs in Philadelphia?  Well, look no further, because I’ve put together the ultimate Airbnb Philadelphia guide for the best places to stay, unique lofts, budget-friendly apartments, and romantic rooftop views! 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is the City of Brotherly Love (which is a translation from the Greek root of the word). Its place in American history is unequaled, being the home of the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell .  It is also the city where activists mobilized to combat the arrival of the AIDS epidemic, which saved millions of lives. It’s no wonder that with all this history, “Philly” is a city of monuments, museums, and homages to the ideals of liberty and freedom! 

Each year, visitors flock to see these symbols of American spirit (even to run up the famous Museum steps as Rocky Balboa did). The center city is where it all happens, and it’s here that apartments are offered in buildings both new and old, and each with their own charms.  Many can be found and booked via Airbnb, and we’ve found some of the best, the prettiest and the most well-positioned for you. With one of these, you should be able to enjoy Philly at its finest!

Location: Rittenhouse, Center City

Recent Reviews in Philadelphia

Captain Brian was AMAZING. He was so generous and kind with our guests. The boat was beautiful and very clean. He even trailered his boat and brought it to the location where our event was taking place. He worked non-stop for 5 hours giving boat tours of our reservoir to over 150 people. Our guests had a wonderful time and the boat ride was a highlight. We would definitely use Captain Brian again.

Brian was a great caption! I booked this to celebrate my mother’s birthday and we all had a blast. 10/10 recommend!

We had a great time. Barry and Dave were a great crew and kept us safe while providing interesting pieces of information throughout our trip! Thank you!

Great tour, very friendly service. Great escape from the city for a relaxing time and some learning too! Highly recommend and would do it again!

Amazing experience! My friends and I had the perfect day. Will be back regularly.

This was an awesome experience for our 12th anniversary!!! #SmoothSailing

Ben Franklin Yacht

I took my mom on the Sunday afternoon cruise. She loved it so much we are going back ASAP.. The appetizers were good. The whole experience was wonderful! Food, music, water and sunshine. What more could you ask for?

We had an amazing time! The staff was top-notch! We had the best time! Music, Food, Fireworks, GREAT views, and being on the water to top it off. What more could you ask for! Oh, did I mention the price so worth every penny! Can not wait to do this again! Highly recommend!

Amazing staff! They made our voyage so much fun. My party of 10 had an awesome time and the fireworks made it even better. The two lower decks were air conditioned and the top deck was open to feel the wonderful breeze. I would recommend booking a trip! We loved it.

Best night out in Philly! The boat is nice and spacious, crew and captain attentive and kind. Everything went perfectly. I loved the DJ and had a blast dancing and enjoying the open bar. The food was incredible and tasted so good. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Your guide to Philadelphia

All about philadelphia.

Philadelphia is the birthplace of The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, and you can experience the special place it holds in history at numerous sites around town. Visit Independence Hall, where those important documents were crafted, and the Betsy Ross House, where the seamstress is said to have sewed the first American Flag. You can also explore the city’s rich past at places like Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the nation, and Congress Hall, the original meeting place of congress before Washington, D.C. Philadelphia was also the first city to build a museum dedicated to the life and work of African Americans, The African American Museum in Philadelphia, while The Colored Girls Museum in Germantown displays artwork and tells the history of Black women and girls.

Towering skyscrapers along the Delaware River waterfront dominate downtown Philadelphia’s skyline. The city’s ultra-modern city center hosts the Avenue of the Arts, with numerous performing arts institutions, galleries, and a Walk of Fame canonizing musicians who’ve contributed to the city’s reputation as a music destination. You’ll find a thriving nightlife scene in Philadelphia rife with trendy bars and clubs adjacent to cultural sites like the Philadelphia Museum of Art and its iconic grand staircase — where there’s a statue of a boxer from a famous movie filmed here.

Between visiting museums and historical sites — and enjoying some of the city’s many green spaces — opportunities for culinary delights abound. Award-winning restaurants, beer gardens, and late-night corner shops selling the city’s famous cheesesteak sandwiches rub shoulders throughout the modern and historically celebrated city.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is a city that experiences four distinct seasons, with wide-ranging temperatures and weather conditions accompanying each of them. Pink cherry blossoms bloom in the spring, and warm temperatures make this the perfect time to head outside to the local parks or to take a walking tour of Philadelphia’s many historical landmarks. The pleasant weather runs well into the fall, when amber and sepia tones dominate the cityscape. Winters tend to be fairly quiet, with chilly temperatures that hover just above freezing, along with the occasional snowfall.

Get your vacation rental in Philadelphia in the summer for events such as the folk music festival which brings together internationally renowned and regional acts for a weekend of festivities and live music in August, or the city’s famed Fourth of July celebration, which sees crowds gathered on the banks of the Delaware River for a fireworks display over the water.

Top things to do in Philadelphia

Bartram’s garden.

Founded in 1728, Bartram’s Garden is the oldest botanical garden in North America. It is so old, in fact, that it was started by the personal botanist of King George III, from whom America won its independence. This 50-acre public garden in southwest Philadelphia has riverfront walking paths, a medicinal plant display, and the oldest living Ginkgo Tree on the continent. Plaques and educational centers throughout the grounds provide botanical and ecological lessons on the native flora found in the gardens.

Independence Hall

In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed in the Georgian-style Independence Hall, cementing the United States as an autonomous nation. It was also here in this hall that the first drafting of the U.S. Constitution took place. Tour the UNESCO World Heritage Site with its red brick façade and ornate clock adornments for a firsthand look at the iconic Liberty Bell and a visit to the Assembly Room, the very site that saw the birth of America.

Reading Terminal Market

Set underground beneath an old railway station, the Reading Terminal Market hosts a brilliant display of fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and artisanal goods for purchase from over 80 vendors. The industrial and neon aesthetic makes for a lively and unique stop to stock up on food for your Philadelphia vacation home or to enjoy a meal from one of the dozen restaurants and open-air eateries located here.
