There are 2 units with the bigger one being upstairs. If you have mobility issues, be warned. The steps are steep. My family wouldn't let me try to climb them so my husband and i stayed in the downstairs unit. Bith units are lovely, with modern kitchens, but unit 1 is much smaller. We had a great time in Philly and were comfortable in this home. ##### Shannon W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert H. 18 May 2025 ##### Robert H.
