14 Philadelphia Airbnbs near Rittenhouse Square, the Italian Market and Magic Gardens
Condé Nast Traveler has just published its roundup of the 14 best Airbnbs in Philadelphia, and the picks cluster around the neighborhoods travelers actually want to be in: Rittenhouse Square, the Italian Market, and Magic Gardens. Every listing was vetted on Superhost and Guest Favorite status, ratings, amenities, location, past guest reviews, and decor.
The editors split their favorites into three clear lanes. For sports fans, a South Philly flat with in-unit laundry sits a short walk from the Stadium District. Solo travelers get a Parisian-inspired studio near Museum Row, and families are pointed to a spot in the heart of the Italian Market.
Row homes, lofts and a slice of Paris
The Fishtown home with a private backyard is a three-level row house for two guests, with a coffee nook on the first floor, a light-filled workspace in the upstairs loft, and an outdoor space with a heater for chilly evenings. It's steps from Suraya's Lebanese cooking and the Mediterranean plates at Bastia.
If a game brings you to town, the boho South Philly row home sleeps four across two bedrooms and 2.5 baths in Lower Moyamensing, a short walk to Lincoln Financial Field. The 984-square-foot house has a finished basement and a galley kitchen, with East Passyunk's dining scene nearby.
Over in Northern Liberties, a 1,500-square-foot industrial loft offers exposed brick, hardwood floors, a private balcony, and a kitchen stocked with Chemex coffeemakers and a cocktail-ready bar cart. It sleeps four in a king and a queen bedroom.
The most charming pick may be the Parisian studio near Museum Row, minutes from the Barnes Foundation's Impressionists and the Rodin Museum. It has a queen bed, a windowside bistro table, and a teal kitchen with a bread maker. "It really was Paris in Philadelphia," one guest wrote.
The full list of 14 spans cozy row homes with hidden patios to design-driven lofts, all chosen to put you near Philly's murals, cheesesteaks, and under-the-radar food scene.
