Great B&B
Great stay. Owners were super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing. Hosts offered to make French toast for my nephew after he finished his meal. I joined in on that and it was amazing. On trolley line. Stop is basically in front of B&B. Quiet neighborhood. Definitely stay there next time in Philly.
