Taryn's place is a perfect combination of beautiful design and traveler comfort. There are many thoughtful touches through out the house that make it easy to show up there and be comfortable -- like two suitcase stands in the master bedroom, plenty of really nice towels, and a cozy throw on the living room sofa. The Fishtown location puts you close to many fun restaurants and bars as well as a short walk from SEPTA, which will take you all over the city. And Taryn is a responsive and helpful host. Note that the bedrooms are up a fairly steep staircase, which might not be comfortable for everyone. As long as that works for you, I highly recommend that you choose to stay at Taryn's house.
