The space
Built in the early 1800s, this stone-front trinity is close to bustling Main Street in Manayunk. A trinity is unique to Philadelphia but means a three-story house with a room on each floor.

**Please make sure you are comfortable negotiating winding stairways.**

The house is cozy and perfect for a single person or one or two couples.
The house is small in scale but is outfitted with everything you need.

There is a kitchen, living room, and dining area on the first floor. Stairs to the basement lead to the washer and dryer. There is a small patio in the back with chairs.
The second floor has a bedroom with a closet and a full bath. The hall closet is a supply closet and is locked.
The third floor has a bedroom with a full-sized bed.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with Heather about bringing your pet.
Guest access
Saint Davids Cottage is located in Manayunk, a Philadelphia neighborhood treasure.

The easiest arrival is by train from 30th Street Station in Philadelphia on the Septa Norristown line. From the Manayunk station, it's a three-minute walk to the cottage.

Arrival by car, safely stop in the street, and unload your bags at the door. There is free street parking and a free unpaved parking lot two blocks away.
Pay close attention to posted parking signs and street stripes.
Other things to note
The stairs are the original, old-fashioned spiral stairs. While they are in excellent condition, they can be intimidating.
Toting large suitcases up the stairs are not advised; travel light.

Please be sure this is a good fit for you before booking the cottage.

There are fireplaces on the first and second floors. They are both permanently closed and in operable.
Please do not attempt to build a fire in either location.
The fireplace in the living room has an electric heater and fireplace. You are welcome to enjoy the electric fireplace unit. It has the look and feel of a real fire.

Great spot.
Perfect for us. Allowed us the room to put our baby in his own room for bedtime. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

We weren’t able to spend much time at the property, but from what we saw the property is lovely. The host was very accommodating and responsive. Be aware that the roads are very narrow in Manayunk. We learned from experience that navigating the streets in a minivan was simply not going to happen without your car playing bumper cars in with the cars of the locals.

Teeny Tiny Apartment w/ Deadly Staircase
It's not that the photos are inaccurate, they are just misleading. The site claims there is 1+1/2 bath - false. The stairs are literally carved out of the wall and treacherous to navigate. Getting luggage to the 3rd floor was a death defying feat. The only "living space" was the tiny front room. Fortunately we were "out" all day & basically only slept there. We were very disappointed and would not recommend.

All the comforts of home!
We had a great stay at the cottage. It was beautifully decorated, fully stocked with kitchen appliances/cookware, the beds/sheets were very comfortable, and the ease of communication with the owner was great. We would definitely come back!
