Furnished with superb Victorian antiques, both the Penthouse and the Pied-a-Terre are perfect for a family vacation to San Francisco or the Wine Country, just as perfect for a family reunion, wedding guest accommodations, or and of course, it's perfect for the wedding photos! The Penthouse (an 8-room, 2,000 square foot 2-story flat) can be combined with the Jewel-Box Garden Flat, (a 4-room, 1,000 square-foot garden flat) and the Petite Pied-a-Terre (a jr. one-bedroom flat) to sleep as many as 14 people.

| Testimonials |
|
Phoebe (my three-year-old daughter) was worn out
after an all-day family excursion to San Francisco.
"Mommy," she said, "I want to go home." "Oh,
honey," I said. "We're here for four more days."
"I don't mean Philadelphia, Mommy," Phoebe said.
"I mean home." That's how it feels when you stay at
the Victorian mansion -- it feels like home. We loved
it. Monica D., Philadelphia.
