Notes from the host
Rittenhouse Square Bf
1955 is located close to Parc, Rouge, all things Rittenhouse, Walnut Streets, Locust Street, Market Street and much more. You’ll love the home because Rittenhouse is the premier area of Philadelphia, and you are located just 1 block form Rittenhouse Square park. Which features some of the best ice cream in the City and certainly the best restaurants and coffee houses, shopping and where major films are shot. Please note that this home is in the lower level of the building, although bright, and the home has a large window. In the home - people that do not like homes in the lower level should bear this information in mind
There is no elevator in the building, and you will have to go down just one flight of stairs. This building was renovated just 2 years ago and although we have kept all the architectural features of the home, we have included many modern conveniences, such as hard wood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Please also be aware that there's an HVAC engine sound that you might hear from the building across ours.
In order to honor your reservation with us, please answer the following questions:
1) What is the purpose of your stay?
2) Have you read our policies on no parties, and no smoking as well as house rules and no noise complaints? (**Please make sure to read through the listing, most importantly the house rules/policy for proper guidance. )
3) Do you agree with our terms?

Please note that we are unable to send your arrival instructions or allow entry until ALL 3 of these questions are answered.
