When I was transitioning between jobs I had an awkward 1 month that I needed a place to stay, and this turned out to be perfect! It came furnished with all basic needs and in a safe and convenient location. It was a lifesaver for me because it's nearly impossible to find decent short term leases in the area...definitely preferable... More

Stayed for a month at Anam Cara when we were otherwise homeless. Excellent experience! It was the hottest summer on record in Philadelphia, but the trusty window air-conditioner kept us cool day and night. The place is comfortable, convenient, and well-kept. A nice homey feeling to it. Excellent value. Wifi is a BIG plus. Teresa the owner is attentive and... More

We stayed in the 2 bedroom apt. Anam Cara was perfect. Fully furnished, with wireless internet and cable. The kitchen was very... More

I stayed in Apt. 3 for 2 months while attending graduate school. It’s a GREAT apartment and the landlord is wonderful. Parking is free and easy (right in front of the apartment). Chestnut Hill’s beautiful Germantown Avenue with its restaurants, banks, a pharmacy, farmer’s markets, grocery stores and great shops are within easy walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet and... More

I stayed at Anam Cara during April and May 2011. I was in the studio apartment, which comprises a combined living room and bedroom, with a breakfast/dining room adjoining and kitchen (fully equipped with microwave, toaster, food blender, pots, pans, etc). The location is superb, with a choice of two train lines, and a bus service. Chestnut Hill is a... More

The apartment is very good even though the building is old. I really liked the service on two counts. 1. The owner gave me a 3 hour extension at no extra cost when I told her that I have a 20 hour flight back home. She rescheduled the appointment of lady who was to clean the apartment. 2. I was... More
