The location is good as we use public transportation, such as buses, and there are several routes nearby (bus stops within easy walking distance) and not long to wait for the bus. We took buses to the museums, mainly. We liked the historic building, built in 1875, with all the architecturual features from then (wood, stained glass, fireplace surround, etc). but definitely appreciated the modernized bathroom with loads of hot water in the shower.
United States of AmericaJust a perfect example of a Victorian home! Comfortable and homey. Delicious breakfast and just the most genuine, warm host and hostess I’ve maybe ever met!!
United States of AmericaThe house host are friendly, you feel relaxed, and the food is wonderful. You have access to tea and snacks as well.
United States of AmericaLoved the wonderful breakfast, compliments to the chef. And, as a coffee snob, I have to say the coffee was up to my exacting standards.
United States of AmericaThe breakfasts were fresh served gourmet! Delicious! Everything was in walking distance or just a quick Uber ride away. The charm and history was over the top fantastic! Eric and Jill are the perfect hosts!
United States of AmericaHad very warm greeting and interactions with the Owners the entire time. Was very impressed with everything! Absolutely beautiful property, inside and out..... and excellent location to all of Phili's finest.
United States of AmericaEverything was amazing. The hosts were superb. Excellent service. Definitely plan to go back, but this time not for business.
United States of AmericaBeautifully restored 1870 Victorian home in prime location within walking distance of Philadelphia Arts District and Drexel University, with wonderfully gracious hosts who did everything right, and socialized with guests, addresses every concern immediately, in probably the best B&B I've ever stayed. We had 2 bedroom Continental Suite which were perfect for my wife, each with a separate room and bed. The entire B&B is filled with historic pieces and more eye candy that there's enough time to see. Breakfast daily was always a surprise as Eric loved creating dishes to surprise us with, working in harmony with his beautiful wife Jill. The young couple are completely committed to doing everything right and making sure customers' stays are perfect. The warm, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies made for a great reception treat and ice, lemonade, tea, coffee, and biscotti were available throughout the day.
United States of AmericaFriendliness of owners, breakfast, help, cleanliness and location amongst beautiful trees. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
United States of AmericaThank you so much for taking care of my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. They loved your B and B!

Cornerstone B&B
Built in 1870 as a private residence before being converted to a bed and breakfast, we have retained much of the building's original appearance while modernizing our rooms and suites to meet our guest’s contemporary needs. Our home’s elegant carpentry, original hardwood flooring, and ornate stained glass windows recall all the appeal of a simpler time, yet we are conveniently located near a thriving downtown,
The Cornerstone Bed and Breakfast has been a family run operation since 2008. Eric & Jill Pfaff-Moody are the new owners and are excited to bring modern comfort to this historic home!
The bustling heart of West Philadelphia and the academic epicenter of the entire region, University City is so named due to two of the largest and most influential institutions in town: the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. But though these collegiate giants, sub-anchored by nationally renowned medical hubs, have hands in multiple arenas, the enclave also boasts a magnetic individuality fueled by youthful innovation and commitment to artistic and cultural exploration.
