Fodor's Expert Review Chestnut Street Inn

Even in a city with no shortage of excellent B&Bs, this 1905 Colonial Revival–style inn stands out for its location—walking distance of downtown, yet tucked away in the quiet charming Chestnut Hill Historic District. The multilingual innkeepers, Emilie and Arturo, are knowledgeable and enthusiastic boosters of their adopted city. Breakfast draws from local ingredients and includes eggs cooked to order. Port is offered in the afternoon, along with local beers, tea, and fresh-made cookies. A two-bedroom suite is available for families in the adjacent carriage house.
