Overview

Lancaster Art Suite 4 is a 2-bedroom apartment-style rental in Delaware County, situated in Philadelphia's University City area near Drexel and Penn. The unit is set on the third floor of its building and offers a practical, no-frills base for travelers rather than a traditional hotel experience. It is smoke-free and equipped with the basics needed for an independent stay.

Rooms & Amenities

The apartment includes two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed, plus a living area and a bathroom with complimentary towels. In-unit amenities include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi, along with a private kitchen fitted with a microwave and oven stove for self-catering. There is no elevator noted, and the unit's third-floor location means guests should be prepared to carry luggage upstairs.

Dining

While there is no on-site restaurant, the surrounding neighborhood offers a dense cluster of dining options within a short walk, including Quality Taste Jamaican Restaurant & Jerk Hut just 172m away, Holy Guacamoly Mexican restaurant, Kilimandjaro West African restaurant, Wonder University City, Louie Louie, Dig Inn, and the New Deck Tavern Irish pub. The fully equipped kitchen also allows guests to prepare their own meals during longer stays.

Location & Transit

The suite sits within easy reach of local transit, with the 41st St & Lancaster Av tram stop just 141m away and the 40th St subway station about 796m away, making it convenient for commuting into central Philadelphia. William H. Gray III 30th Street train station is roughly 2.1km away, and Philadelphia International Airport is about 10.7km distant. The location places guests close to Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania, making it well suited to campus visits or work commutes in University City.

Best for

This unit best suits budget-conscious travelers, students, or professionals commuting to Drexel, Penn, or University City job sites who need a functional home base rather than hotel amenities, given its private kitchen, in-unit laundry-free basics, and proximity to tram and subway stops. It also works for guests prioritizing walkable access to varied dining options over polish or extensive service.

Travel tips

Pack light or plan for stair access, as the unit is on the third floor with no mention of an elevator. Use the nearby 41st St & Lancaster Av tram stop or the 40th St subway station for quick trips into central Philadelphia, and note that Philadelphia International Airport is about a 15-20 minute drive away. Since the surrounding area has a mix of local street activity, guests commuting for work during daytime hours may find the location most practical.

What guests say

The single available review points to a low-cost stay that came with notable cleanliness issues, including bugs and cobwebs found throughout the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom. The reviewer also noted the inconvenience of climbing to a third-floor unit with luggage and described the surrounding neighborhood as somewhat rough, though people outside were generally not bothersome. Despite these drawbacks, the guest felt the experience was reasonable for the price and functional as a base for a work commute.
